Modified Phasing Element for Broadband Reflectarray Antennas
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 71, 9-16, 2017
Abstract
New phasing element for a wideband microstrip reflectarray is presented. It is formed by a phase-delay line attached to a circular ring loaded with a circular disc microstrip. The structure is enclosed by a circular ring element with a pair of gaps. It is shown that the new phasing element offers a wider bandwidth with an increased phasing range that is useful in reflectarrays phase compensation procedure. Full wave EM simulations is carried out. The results of the simulations show the possible wideband operation of the designed reflectarray. Good agreement exists between simulation results and measurements by waveguide simulator method. The mutual coupling effect for a realistic reflectarray configuration with non-identical cells is accounted for by using the perturbation technique.
