A 3D-Printed Bi-Material Bragg-Based Reflectarray Antenna

Résumé

This paper presents a 3D-printed fully dielectric bi-material reflectarray with bandgap characteristics for multi-band applications. To achieve bandgap characteristics, a “1D Bragg reflector” unit cell is used. The latter is a layered structure characterized by a spatial distribution of refractive index that varies periodically along one dimension. By appropriately selecting the dimensions, the bandgap can be shifted to cover the desired frequency bands. To validate this bandgap characteristic, a (121.5 mm × 121.5 mm) with an f/D ratio of 0.5 reflectarray was fabricated. The measured gain at 27 GHz is 27.22 dBi, equivalent to an aperture efficiency of 35.05%, demonstrating good agreement between simulated and measured performances within the frequency range of 26–30 GHz. Additionally, the transparency of the reflectarray was verified by measuring the transmission coefficient, which exhibited a high level of transparency of 0.32 dB at 39 GHz. These features make the proposed reflectarray a good candidate for multi-band frequency applications.
