An X-band planar reflector with a broad responding beam was developed using the Van Atta retrodirective antenna array. The reflector contained four antenna sub-arrays, each with six dual-slot antennas appropriately fed and paired by microstrip lines on the backside of the substrate. Good agreement has been achieved between theoretical and measured results.
