An antenna arrangement having a stacked layered structure. The antenna arrangement includes a radiation layer including one or more radiation elements, and a distribution layer facing the radiation layer. The distribution layer is arranged to distribute a radio frequency signal to the one or more radiation elements. The distribution layer includes at least one distribution layer feed. Any of the distribution layer and the radiation layer includes a first electromagnetic bandgap, EBG, structure arranged to form at least one first waveguide intermediate the distribution layer and the radiation layer. The first EBG structure is arranged to prevent electromagnetic radiation in a frequency band of operation from propagating from the first waveguide in directions other than through the distribution layer feed and the one or more radiation elements. The radiation layer and the distribution layer are attached to each other with one or more fastening members including respective deformable tails.

A frequency tunable dielectric apparatus applied to building components is disclosed, which is used to increase the transmittance and the transmission bandwidth of signals. The dielectric apparatus includes a structural body, a frequency-tuning component, and a positioning component. The structural body is formed of a dielectric material with an equivalent dielectric constant value ranging from more than 1 to less than 200000. The structural body is coupled to the target component by the positioning component to form a composite structure. The minimum equivalent diameter of the dielectric structure corresponding to the composite structure on the projected area of the surface through which the RF signal passes on the surface of the target component is not less than one-eighth of the working wavelength. By changing the spacing, the dielectric apparatus may be used to tune the working frequency and enhance the transmittance and transmission bandwidth.

The disclosure provides an electromagnetic wave adjusting device, including a first substrate, a first conductive element, a second substrate, a second conductive element, and a dielectric layer. The first conductive element is disposed on the first substrate. The second substrate is opposite to the first substrate. The second conductive element is disposed on the second substrate and faces the first substrate, in which the first conductive element has an overlapping region which overlaps the second conductive element. The dielectric layer is disposed between the first substrate and the second substrate. The electromagnetic wave adjusting device includes a working region and a non-working region. The working region includes the overlapping region. The non-working region is disposed outside the working region. A first region in the non-working region and a second region in the working region have the same film-layer stack structure.

Base station antennas include an externally accessible active antenna module releasably coupled to a recessed segment that is over a chamber in the base station antenna and that is longitudinally and laterally extending along and across a rear of a base station antenna housing. The base station antenna housing has a passive antenna assembly that cooperates with the active antenna module.

A unit cell can be used for a metasurface, metamaterial, or beamforming antenna. The unit cell includes a metal layer attached to a substrate. The metal layer defines an iris opening for the unit cell. One or more tunable capacitance devices are positioned within or across the iris opening. Each tunable capacitance device is to tune resonance frequency of the unit cell. Mass transfer technologies or self-assembly processes may be used to position the tunable capacitance devices.

An antenna device suppresses reflection of electromagnetic waves from a human body or other conductors, which causes the electromagnetic waves to be sufficiently emitted in a target direction. The antenna device includes an antenna pattern and a metasurface layer. The metasurface layer is a layer that is layered on the antenna pattern and disposed on the human body side. The metasurface layer includes a first low-loss film and a second low-loss film. A first metasurface is formed on the first low-loss film. A second metasurface is formed on the second low-loss firm.

A method for producing an optical element having a main body with a first side surface, which has a first optical coating, and at least one second side surface, which is not plane-parallel to the first side surface and has a second optical coating, is proposed. The method includes the steps of: determining the stress induced in the optical element by the first optical coating of the first side surface; determining a counter-stress, so that the resultant overall stress induced in the optical element is as small as possible; determining the second optical coating while taking into account the determined counter-stress and the optical parameters of the second optical coating; applying the first optical coating on the first side surface; and, applying the second optical coating on the at least one second side surface.
