Abstract

This article reviews and expands the use of artificial impedance surfaces (AISs), which do not exist in nature but can be synthesized, as ground planes for radiating elements, and in particular, dipoles and loops. It then illustrates that when such surfaces are incorporated with radiating elements, they can enhance the radiation’s characteristics, such as reflection coefficient, gain, realized gain, and pattern symmetry. This is accomplished by the proper design of the metasurface, leading to the enhancement of the radiating elements’ impedance matching, suppression of ground plane surface waves, and reduction of ground plane edge diffractions. These improvements are achieved only over a band-limited frequency range.

天线技术的演变：人造阻抗面

本文综述并扩展了在自然界中不存在但可以合成的人工阻抗面（ais）作为辐射元件的接地面，特别是偶极子和环路的应用。然后说明，当这些表面与辐射元件结合时，它们可以增强辐射的特性，如反射系数，增益，实现增益和图案对称性。通过对超表面的合理设计，增强了辐射元件的阻抗匹配，抑制了地平面表面波，减小了地平面边缘衍射。这些改进只能在频带有限的频率范围内实现。

期刊介绍： IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine actively solicits feature articles that describe engineering activities taking place in industry, government, and universities. All feature articles are subject to peer review. Emphasis is placed on providing the reader with a general understanding of either a particular subject or of the technical challenges being addressed by various organizations, as well as their capabilities to cope with these challenges. Articles presenting new results, review, tutorial, and historical articles are welcome, as are articles describing examples of good engineering. The technical field of interest of the Magazine is the same as the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, and includes the following: antennas, including analysis, design, development, measurement, and testing; radiation, propagation, and the interaction of electromagnetic waves with discrete and continuous media; and applications and systems pertinent to antennas, propagation, and sensing, such as applied optics, millimeter- and sub-millimeter-wave techniques, antenna signal processing and control, radio astronomy, and propagation and radiation aspects of terrestrial and space-based communication, including wireless, mobile, satellite, and telecommunications.
