Design and Performance Analysis of Reconfigurable Corner Reflector Antenna with Plasma Reflectors
This paper presents the design and performance of a novel square corner reflector antenna for the UHF range. The proposed plasma corner reflector antenna (PCRA) for beamforming and beam shaping is designed in CST. In this setup, two flat sheet plasma reflectors are placed behind an omnidirectional metal antenna intersecting at 90°. Three layers of such V-shaped plasma reflector is placed for electrical beam switching. The gain of this configuration has been optimized to reach up to 12 dBi and 14 dBi for different beam patterns, demonstrating significant performance improvement.
