A Foldable Reflectarray on a Hexagonal Twist Origami Structure

In this paper, a novel deployable flat panel reflectarray antenna (RA) is designed on an origami folding pattern for Small Satellite applications. The RA aperture deploys into a hexagonal geometry that achieves an aperture efficiency of a least 60%, 10–20% higher tha...
