“…As an outstanding candidate for high-gain antennas, the microstip reflectarray antenna has received considerable attentions since its inception [1][2]. It combines some of the favorable features of reflectors and phased arrays, such as high radiation efficiency, low-profile, lightweight, and easy-to-deploy.…”

Abstract-A simulation technique based on Finite-Difference TimeDomain (FDTD) is used to analyze mutual coupling effects in reflectarray environment. The neighbouring element method has the ability to analyze actual non-identical reflectarray unit-cell accurately compared to the traditional Floquet simulation which assumes all unitcell is identical. It is also found that the nearest neighbouring unit-cell located in E-plane has a larger mutual coupling effects compared to the neighbouring unit-cell in H-plane. A good agreement is shown between simulation and measurement results. This technique presents a new prediction method for the radiation pattern of reflectarray antenna.

“…Synthesizing the distribution of the surface impedance can obtain a desired phase front for reflecting the incoming wave into a desired direction. 11 A reflectarray antenna using microstrip patches of variable size for controlling their phase distribution was developed. 12 Other researchers developed a Ka-band microstrip reflectarray with identical square patches with identical microstrip phase-delay lines but different element rotation angles.…”

This study investigates the reflection characteristics of a composite Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) surface consisting of multiple orthogonal gradient AMC surfaces arranged in a two-dimensional periodic pattern. The gradient AMC surface in this study consists of square metal patches of variable size printed on a grounded dielectric substrate. Due to the orthogonal placement of the gradient AMC surface, the incident energy of a plane wave normally incident on the composite AMC surface will be reflected into four major lobes away from the impinging direction. To achieve a systematical design, a simple formula based on array antenna theory was developed to determine the reflection pattern of the gradient AMC surface illuminated by a normal incident plane wave. A time-domain full-wave simulation was also carried out to calculate the electromagnetic fields in the structure and the far-field patterns. The scattering patterns of the structure were measured in an electromagnetic anechoic chamber. Results confirm the design principle and procedures in this research. Since such a composite AMC surface can be easily fabricated using the standard printed circuit board technique without via-hole process, it may have potential applications in beam-steering and radar cross section reduction
