Abstract

In this paper, two THz reflectarray surfaces have been designed and fabricated in order to deflect a plane wave with any polarization and with a specific incident angle to three different specific directions each at distinct three frequencies of 0.7, 1.0 and 1.5 THz. The surface is composed of an array of 100 $\times$ 100 cells, each comprised of gold crosses and parasitic dipoles printed on thin grounded high resistivity silicon. Finite-element method (FEM) simulations are in line with the measurement results obtained using THz time-domain spectroscopy (THz TDS) showing the intended deflections for the two fabricated samples each with an arbitrary frequency-vs-deflection angle relationship. In addition, the use of silicon as the substrate paves the way for the integration of reconfigurable technologies which enhances the reflectarray versatility.
