This contribution describes the design of a printed reflectarray antenna to operate at 19.7 and 29.5 GHz with independent beams in H and V polarizations. A dual-frequency dual-polarization reflectarray cell, made of two stacked sets of parallel dipoles for each polarization, is proposed. The dipole lengths are adjusted to produce the required phase-shift at each frequency and each polarization. A 1.6-m reflectarray has been designed to produce two closely spaced beams in H and V polarizations.
