Design Study of Microstrip Reflectarray Antenna Using Different Lengths of the patches

Abstract

A microstrip reflectarray is a flat reflector antenna that can be mounted conformally on to a spacecraft's outside structure. The antenna's reflecting surface, being flat, can be more easily and reliably deployed than a curved parabolic reflector. This paper presents the design study of microstrip reflectarray, theoretical analysis of the antenna performance parameters, such as radiation pattern, gain, and bandwidth are also presented. A comparison between microstrip reflector array and parabolic reflector are presented.
