Single-layer frequency selective dual-band reflectarray operating at 28 GHz and 39 GHz

Abstract

We report a single-layer frequency selective dual band reflectarray operated at 28 and 39GHz simultaneously. The reflectarray consists of cross dipole and spiral elements aligned on the surface of a substrate and dual band frequency selective surfaces aligned on the rear side. We aligned the cross dipole and spiral elements that can control the reflection direction at 28 and 39GHz aligned on the same plane of the substrate, resulting in a simultaneous dual-band control of the reflection direction up to ±30° independently. Furthermore, the dual band reflectarray showed higher transmittance at frequencies except for the target frequencies, indicating the reflectarray function only at 28 and 39GHz and does not interfere with the other communication bands.
