Microstrip disc element reflect array
Abstract
This paper describes the microstrip disk reflect array element concept and its utility over conventional phased arrays and reflect arrays. The microstrip disk reflect array element is based on three fundamental considerations; symmetry, phase shifting of a circular polarized element by simple rotation of the element, and the reflective characteristics of the microstrip disk reflect array element. These fundamental considerations are presented in descriptive form. The results of a laboratory test of a 61 element microstrip disk reflect array is described.
