Abstract

The present invention refers to an arrangement in an antenna, the arrangement comprising: an electrically thin microwave phasing structure including a support member, a reflective arrangement for reflecting microwaves within a frequency operating band and supported by said supporting member, and a phasing arrangement of electromagnetically-loading structures, said electromagnetically-loading structures being interspaced from each other and disposed at a distance from said reflective arrangement by a support matrix to provide said emulation of said desired reflective surface of selected geometry. The electromagnetically-loading structures are arranged on at least two substrate layers in at least two planes.
