Design and Analysis of Conformal Reflectarray Antenna
A reflectarray antenna consisting of $11 \times 11$ elements based on liquid metal and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is proposed in this work. The radiation characteristics of the proposed antenna in the planar state as well as in the different bending states are investigated to analyze the factors affecting the radiation characteristics of the conformal reflectarray antenna. The antenna achieves a peak gain of 20.01 dBi in the planar state.
