PHASED ARRAY ANTENNA WITH METASTRUCTURE FOR INCREASED ANGULAR COVERAGE
The disclosed structures and methods are directed to antenna systems configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal in and from different directions. An antenna for transmission of electromagnetic (EM) waves comprises a phased array and a metastructure. The phased array has radiated elements configured to radiate the EM waves. The metastructure is located at a phased array distance from the phased array to receive the EM waves at the first angle and to transmit the EM waves at a second angle, the second angle being larger than the first angle. The metastructure comprises three impedance layers arranged in parallel to each other and each impedance layer comprising a plurality of metallization elements. Each metallization element has a first dipole and a pair of first capacitance arms located on each end of the first dipole approximately perpendicular to the first dipole.
SWITCHABLE LENS ANTENNA WITH INTEGRATED FREQUENCY SELECTIVE STRUCTURE
The disclosed structures and methods are directed to antenna systems configured to transmit and receive a wireless signal in and from different directions. A switchable lens antenna has excitation ports radiating radio-frequency (RF) wave into a parallel-plate waveguide structure, and a frequency selective structure (FSS). The antenna presented herein is configured to operate in two modes depending on an initial steering angle of the RF wave propagating in the parallel-plate waveguide structure. When the initial steering angle is about or less than a threshold steering angle, FSS is OFF due to its stubs being electrically disconnected from the parallel-plate waveguide structure. When the initial steering angle is higher than the threshold, FSS is ON with stubs being electrically connected to the parallel-plate waveguide structure. When ON, FSS provides phase variance to the RF wave propagating in the parallel-plate waveguide structure and increases steering angle of the RF wave.
