Title:
LIQUID-CRYSTAL RECONFIGURABLE METASURFACE REFLECTOR ANTENNA
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2018/072627
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
A reflector antenna that includes a feed for generating a radio frequency (RF) signal, and a metasurface reflector for reflecting the RF signal originating from the feed. The metasurface reflector includes an array of cells each having a volume of liquid crystal with a controllable dielectric value enabling a reflection phase of the cells to be selectively tuned to effect beam steering of the reflected RF signal.
