description This work focuses on analysis, design and optimization of broadband reflectarray antenna elements embedded on organic substrate materials. It addresses the key limitations of microstrip reflectarray antenna technology i.e., narrow bandwidth and high loss performance. It presents a novel dual resonance element with wide phase range and broadband frequency response for X-band reflectarray antenna. Multiple element design schemes have been simulated and analyzed for the identification of strategic element configurations using CST MWSV15. Three different paper substrate materials with controlled material compositions have been characterized using a broadband characterization technique. The characterization results demonstrated low permittivities of 1.81, 1.63 and 1.84 for the proposed dielectric substrates, along with loss tangents of 0.053, 0.048 and 0.057 respectively. Three different types of element configurations; rectangular, double C – Slot and double U – Slot were simulated over proposed paper substrate materials and fabricated using an adhesive copper tape.
