As the important case of conformal arrays, conformal arrays on cylindrical surfaces have been widely used in radar and communication systems. This paper explores the chances of designing conformal reflectarray on cylindrical platform. An extended array theory method is proposed in this paper for analyzing the radiation patterns of cylindrical conformal reflectarray. The radiation characteristics of conformal reflectarray on convex and concave cylindrical surfaces are studied, and the performances of the two cases are compared with planar cases. It is shown that the cylindrical conformal reflectarray can be a good candidate of high gain antennas for applications where a slightly curved conformal platform is available.
