Problems solved by technology

[0003] The traditional planar reflectarray antenna is also called the microstrip reflectarray antenna. The microstrip reflectarray antenna adopts the microstrip structure. The microstrip dielectric layer as the unit support structure has many adverse effects on the performance of the reflectarray antenna. The dielectric layer increases the loss and reduces the gain
The second is that the microstrip dielectric layer is difficult to maintain flatness when working in an outdoor environment
The dielectric material is hygroscopic, absorbing air moisture under outdoor environmental conditions causes the dielectric layer to expand and shrink, resulting in warping of the dielectric layer and affecting the flatness of the reflective surface
The third is that the dielectric constant of the microstrip dielectric layer will change after moisture absorption, which will affect the phase compensation
Fourth, the structural stability of the microstrip dielectric layer is insufficient, and it is easy to be broken and damaged
[0005] The disadvantages of the above schemes are: as is known to researchers in this field, the reflectarray unit can achieve phase change by changing the size and length of the branches. In principle, the array unit requires a phase change of more than 360 degrees. Only when 360 degrees is satisfied can the phase angle be adjusted. Achieve comprehensive compensation, so that the reflectarray antenna achieves wide frequency band and good gain characteristics
The paper focuses on the description of the two structures, citing the data of the paper, and the basic scheme (such as Figure 11 shown) can achieve a phase change of 257 degrees, the preferred solution (such as Figure 12 shown) to achieve a phase change of 300 degrees, neither of which can achieve a 360-degree phase compensation
Limited by the phase compensation capability, the working frequency band is about 8.3%, and the antenna efficiency is not high

The branches 5 are distributed on or near the included angle of the phase hole 4 , and the branches 5 are preferably evenly distributed on the phase hole 4 in a non-centrosymmetric manner. The branches 6 are linear, and when the phase is adjusted, the branches 5 extend toward the center of the phase hole 4, and the branches 6 extend along the edge of the phase hole 4, wherein the branches 6 are far from the edge of the phase hole 4 The smallest part of the gap is less than one-tenth of the working wavelength. The effect similar to the circular structure can also be achieved through the above scheme. Note that the central direction of the square phase hole 4 is its diagonal intersection position, and the non-centrosymmetric distribution of branches means tha...
