Characterization of Transmission and Reflection of Ku Band Split Ring Resonator Reflectarray using Waveguide Method
Main Article Content
Abstract
In this paper, the analysis, design, and measurement of a split ring resonator reflectarray is presented. The 6 different designs of reflectarray are simulated to analyze the effect of splits position on resonance frequency. The SRR reflectarray which covered highest frequency bandwidth at Ku-band is fabricated and tested. In the fabrication, FR4 substrate is used. The S-parameter measurements of the fabricated reflectarray are performed by waveguide method. The obtained results have good reflection characteristics for a wide frequency range from 12 GHz to 16.5 GHz in Ku-band. The maximum value of reflection is achieved approximately at 15.3 GHz frequency
