چکیده
of reducing the unit cell size of microstrip reflectarray which is duplicated the same radiating aperture as quadratic backscatter. A reflectarrays with variable element sizes and reduced grid spacing have been designed at 10 GHz. For a given number of elements, it is shown that increased gain can be attainted for reduced unit cell size with no significant change in array size.

Performance Improvement in the Design of Broad-Beam Microstrip Reflectarray
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 کاملDesign of Broad-Beam Microstrip Reflectarray
The reflectarray’s elements arrangement for generating an arbitrary phase distribution in the antenna aperture and thus a wide beamwidth of the far field pattern is presented. The desired phase delay of reflectarray elements, which duplicated the same radiating aperture as backscatters, is determined on the construction of the curvature of a shaped backscatter surface with the help of Snell's l...
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...
متن کاملA Varactor Loaded Reflectarray Antenna
A new approach for beam steering in reflectarray applications is introduced in this paper. The progressive phase distribution is achieved by loading each microstrip patch element with a varactor diode on the radiating edges. The scattering characteristics of a single varactor loaded patch will be first presented. Then, as a test of the beam steering capability, a five elements linear reflectarr...
متن کاملDesign of a Reconfigurable Reflectarray Unit Cell for Wide Angle Beam-Steering Radar Applications
A reconfigurable aperture-coupled reflectarray element is proposed for the realization of beam steering antennas, suitable for radar applications. Each reflectarray element is coupled to a microstrip line, which is loaded by a single varactor diode acting as a phase shifter element, thus providing a continuously variable reflection phase. A reduced size reflectarray unit cell is properly design...
