Abstract:

- A reflectarray antenna consists of elements of rectangular dielectric resonator (DRA) with slot loading of different lengths is proposed for bandwidth enhancement. Two DRA sizes an two slot widths are available to tune the phase of each element in the reflectarray so that a full 360 degrees phase shifts can be achieved by superposition. Two structures are presented in that paper. The first is center fed reflectarray while the second is offset fed for decreasing the feeder blockage. The antenna has 10% bandwidth for 1 dB gain variation is obviously wider than that of conventional reflectarray antenna while the offset fed reflectarray provide better far field pattern with back lobes reduction by -5 dB and side lobe by -2 dB. A pyramidal X-band horn was used in both reflectarrays which have 23 x 23 elements of with cells separation of 12 mm that less than 15 mm (lambda/2) for avoiding grating lobes. The analyses are carried out using the finite integration technique (FIT) and the transmission line method (TLM) with good agreements between them.
