- Abstract
- A wide-angle reconfigurable reflectarray antenna (RRA) was designed and experimentally verified utilizing a miniaturized ring patch efficiently controllable with a single bit. Based on the merits of the miniaturization of the radiating element and an elaborate study of the quantization efficiencies of the asymmetric phase differences between the on/off states of the unit cell by optimizing a reference phase on the metasurface, highly directive beam scanning is achieved in a wide ±60° range in both the <italic>H</italic>- and <italic>E</italic>-planes. Furthermore, the illumination and spillover efficiencies and focal diameter ratio (F/D) are carefully optimized, resulting in a low profile configuration with F/D=0.36. The fabricated RRA prototype was measured at 9.85 GHz (X-band) with the highest aperture efficiency of 28% and a 1 dB gain bandwidth of 530 MHz, respectively. Author
