Abstract
A low cost wideband dual polarized 3D printed digital metasurface reflectarray antenna for mm-wave applications is presented in this paper. The metasurface unit cell element is composed of dielectric dipole loaded with stubs. The optimized dimensions of the unit cell element provides eight binary states (000,001,010,011,100,101,110,111) with a phase difference of π / 4. The metasurface reflector of dimensions 4.5 λo × 4.5 λo is designed and illunmated by a 3D printed horn, kept at the optimized focal point of 45 mm. The measured results shows a stable radiation pattern over the operating frequency range from 26 GHz-36 GHz. A maximum gain of 19.5 dBi is obtained at 34 GHz, corresponding aperture efficiency of 35%. Besides, a measured 3 dB gain bandwidth of 32% is obtained, indicating the wideband characteristics of the proposed metasurface reflectarray antenna.
