A small antenna operating at a plurality of frequency bands includes a first conductor plane in which a first split ring resonator and a second split ring resonator that have different resonant frequencies are formed and a feed line including a first branch line, a second branch line and a branch portion. Each of the split ring resonators includes a conductor region along an opening edge of an opening formed in the first conductor plane and a split portion cutting through a portion of the conductor region. One end of the first branch line is connected to the first split ring resonator and the other end extends to the branch portion across the conductor region; one end of the second branch line is connected to the second split ring resonator and the other end extends to the branch portion across the conductor region.
Abstract:
A reconfigurable holographic antenna and a method of shaping an antenna beam pattern of a reconfigurable holographic antenna is disclosed. A baseline holographic pattern is driven onto a reconfigurable layer of the reconfigurable holographic antenna while a feed wave excites the reconfigurable layer. An antenna pattern metric representative of a baseline antenna pattern is received. The baseline antenna pattern is generated by the reconfigurable holographic antenna while the baseline holographic pattern is driven onto the reconfigurable layer. A modified holographic pattern is generated in response to the antenna pattern metric. The modified holographic pattern is driven onto the reconfigurable layer of the reconfigurable holographic antenna to generate an improved antenna pattern.
Abstract:
An optical metapolarizer device polarizes light while mitigating the absorptive or reflective losses associated with traditional polarizers. The metapolarizer device transmits light of one polarity and rotates the other polarity so that it is closer to the transmitted polarity. As a result, although the light exiting the metapolarizer device is highly polarized, the total transmissivity of the device can be well in excess of 50%, and can approach 100% in the theoretical limit.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for modifying an electromagnetic beam. A metamaterial structure is positioned relative to a transmitting device such that an electromagnetic beam transmitted by the transmitting device passes through the metamaterial structure. The electromagnetic beam has a wavefront with a Gaussian intensity profile. The wavefront of the electromagnetic beam is modified as the electromagnetic beam passes through the metamaterial structure such that the Gaussian intensity profile of the wavefront is changed to a Bessel intensity profile.
