3. A reflect array comprising:
-
a plurality of array elements forming an array configured to control a direction of a reflected wave (scattered wave) by controlling a phase of the reflected wave; and a ground plane, wherein the array elements are polarization sharing elements and have a function capable of being shared and used for incident waves coming in as both horizontally-polarized and vertically-polarized waves.

12. A reflect array comprising:
-
a plurality of array elements; and a ground plane, wherein each array element is formed of a crossed dipole having a horizontal rod and a vertical rod; and when an incidence direction of a vertically-polarized wave and an incidence direction of a horizontally-polarized wave are different from each other, the vertical rods are operated for the incidence of the vertically-polarized wave so that a reflected wave (scattered wave) is radiated in a direction determined by a phase of a current distribution of each vertical rod, and the horizontal rods are operated for the incidence of the horizontally-polarized wave so that a reflected wave (scattered wave) is radiated in a direction determined by a phase of a current distribution of each horizontal rod, thereby independently determining a radiation direction of the reflected wave of the vertically-polarized wave and a radiation direction of the reflected wave of the horizontally-polarized wave. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14, 15, 16, 17)
