Reflectarrays for mm-Wave radar applications

This paper gives an overview of mm-Wave reflectarrays used for civil radar applications such as collision avoidance system for rescue helicopters at 94 GHz or FOD detection on airport runways at 77 GHz. Both antenna designs and examples of radar performances are presented and discussed.
