Polarization Diversity and Adaptive Beamsteering for 5G Reflectarrays: A Review

The growing demands of advanced future communication technologies require investigating the possible enhancement in the current features of a reflectarray antenna. Its design and experimental features need a thorough investigation before a plausible transition towards millimeter wave frequencies. Th...
