Abstract
ABSTRACT A new ultra-low profile reconfigurable multi-beam antenna is proposed. It is based on impedance modulated metasurface fed with a one-divide-four electronically controllable feed network. By properly arranging the feed network, six beams at different azimuth planes are formed by controlling four diodes. The gain is enhanced through loading a cross metal strip in the middle of metasurface. The results indicate that the realized antenna has dimensions of 126 mm × 126 mm × 4 mm (equal to 2.1λ0 ×2.1λ0 ×0.067λ0, λ0, wavelength at 5 GHz). Its −10-dB bandwidth is larger than 30.0% (4.28 GHz − 5.79 GHz) when diodes I-V are turned on successively. And it can radiate beams pointing to (0°, 33°), (20°, 44°), (150°, 36°), (180°, 35°). Furthermore, the beams can be steered to (0°, 43°) and (180°, 43°) in case that diodes I&II or III&IV are switched on simultaneously.
