Abstract
Reflectarrays (RAs) offer not only low-cost and low-profile solutions for point-to-point communications, but they also have a controllable polarization and frequency response. This property of an RA allows to realize polarization-selective and multi-band high-gain apertures. Here, we propose a novel dual-band dual-circularly polarized (CP) RA with a unique set of properties. The RA is composed of a dual-band dual-linearly polarized (LP) RA and a dual-band LP-to-CP polarizer. By dividing the CP-RA into an LP-RA and a polarizer, we obtain the ability to radiate CP shaped beams or pencil beams at desired directions for any of the dual bands and for each polarization, independently. Moreover, the polarizer has a unique property to convert an LP wave to orthogonal CP waves at the two bands. This relaxes the feed complexity and increases the out of band rejection. The underlying unit cell of the proposed RA is designed for 18.2-18.8 GHz and 27.8-28.3 GHz. It provides a 323° phase shift in the lower band and 381° phase shift in the higher band while maintaining a cross polarization level more than 15 dB in both bands, and excellent decoupling between the two bands. An offset-fed RA is designed and full-wave simulation results are presented and confirm the performance of the proposed structure.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
