Abstract

A Terahertz (THz) reflectarray is designed using three separate unit cells has been proposed. The reflectarray makes use of gold patches on PDMS substrate in order to obtain a design that covers a phase range of complete 360? for a frequency of 1 THz. A 255 element array is designed and simulated to show that good directivity and narrowbeam with 8. 6? beamwidth in the ? = 0? plane is obtained using the proposed design.
