Circular Concentric-Ring Reflectarray Design Using a Coaxial Wedge Unit Cell
Keywords:
Coaxial waveguide, frequency selective surface, periodic structures, reflectarray, waveguide, waveguide simulator methodAbstract
This paper presents a design methodology for a concentric ring reflectarray using angular periodic structures. This paper also examines the coaxial wedge unit cell using the waveguide simulator method and contrasts it to the coaxial unit ring approach. The coaxial wedge unit cell approach is seen to offer a more efficient and more extendable means of simulation than the coaxial unit ring approach.
