Abstract II Abstract As a kind of Ultra-wideband (UWB) antennas, planar slot-coupling antennas have been received much attention in recent years. As a combination of the reflector antenna and the array antenna, microstrip reflectarray is a kind of new antennas, in which the microstrip planar array is used to replace the parabolic reflector in the reflector antenna. The reflection phase from the reflectarray elements are designed so that the reflected energy from the array is collimated to form a main beam in a given direction. The reflectarray has inherent mechanical advantages over parabolic reflector antennas, for example, simple structure, easy fabrication, low cost and easy to implement dual-band or dual-polarization. Therefore, in recent years microstrip reflectarrays have become a hot research topic in this field. In this thesis, a novel design of a fan-shaped antenna embedded in the semicircle aperture is proposed and experimentally studied. The proposed antenna is fed by a tapered coplanar waveguide (CPW) and has an ultrawide band owing to the coupling between the fan-shaped radiation unit and the ground. Experimental results show that the measured impedance bandwidth of the antenna, with -10 dB return loss, covers from 1.64GHz to 25GHz, more than 175% with the center frequency operating at about 13GHz. Good radiation patterns and gains covering the operating band have been observed. This wideband antenna has laid a good foundation for the design of wideband microstrip planar reflectarray element. Then, a novel single-layer microstrip reflectarray element composed of a rectangular patch and a rectangular ring is presented. Ansoft HFSS and CST Microwave Studio, two different kinds of electromagnetic simulation softwares, are used to analyze the reflection phase for the designed element. To validate the proposed design and evaluate its performances, a parametric study is carried out. For the optimal parametrics, the proposed structure offers a phasing slope va
