Anisotropic metamaterial gain-enhancing lens for antenna applications |
摘要 |
Examples of the present invention include metamaterials, including metamaterial lenses, having material properties that approximate the behavior of a material with low (0<n<1) effective index of refraction. Metamaterials may be designed and tuned using dispersion engineering to create a relatively wide-band low-index region. A low-index metamaterial lens created highly collimated beams in the far-field from a low-directivity antenna feed. |

1. An apparatus, the apparatus being a metamaterial lens having an operating frequency,
the metamaterial lens having lens faces, the lens faces being planar, parallel, and spaced apart by a lens thickness, the metamaterial lens including split-ring resonators arranged in resonator arrays, the resonator arrays being parallel to the lens faces, the metamaterial lens further including end-loaded dipoles arranged in end-loaded dipole arrays, the end-loaded dipole arrays being perpendicular to the lens faces. |
