Abstract
A dual-band independently beam steering THz antenna is presented, which is composed of a broadband omnidirectional monopole source antenna surrounded by six hexagonal active frequency selective surface (AFSS) screens with switchable filtering response in two bands. By controlling the chemical potential from 0 eV to 0.5 eV, the AFSS screen can achieve the conversion between high transmission (ON state) and almost total reflection (OFF state) at two frequency ranges independently. Therefore, the radiation beams of the THz antenna in two bands can be steered from 360° large angle scanning and omnidirectional radiation with flexible combinations.
