A reflectarray with independent dual-circular polarizations is proposed for the first time. The reflector panel operates in X-band and contains 97 unit-cells. It is made with a lego-type configuration allowing changing manually the phase aperture distribution and demonstrating experimentally the independence of both polarizations in the same frequency band. To this end, various beam pointing directions are selected in righthand and left-hand polarizations. The achieved bandwidth is 790 MHz (9.4% at the center frequency 8.37 GHz) for an axial ratio lower than 3.5 dB with 1.5 dB gain variations.Index Terms-Dual-polarized passive reflectarray, Dualcircular polarizations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
