Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper demonstrates a broadband metasurface antenna with stable gain. A 4 × 4 square patches metasurface loaded with nonuniform hexagonal slots is proposed. To achieve stable radiation performance in broadband range, two characteristic modes with the same current direction are selected as operating modes of the metasurface. A slot antenna is employed to excite the metasurface. By combining the resonant modes of metasurface and slot antenna, the broadband is obtained. The measured results show that, the −10 dB impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 4.36–8.21 GHz (61.2%), the 2 dB gain bandwidth is 4.36–7.2 GHz (49.1%), and the peak gain value reaches 10.6 dBi.
期刊介绍:
Publishing eight times per year, Electromagnetics offers refereed papers that span the entire broad field of electromagnetics and serves as an exceptional reference source of permanent archival value. Included in this wide ranging scope of materials are developments in electromagnetic theory, high frequency techniques, antennas and randomes, arrays, numerical techniques, scattering and diffraction, materials, and printed circuits. The journal also serves as a forum for deliberations on innovations in the field. Additionally, special issues give more in-depth coverage to topics of immediate importance.
All submitted manuscripts are subject to initial appraisal by the Editor, and, if found suitable for further consideration, to peer review by independent, anonymous expert referees. Submissions can be made via email or postal mail.
