Abstract
A procedure for the design of a planar reflector antenna comprising a quasiperiodic metallic echelette grating is described. The reflector i s designed so that the power radiated by the feed is deflected by the various portions of the reflector towards a desired direction. The pos sibility of steering the main beam by shifting the frequency with near ly no loss in gain is demonstrated. The sensitivity to cell fabricatio n errors and to improper feed location, which is essential information for the antenna designer, is examined.
