A novel broadband and high-gain microstrip reflect array antenna with variable polarization

This article proposed a new kind of microstrip reflect array antenna, of which the polarization could be tuned among all polarization states instead of some fixed states in dual-or multi-polarized antenna. The key techniques approaching the polarized variability include the reflect array unit elements designed especially and the linearly polarized (LP) feed. Theoretical analysis shows that the reflected polarization covers all states; and that the dual-or multi-layered unit structure sandwiched with air-gaps can broaden bandwidth efficiently; and that adopting more elements can enhance antenna gain. As these advantaged features, this kind of antenna has potential significance for engineering applications in radar, communication, and etc. In this article, the complete theoretical analysis is given as well as a specific design sample to verify this method.
