A communication device for controlling a beam in a wireless communication system and a method therefor are provided. The communication device includes a lens including at least one layer in which unit cells are disposed, at least one processor configured to determine a beam pattern and control capacitance of each of the unit cells based on the beam pattern, and a transceiver for transmitting a signal in the determined beam pattern through the lens, which is capacitance-controlled. Each unit cell includes a first conductive member, a second conductive member overlapping at least a portion of the first conductive member, and spaced apart from the first conductive member, and a dielectric interposed between the overlapped portions of the first conductive member and the second conductive member. An overlap region of the first and second conductive members is arranged in a direction shielded from an external electromagnetic wave.

A planar antenna with an integrated receiver based on aperture coupled antenna elements with inclusive slots electrically coupled to a microstrip feed network residing above a lower ground plane is disclosed. The use of aperture coupled feed elements eliminate the need for vias, which simplifies fabrication. Further, the antenna has integrated electronics located on the same layer as the microstrip feed network to minimize any noise or unwanted parasitic effects.

A polarizing beam splitter includes thin electrically conductive metal sheets each having an edge and a thickness substantially less than the wavelength of a terahertz signal. The sheets are arranged in a stack or array to define wave propagation passages for energy of a terahertz beam directed at a face formed by edges of the sheets, and constitutes an artificial dielectric which operates below cutoff to allow selective transmission through the passages and/or reflection from said face, separating polarization states of the beam with defined power splitting. The artificial dielectric beam splitter can be configured to operate over a broad terahertz band. The sheets are flat, without micropatterned surface features, are robust and simple to manufacture, and form a broad band polarizing beam slitter for terahertz radiation. Complete separation of the transmitted and reflected beam is achieved below cutoff by rotating the polarization of the input beam.

Systems and methods are provided for enhancing the electrical performance of ultra-wideband (UWB) electronically scanned arrays (ESA) for use in multifunctional, electronic warfare, communications, radar, and sensing systems. Embodiments of the present disclosure provide designed metal and dielectric elements placed above the arbitrary radiator (i.e., in the superstrate region) to simultaneously aid impedance and polarization challenges. These elements can be compatible with arbitrary antenna element types.

A wireless device using a radiating system able to operate in more than one communication system features compact dimensions and comprises a radiating structure that contains a compact booster arrangement that comprises first and second boosters, arranged in a configuration such that the boosters are not concatenated between them, i.e., not being placed one next to each other. One of the boosters comprises a slot or a gap in a ground plane layer and another of the boosters comprises at least a conductive part or element connected at a point to an additional conductive element that comprises a feeding point. The radiating structure also comprises the ground plane layer and a radiofrequency system. The radiating system also comprises one or two ports, each providing operation at least at one of the communication systems of operation.

An electromagnetic energy absorber comprising a thin electrically-conductive ground plane as a base. Dielectric layers are positioned over the ground plane and high impedance surface (HIS) as a top layer. The impedance layer can be formed by loading the lumped resistor to a metallic grating like an FSS (Frequency Selective Surface). An air-spacer between the substrates has replaced the problem of the large electrical thickness of the substrate with effective permittivity. Metamaterial structures enable control over the resonant frequencies, and performance is enhanced over a broad frequency band. In addition, two broadband reflective-type linear to orthogonal polarization converters are disclosed that provide improved bandwidth and angular stability performance.
