The reflectarray is center-fed by a linearly polarized pyramidal horn antenna. At 10.6 GHz, the antenna provides a 3-dB beamwidth of 6 degrees with a gain of 25.5 dB. The antenna bandwidth within 1.5 dB gain variation is found to be 9% with stable radiation patterns.","PeriodicalId":190987,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128503662","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To this end, first the terminated version of SE-EBG-RA element is introduced. Then, it is shown that how such elements can structure the series array effectively. Results show that the application of EBG cells and thick traces yields high efficiency, alleviated mutual coupling, and a symmetrical broadside pattern with reduced numerical computation load.","PeriodicalId":190987,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125599469","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two beams are generated by using two vertical conducting walls along the microstrip line, each located one-third the width away from each edge. The directions of the main beams are controlled by changing the reactance profile between the free edges of the microstrip line and the ground. This is achieved by placing periodic patches very close to the edges of the microstrip line and controlling their connections to the ground. The full-wave numerical simulations demonstrate the ability to control the directions of both beams simultaneously at 7.75 GHz.","PeriodicalId":190987,"journal":{"name":"2014 16th International Symposium on Antenna Technology and Applied Electromagnetics (ANTEM)","volume":"426 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123564502","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
