Directional Metasurface Using Transistor-Loaded Circularly Polarized Antenna Elements

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This paper discusses the RF design of a compact metasurface that enables directional propagation characteristics. It allows for circularly-polarized waves to penetrate through its volume in one direction of propagation whereas it absorbs them in the reverse one. Directionality is achieved by combining two transistors with two circularly-polarized patch antennas in each unit cell of the metasurface. A compact multi-layer integration scheme is proposed and is demonstrated through electromagnetic (EM) simulations at S-band. The proposed metasurface configuration exhibits directional characteristics with the following performance metrics. BW in the forward direction: 3.4-3.7 GHz, maximum Gain in the forward direction: 29 dB, isolation in the reversed direction> 50 dB.
