Abstract :
In this paper, an X-band 2-D parallel plate reflectarray antenna is proposed. An H-plane horn antenna has been designed and used as the feeder. The reflector is made of nineteen TE mode rectangular waveguides positioned side-by-side on a straight-line. Phase compensation is achieved by adjusting the length of each waveguide accordingly. This passive reflectarray is the first step in the development of an electronic beam scanning reflectarray antenna.
