Single-Layer Dual-Band Dual-Linear-Polarization Reflectarray Antenna with Different Beams for Each Band

A novel single-layer unit cell structure is proposed to design a dual-band dual-linearpolarization reflectarray antenna with different beams for X and Ku bands. The unit cell structure is composed of a circular ring and two cross bow-tie structures combined by a circular patch. Five tunable geometric parameters can be optimized to achieve the required phase distributions of the reflectarray ant...

Single-Layer Multi-band Circularly Polarized Reflectarray Antenna: Concept, Design, and Measurement

This paper presents a single layer multi-band reflectarray antenna with circular polarization. The antenna geometry and operation principles are described. The reflectarray design procedure, including antenna elements and offset feed, is illustrated in details. An X band reflectarray prototype is fabricated and measured in the near field system, which realizes a 30.4 dB gain, 53.7% efficiency, ...

Optically reconfigurable unit cell for Ka-band reflectarray antennas

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...

Reflectarray for K/ka-band Terminal Antenna

Different satellite systems have been defined to provide broadband communications and internet access in remote geographical areas in Ka band (20-30 GHz) [1-2], being the up-link at 30 GHz and the down-link at 20 GHz. Costeffective antennas are required for fixed and portable terminals in Ka-band. Conventional reflectors are a preferred option to maintain reduced costs. However, the different r...
