چکیده
Abstract : This paper presents an equivalent model for a multiple-resonance reflectarray cell. It allows predicting the different phase-states of the cell from only a very few full-wave simulations. Demonstrations are first given for a passive cell where different geometrical parameters are varied. Then, the approach is generalized to a reconfigurable cell. Finally, a canonical reflectarray with a steered beam has been synthesized in order to illustrate the capabilities of the proposed equivalent circuit.

Introduction: Active reflectarrays are promising solutions for reconfigurable radiating apertures at reasonable cost [1]. One of the main challenges is to design phase-shifting cells whose phase can be controlled dynamically over a 360° phase range with smooth frequency variations, low losses and reduced number of active elements. MEMS [2] or diodes [3] are usually used to dynamically control t...
متن کاملEquivalent Circuit Model for Square Ring Slot Frequency Selective Surface
An equivalent circuit model for predicting the frequency response of a square ring slot frequency selective surface (SRS-FSS) for normal incidence is described. The proposed FSS consists of an array of square patches centered within a wire grid. The presented circuit model is formed by the impedance of the wire grid that is parallel with the impedance of the patch array, also the mutual couplin...
