Reflect Array Using Multi Segment Circular Fractal Unit Cell With Isoflux Pattern For C-Band Application

In this paper with using novel fractal structure which is composed of multi segment circular fractal. A unit cell and then reflectarray antenna have been designed. The unit cell of reflect array has been designed in 4.4 GHz with 24*24*1 mm3 dimension. The reflectarray is consist of 400 (20* 20) elements that even element is placed in the locus has been calculated. Maximum gain of antenna is 12.9 dBi.
