Abstract

Significant improvements in terms of bandwidth of reflectarray antennas have been achieved by introduction of innovative paper substrate dielectric materials. Three differently custom composed organic dielectric substrates have been characterized for dielectric properties using a broadband technique based on open ended coax cable method. The substrates show low dielectric permittivities of 1.81, 1.63 and 1.84 along with a loss tangent of 0.053, 0.047 and 0.057. Validation of using the proposed substrates for reflectarray antenna was done by modelling and fabricating reflectarray unit elements on the three substrates. Scattering parameter analysis of unit reflectarray elements show encouraging results with a broadband frequency response of 340 MHz at a phase gradient of 0.14 º/MHz. Thus the proposed substrate could serve exceptionally to address the narrow bandwidth problem in reflectarray antennas.

Abstract

This article presents an analysis of reflection loss and reflection phase behavior of a novel microstrip reflectarray antenna, embedded on paper substrate material. Two different paper substrates were first analyzed for dielectric material properties. A detailed analysis of scattering parameters of rectangular patch element with variable substrate heights has been carried out. Rectangular patch elements fabricated using adhesive copper tape over the paper substrate, show that a wide bandwidth is achieved compared to available conventional substrate materials. Fabricated patch elements over paper substrate material show a broadband frequency response of 340 and 290 MHz. It has also been demonstrated that the measured reflection phase ranges for both the substrate cover 310º and 294º at low phase gradients of 0.12 and 0.24 º/MHz respectively.

Abstract

This paper presents an analysis of reflection phase of reflectarray antenna based on high loss organic substrate material. Paper substrate material derived from recycled materials was characterized for dielectric material properties. The material shows excellent dielectric material properties with permittivity of 1.63 and loss tangent of 0.048. Effect of substrate height variation over the reflection phase has been discussed. Full wave analysis of the simulated model depicts that the reduction in substrate height after a certain point results in reflection phase distortion of reflectarray element. Validation of the results has been done by simulation, fabrication and scattering parameters measurements of a rectangular patch element on proposed substrate material. The results show a broadband frequency response of 355 MHz and a phase range of 301º at a phase gradient of 0.14 º/MHz.
