Broadband Resonant Elements for 5G Reflectarray Antenna Design
Abstract: The performance
investigation of two novel resonant elements is presented in this work for 5G reflectarray
antenna design. Two dual resonance elements with wide reflection phase range
have been developed from a square patch element by a novel corner bending
tactic. The reflection loss and reflection phase range performance of the
proposed elements have been compared with conventional square patch element at
26 GHz. The results have shown a reflection phase swing of 629° and 632° for
Bent Width and Bent Length elements respectively. The broadband features of
proposed elements can radically improve the bandwidth performance of a
reflectarray antenna.
