Abstract
A twistarray reflector includes: a reflector having front reflecting surface comprising wires and a back reflecting surface, the front reflecting surface fabricated from the wires and composites where the wires are placed having an orientation at each point on the front surface to decompose an incident field into orthogonal components so that an electromagnetic reflected from the front surface when superposed with a phase-inverted electromagnetic field reflected from the back reflecting surface produces a net reflected electromagnetic field that is polarized in a specific vector direction with consistent phase.
