Abstract

A perfect anomalous reflector is designed by employing the receiving and scattering array antenna theory to optimize the scattering characteristics of a planar reflecting surface. For periodic reflectors with a supercell consisting of a relatively few reactively loaded radiating elements, reflection amplitudes into propagating Floquet modes are controlled in an algebraic optimization of the load reactances, avoiding brute-force optimization via electromagnetic simulations. Wide-angle reflectors are numerically designed and compared with the conventional reflectarray designs, showing that the proposed design approach achieves reflection efficiencies higher than the linear reflection phase gradient method in a computationally efficient manner.
