  • Circularly Polarized Folded Reflectarray Antenna With Improved Aperture Efficiency

    This paper presents a method for improving the aperture efficiency of circularly polarized folded reflectarray (CPFRA) antennas. The reflection-phase distribution of the circular polarization selective surface (CPSS) constituting the CPFRA antenna is modified to maximize the aperture efficiency. CPFRA antennas designed with the proposed and conventional methods are simulated. Compared with the conventional CPFRA antenna with uniform CPSS reflection-phase distribution, the proposed one with the optimized non-uniform distribution has less spillover and higher aperture efficiency. The directivity and the corresponding aperture efficiency of the proposed CPFRA antenna are 28.7 dBic and 72.7% at 18.95 GHz, respectively. The CPFRA antennas designed with the proposed and conventional methods are fabricated and measured. Less spillover and higher gain are also observed in the measurement of the proposed CPFRA antenna.
