Abstract :
In order for a reflectarray to have a thin flat-plate structure, microstrip patches with microstrip transmission delay lines are proposed to form the microstrip reflectarray antenna. The results of a theoretical analysis and evaluation of this antenna are presented. It is shown that, with proper designs, this antenna can have many significant advantages over a conventional parabolic reflector.<>
