The Ka band has found applications in satellite, and radar communications. It is also expected that this band will be utilized for 5G applications. This paper presents single-and double-beam microstrip reflectarrays with single layer and compact size for Ka band communications at 28 GHz. Three different unit cells are investigated in this paper. Single-and double-beam reflectarrays are investigated. The reflectarrays are designed at 28 GHz with a physical size of 10k 9 10k. A pyramidal horn antenna is used for the feeding purpose. The focal-length-to-diameter (F/D) ratio is equal to one. Two different scenarios for single-beam reflectarrays are presented: one with a broadside direction and the other with a 10°tilt angle. The simulation results show that for the broadside single-beam scenario, it is possible to achieve a gain up to 28.5 dB, and a 1-dB gain-bandwidth up to 30.7%. On the other hand, the presented reflectarray for the single-beam design at 10°tilt angle gives a gain of about 26.4 dB, a side lobe level (SLL) of about-15.6 dB, and a 19.3% gain-bandwidth. For the double-beam reflectarray, four different designs at different angles of 5°, 10°, 15°, and 20°have been simulated and compared. Moreover, the simulation results on the double-beam reflectarray show that the double-beam design at 10°is better from the gain and SLL perspectives. Two prototypes for broadside single-beam reflectarrays have been fabricated and measured. The measurement results show a good match with the simulation results. Gain flatness is guaranteed for both the simulated and measured results over the band of interest.
