Programmable antenna having a programmable substrate

摘要

An antenna circuit includes a substrate, an antenna, and a projected artificial magnetic mirror (PAMM). The antenna is fabricated on the substrate and is positioned in a region of the substrate that has a high permittivity. The PAMM produces an artificial magnetic conductor at a distance above a surface of the substrate to facilitate a radiation pattern for the antenna.

1. A circuit comprises:
a printed inductor; a printed antenna; and a substrate that supports the printed inductor in a first region of the substrate with non-magnetic metallodielectric inclusions and the printed antenna in a second region of the substrate with high permittivity metallodielectric inclusions, separate from the first region and wherein the substrate further includes a third region outside the first region and the second region, wherein the first region has a higher permeability relative to the third region and the second region has a higher permittivity relative to the third region.
