Abstract
Intelligent reflective surfaces using single-bit PIN diodes are studied. The problem of the generation of the grating lobe upon normal incidence is introduced. Two conformal smart surfaces are proposed as possible solutions for mitigation of the grating lobe. Case studies are presented and evaluated for the verification of the proposed approach. Full-wave numerical simulations are performed to show the efficiency of the proposed conformal surface solution.
期刊介绍:
This journal establishes a dedicated channel for physicists, material scientists, chemists, engineers and computer scientists who are interested in photonics and nanostructures, and especially in research related to photonic crystals, photonic band gaps and metamaterials. The Journal sheds light on the latest developments in this growing field of science that will see the emergence of faster telecommunications and ultimately computers that use light instead of electrons to connect components.
