Substrate Thickness in a Microstrip Reflectarray
نویسنده
چکیده
The effects of substrate thickness on the performance of a microstrip reflectarray are investigated. These effects are analyzed in terms of specular reflection coefficients due to incident plane waves. Numerous plots for different substrate thicknesses are generated for discussion in this article.

Ring Shaped Compact Microstrip Reflectarray Antenna
Regularly shaped compact microstrip antennas have a small size but their gain is insufficient for most applications. Therefore, a ring-shaped compact microstrip reflectarray with microstrip antenna feed has been proposed. Different configurations, namely, 1 × 3, 3 × 1, plus-shaped and 3 × 3 have been analyzed. The 3 × 3 configuration yields an optimum gain of 10. 8 dBi and a narrow beamwidth of...

(August 2006) Chul Min Han, B.S., Korea University Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Kai Chang In recent years there has been a growing demand for reduced mass, small launch volume, and, at the same time, high-gain large-aperture antenna systems in modern space-borne applications. Thi...
متن کاملAnalysis of a Microstrip Reflectarray Antenna for Microspacecraft Applications
A microstrip reflectarray is a flat reflector antenna that can be mounted conformally onto a spacecraft’s outside structure without consuming a significant amount of spacecraft volume and mass. For large apertures (2 m or larger), the antenna’s reflecting surface, being flat, can be more easily and reliably deployed than a curved parabolic reflector. This article presents the study results on a...

This is a theoretical and experimental study of microstrip reflectarray useable in wireless local area networks (WLAN). The effectiveness of reducing the unit cell size of microstrip reflectarray which is duplicated the same radiating aperture as quadratic backscatter was investigated. A reflectarray with variable element sizes and reduced grid spacing have been designed at 10 GHz. For a given ...
متن کاملReflectarray antennas for terahertz communications
Reflectarrays composed of resonant microstrip gold patches on a dielectric substrate are demonstrated for operation at terahertz frequencies. Based on the relation between the patch size and the reflection phase, a progressive phase distribution is implemented on the patch array to create a reflector able to deflect an incident beam towards a predefined angle off the specular direction. In orde...
