Electromagnetic waves control for antennas applications

Spada, Luigi La; Hao, Yang

Abstract

Recently, great interest in controlling and manipulating electromagnetic wave propagation from microwave to optical frequencies, has been emerged. Artificial sheet materials with sub-wavelength thickness, meta-surfaces, have been applied to control wave propagation properties. However, there is no general procedure able to link all the main steps for meta-surfaces synthesis: modeling, design, and manufacturing. The aim of this paper is to develop a comprehensive and robust approach to characterize electromagnetic wave behavior over arbitrary curvilinear surfaces. To validate the proposed method, it will be used to design, manufacture, and experimentally verify a meta-surface based device for surface wave cloaking. The proposed structure is wideband, polarization independent, and easy to be scaled from microwave to higher frequencies, including optics.
