Abstract | The analysis and design of reflectarray (RA) antennas based in delay lines is introduced for the first time from a filter perspective. To this purpose, each unit-cell of the RA is considered as a network composed of two ports, one being the delay line and the other one the free-space. This approach allows to borrow the coupling matrix formalism from filter theory and apply it to design unit-cells exhibiting broadband operation together with very sharp frequency responses. The concept is demonstrated with the aid of planar printed unit-cells coupled to substrate integrated waveguides (SIWs) through slots, a configuration that offers significant advantages to shape its frequency response while providing relatively low loss. With the aim of validation, a third order filter structure integrated in SIW-based unit-cells has been experimentally tested using the waveguide simulator technique, at a center frequency of 9 GHz. Measurements demonstrate a high-quality linear phase variation and range, and large frequency selectivity together with broadband response for the element of about 18%. The experimental results show the feasibility of this approach for the design of broadband reflectarray antennas exhibiting sharp gain responses. To illustrate the concept, a medium size reflectarray has been theoretically designed using the proposed unit cell at 9 GHz, showing a directive beam with 35.8 dB gain, sharp gain selectivity over 18 dB, and confirms the wide band operation with 20.3% bandwidth for a 3 dB gain variation. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
