Transmission Line Analysis of Aperture-Coupled Reflectarrays
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research C, Vol. 4, 1-12, 2008
Abstract
A fast analysis of aperture-coupled reflectarrays is presented in this work in terms of transmission line model. The circuital approach is adopted to derive the phase design curve as a function of the current flowing on the equivalent impedance of the single radiating element. Computational costs are drastically reduced with respect to standard full-wave methods. Numerical and experimental validations are discussed on slot-coupled reflectarray configurations working at different operating frequencies.
