SPS16 – Transmit and Reflect Array Design and Measurement Methods in the mmW and THz Range

The aim is to set up a session grouping papers on the design of agile radiating surfaces in transmission or reflection modes, for near-field applications (focusing, imaging, etc.) or far-field applications (beam-forming for telecommunications and radars) in very high frequency ranges. The characterization aspect and associated test benches will also be highlighted, as they represent a major challenge at these frequencies.
