Abstract:
In the field of circular-polarized planar wire antennas for very wide band telecommunications systems, and an antenna reflector for such an antenna, an antenna device comprises an antenna reflector and an antenna, and a method for implementing the antenna reflector. The antenna reflector comprises, on the one hand, a first reflection region exhibiting electromagnetic properties of an electrical conductor in a first sub-band of frequencies and, on the other hand, a second reflection region exhibiting electromagnetic properties akin to a magnetic conductor in a second sub-band of frequencies. Each reflection region is designed to face a region of the antenna able to emit electromagnetic radiation in the corresponding sub-band of frequencies in order to reflect the electric field of the backward radiation in phase with the electric field of the forward radiation.
Abstract:
A method of designing a reflectarray including a substrate having a surface perpendicular to a predetermined axis, wherein elements are disposed on the substrate. The method obtains a reflection phase of the elements as a function of a design parameter such as element spacing, when a radio wave enters the arranged elements, and stores a relationship between the reflection phase and the design parameter in a memory. Here, the design parameter is equally set for the elements. The method repeatedly determines, for each of the elements, the design parameter of a specific element in accordance with the relationship. The function of the design parameter has a range of almost 360 degrees with respect to a range of the design parameter. The reflection phase is the continuous function of the element spacing such that two resonant points occur at which the reflection phase becomes zero.

A wideband antenna includes a radiation element, first and second extension elements, first and second reflection elements, and a feeding element. The radiation element is symmetric to a reference direction and has a top edge, a bottom edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge. A width of the radiation element gradually increases along the reference direction. The first and second extension elements are extended toward the reference direction respectively from two ends of the top edge and are mirror-symmetric to each other with respect to the reference direction. Widths of the first and second extension elements gradually decrease along the reference direction. The first and second reflection elements are respectively opposite to the first and second side edges and are mirror-symmetric to each other with respect to the reference direction. The feeding element is electrically connected to the bottom edge and has a feeding point.
