    Varuna Subsystems: Reflectarray Antenna and Feed

    The feed system enhances the efficiency of a deployable reflectarray antenna by reducing spillover loss, improving taper efficiency, and ensuring phase alignment for better signal strength. Key design challenges include compact storage, deployment accuracy, material selection, thermal distortions, and mechanical complexity.
