Reconfigurable scan‐beam hollow patch reflectarray antenna loaded with tunable capacitor

Abstract: In this article, the design concept of an active reconfigurable reflectarray antenna has been proposed and tested. The elementary radiators are hollow patch element loaded with varactor‐diode device in which the reflected phase can be varied. This phase alteration is based on the variation of the diode capacitance which can be achieved by varying the biasing voltage of the active varactor device. By activating these varactor devices, the phase of each antenna element in the array configuration can be adopted d… Show more

“…Second, it eliminates the complexities and losses associated with beamforming networks and expensive transmit/receive modules of phased array antennas . The multibeam, electronic scanning of a reflectarray can be achieved with good beam pattern properties and polarimetric isolations . However, compared to the reflector antenna, one of the most severe drawbacks of a reflectarray is the narrower bandwidth performance, which is limited by both the narrow bandwidth behavior of microstrip elements and the different spatial phase delays in a large aperture .…”
