Dual-band X/Ku Reflectarray Antenna Using a Novel FSS-Backed Unit-Cell with Quasi- Spiral Phase Delay Line

A novel FSS-Backed reflectarray unit cell is introduced to design a dual-band X/Ku Reflectarray Antenna (RA). A Kuband RA based on this FSS-Backed cell element is designed and located on the top of a conventional X-band RA. Actually, the band-stop Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) property is applied to a wideband element to create isolation between X and Ku band RAs which utilizing the same ra...

A Reflectarray Antenna Backed on Fss for Low Rcs and High Radiation Performances

This paper investigates the application of frequencyselective surface (FSS) in reflectarray antennas for the purpose of reducing radar cross section (RCS) level. Different from previous reports, the presented band-stop FSS structure is also characterized by the suppression of surface waves, which makes a contribution to better radiation performance. Two 14×14 reflectarray antennas backed on the...

Study of Different Dual-Reflectarray Antenna Configurations for Beam-Scanning Applications

Dual-reflectarray configurations exhibits some advantages from both mechanical and electrical points of view with respect to reflector antennas. Dual-reflectarray antennas present a reduced volume and the capability of being easily folded. Furthermore, these antenna configurations provide phase control on both reflectarray surfaces [1], which can be used to improve the antenna performance for m...

Microelectromechanical Resonators for Radio Frequency Communication Applications

Over the past few years, microelectromechanical system (MEMS) based on-chip resonators have shown significant potential for sensing and high frequency signal processing applications. This is due to their excellent features like small size, large frequency-quality factor product, low power consumption, low cost batch fabrication, and integrability with CMOS IC technology. Radio frequency communi...
