Abstract: A low side-lobe dual-beam reflectarray antenna is proposed based on the sparse array principle. The reflected dual beams achieve high gain through optimized phase compensation, in which the transmissive elements act as dummy elements to suppress side lobes. A global search optimization technique based on genetic algorithm (GA) is adopted to improve the arrangement of transmissive and reflection elements. Since all the reflective and transmissive elements operating in the same wide frequency band are non-uniformly distributed on the aperture, both the backward radiation and cross polarization levels are effectively suppressed. The measurement results show that the side-lobe level of the dual-beams is less than -19 dB. The peak gain and peak aperture efficiency of the designed antenna are 26.0 dBi and 38.9%, respectively. The 3-dB gain bandwidth is 13.8%. The front to back ratio at 30 GHz is 27 dB. This dual-beam antenna has the advantages of high gain, low side lobes, and wide beam radiation range, which make it suitable for millimeter-wave multi-target radar detection systems.
