A simple ring structure to realise a Ka-band circularly polarised microstrip reflectarray is presented. With rotation techniques employed to focus the reflected wave at a focal point, a 0.5 m right-hand circularly polarised microstrip reflectarray is developed and tested at 31.75 GHz resulting in 50% aperture efficiency. The cross-polarisation levels measured are 40.7 dB down at broadside, showing the validity of the structure. 相似文献

传统的反射阵利用相控器件与微带线实现波束赋形。为了降低相控成本与系统复杂度,提出基于时域调制阵列波束赋形技术。时域调制反射阵列是一种基于简单可重构反射单元的反射阵,它利用控制可重构反射单元的开与关,达到控制阵列输出,实现旁瓣抑制、波束赋形等功能。通过理论推导及仿真,结果表明,时域调制反射阵可以在不采用传统阵列中的相控器件及馈电网络的前提下,采用最小方差无失真响应波束赋形方法与时间调制法,生成理想的方向图,实现波束赋形功能。此特性将有利于推广波束赋形技术在毫米波频段反射阵的应用。 相似文献

This paper reports a dual frequency dual layer circularly polarized reflectarray operating in the C and Ka bands. A 0.5-m right-hand circularly polarized planar reflectarray antenna is designed using microstrip ring elements of variable rotations to achieve a cophasal beam at broadside. The microstrip ring elements are more compact than the traditional reflectarray elements and can minimize blockage for the multilayer multifrequency applications. The highest efficiencies measured are 46% at 7.3 GHz and 38% at 31.75 GHz. The tested cross-polarization levels are -21 dB at 7.3 GHz and -29.2 dB at 31.75 GHz at the broadside direction. The tested results show that the designed ring element is suitable for both the single and dual layer applications with good bandwidth and circularly polarized performance. 相似文献

This paper discusses the theoretical modeling and practical design of millimeter wave reflectarrays using microstrip patch elements of variable size. A full-wave treatment of plane wave reflection from a uniform infinite array of microstrip patches is described and used to generate the required patch-design data and to calculate the radiation patterns of the reflectarray. The critical parameters of millimeter wave reflectarray design, such as aperture efficiency, phase errors, losses, and bandwidth are also discussed. Several reflectarray feeding techniques are described, and measurements from four reflectarray design examples at 28 and 77 GHz are presented 相似文献

A novel broadband millimeter-wave reflectarray antenna composed of windmill-shaped elements of variable lengths is proposed. Compared to the conventional single-layer reflectarray elements, the windmill-shaped elements can realize much larger phase variation range (over 600°), leading to broader bandwidth. Using this technique, a 15°-beam-steering reflectarray operating at 30 GHz is designed. The computed results demonstrate the agreement of the main beam steering with the design requirement, and a 1-dB gain bandwidth close to 20% is obtained. The validity of the obtained results is verified by comparing the ones generated by Ansoft High Frequency Structure Simulator (HFSS) with those produced by Ansoft Designer. The antenna is useful for millimeter-wave applications. 相似文献

A reflectarray antenna composed of a combination of cross and rectangle loops of variable size printed on a conductor-backed substrate is presented. Using this type of cell element, a wideband, single-layer reflectarray is fabricated and measured. The bandwidth performance of this reflectarray is comparable to the previously reported best figures for reflectarrays using stacked-patch cell elements. Measured results demonstrate a radiation efficiency close to 60% and a 1 dB gain bandwidth of 24%, centred at Ku-band. 相似文献

The reflectarray has significant promise in applications requiring high-gain, low-profile reflectors. Recent advances in tuning technology have raised the possibility of realizing electronically tunable reflectarrays, which can dynamically adjust their radiation patterns. This paper presents an electronically tunable reflectarray based on elements tuned using varactor diodes. Modeling approaches based on an equivalent circuit representation and computational electromagnetics simulations are presented. Both techniques accurately predict the scattering characteristics of the unit cell as compared to experimental measurements. The development of a unit cell with over 320omicron of phase agility at 5.5 GHz is discussed. Finally, a 70-element electronically tunable reflectarray prototype operating at 5.8 GHz is presented. Radiation pattern measurements with the reflectarray demonstrate its dynamic beam-forming characteristics. Measurements of the gain of the reflectarray correlate well with theoretical expectations. 相似文献

The purpose of this paper is design of a wide band single layer reflectarray antenna using a new broadband cell. The proposed cell consists of two parts. The first part is a circular patch and the second one is a ring with some additional stubs, which are attached to the patch and ring in a symmetrical form. The circular patch and ring elements are designed at frequencies of 20 GHz and 15 GHz respectively. In order to increase the reflectarray antenna bandwidth, at first the dimensions of the patch, ring and stubs are optimized to attain uniform phase response in the frequency range from 11 GHz to 20 GHz. Then an air layer is considered under the dielectric substrate. The reflectarray antenna is designed based on this optimized wideband unit cell. A wideband horn antenna is also designed as a feed antenna for the proposed reflectarray structure. The reflectarray antenna with horn are simulated. The 1 dB gain-bandwidth of 4.66 GHz is obtained (27.4% fractional bandwidth) in the frequency band of 14.72 GHz to19.38 GHz. Finally, the reflectarray antenna is fabricated and tested. It can be seen that there is a good agreement between simulation and measurement results. 相似文献

The gain bandwidth of a microstrip reflectarray can be substantially improved by replacing the usual layer of near-resonant patches with a simple artificial impedance surface consisting of closely spaced electrically small patches on a grounded dielectric substrate. It is shown that this approach can lead to reflectarray gain bandwidths (1 dB) in excess of 20% with a single layer of printed elements 相似文献

It is shown that the dominant factor controlling reflectarray bandwidth is the bandwidth of the radiating element, and that the effect of non-constant path delays over the surface of the flat reflector has little significance unless the aperture is electrically very large and the f/D ratio is small. An example of a polarisation-twist reflectarray using aperture coupled elements with time delay lines is used to demonstrate this conclusion. 相似文献

A novel method is proposed to shape or switch the radiating beam of a reflectarray antenna by slight displacement of its layers with respect to each other. A reflectarray, which is a quasi-periodic structure composed of microstrip patches loaded by slot elements, is used in this scheme. The required phase shift at each position on the reflectarray surface is obtained by varying the slot length on the ground plane. Several groups of slots are etched on the slot layer and each group corresponds to one and the same beam. Mechanical alignment of the slots that belong to a certain group with the patch leads to activation of the corresponding beam. This method was used to design a reflectarray antenna with three beams at /spl plusmn/30/spl deg/ and 0/spl deg/. Measurement results demonstrated the validity of the design procedure. 相似文献

This paper details an investigation of a power combiner that uses a reflectarray of dual-feed aperture-coupled microstrip patch antennas and a corporate-fed dual-polarized array as a signal distributing/combining device. In this configuration, elements of the reflectarray receive a linearly polarized wave and retransmit it with an orthogonal polarization using variable-length sections of microstrip lines connecting receive and transmit ports. By applying appropriate lengths of these delay lines, the array focuses the transmitted wave onto the feed array. The operation of the combiner is investigated for a small-size circular reflectarray for the cases of -3 dB, -6 dB and -10 dB edge illumination by the 2×2-element dual-polarized array 相似文献

为了满足高增益天线大的移相度和可工作在太赫兹频段,设计了一种基于液晶的双偶极子反射移相单元结构。采用液晶的等效介电常数模型,在频率为335~345 GHz频段均产生360o以上的相移,在342 GHz实现最大相移390o。为了减小液晶不均匀性对相移产生的影响,建立了单元的精确模型,该模型在频率范围为330~338 GHz时均产生了250o以上的相移,在336 GHz实现最大相移285o。与均匀液晶等效介电常数模型相比,产生最大相移的频率点发生了变化,并且产生了最大为105o的移相差值,这在相控反射阵列天线的设计中是不可忽略的。 相似文献

The development of a 0.75-m Cassegrain offset subreflector-fed X/Ka dual-band reflectarray antenna is presented. The subreflector (SR) is fabricated using combinations of prescribed geometric parameters and two left-hand circularly polarized microstrip patch arrays are designed as feed networks with one covering X-band and the other covering Ka-band. The phase corrections in the reflectarray required to form a planar phase front are realized by rotating microstrip ring elements. Low-dielectric constant foam layers are inserted below both the X- and Ka-band membranes to act as support structures and to minimize the degrading effects of thin substrates. It is believed that this is the first Cassegrain offset-fed reflectarray ever been developed. The measured results show efficiencies around 50% for both frequency bands with room for improvements. 相似文献
