Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
We propose a metasurface (MTS) structure integrated at the aperture of a flanged rectangular waveguide to produce dual-beam radiation. The dual beams are antiparallel in an orientation and perpendicular to the boresight direction. The MTS is backed by a dielectric slab to produce a substrate integrated waveguide-like response above the flange. The MTS is engineered to limit the boresight emission from the waveguide aperture, as well as to allow symmetric wave splitting between the MTS and waveguide flange. A lens-like end texturing involving surface tapering and electromagnetic bandgap cells is utilized to enhance the beam directivity at endfire from the flange. The dual-beam radiation exists for all frequencies between 10.5 and 12.4 GHz. The proposed design is modeled via full-wave simulation in commercial software, then validated through the measurement of a fabricated prototype.
