摘要
A dual-frequency reconfigurable reflectarray (RRA) is proposed and verified experimentally. The RRA consists of 1600 electronically controllable elements. By integrating only a single PIN diode, the proposed element is capable to operate at two working frequencies with 1-bit phase resolution. The dual-frequency mechanism is explained through the mode analysis, and a parametric study is performed to provide guidelines for determining the two working frequencies. As an example, a 1600-element RRA prototype is realized by assembling five identical 8 x 40 subarrays. An field programmable gate array control board is used to achieve real-time phase control of each element individually. The experimental results show that the broadside gains of the RRA are 29.3 and 30.8 dBi at 11.1 and 14.3 GHz, respectively. Excellent beam scanning performance is also obtained at both frequencies.
