This contribution proposes the use of single and dual reflectarray configurations to provide multi-spot coverage in Ka-band from a geostationary satellite, using a smaller number of apertures and feeds than conventional reflector systems. First, a 1.8-m parabolic reflectarray antenna has been designed to produce multiple spot beams through the generation of two beams per feed in orthogonal circular polarization (CP) at Tx and Rx frequencies. Moreover, a dual RA configuration has been designed to produce two spot beams in orthogonal CP from a single feed in dual linear polarization (LP). The simulated results are compared for the two designed antennas, showing the feasibility of both configurations and their potential to be used for multiple beam applications in Ka-band.
