摘要: The design and implementation of a broadband single-layer circularly polarized reflectarray antenna is presented in this letter. Each element the proposed consists circular microstrip patch attached to four variable-length phase delay lines achieve more than 650° linear for frequencies range 9.6-11.2 GHz. Measurement results show 15.5% 3-dB gain bandwidth 14.6% axial-ratio bandwidth.
