Abstract
Conventional dual-frequency beam steering surface (DF-BSS) can only adjust frequency ratio (FR) in a narrow range, and this letter presents a novel design concept for transmitting-type DF-BSS to broaden it. To reach this target, by utilizing two methods (choosing different resonant modes of the patch and adjusting the positions of loaded pins), the FR can be adjusted from 1.49 to 3.50. Based on mode excitation and inhibition theory, by placing the equivalent feeding ports at proper positions, the higher frequency ($f_{H}$) and the lower frequency ($f_{L}$) can work separately. To verify our design concept, two DF-BSS cases (Case Ⅰ: $f_{H}$ = 11.1 GHz, $f_{L}$ = 7.43 GHz, FR = 1.49; Case Ⅱ: $f_{H}$ = 16.8 GHz, $f_{L}$ = 4.8 GHz, FR = 3.5) with different beam steering angles are fabricated and measured. The bandwidths of the two cases both exceed 1.4%. The good agreements between measured results and expectations show the great potential of the proposed DF-BSS in rebuilding the propagating paths for electromagnetic waves.
期刊介绍:
IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWP Letters) is devoted to the rapid electronic publication of short manuscripts in the technical areas of Antennas and Wireless Propagation. These are areas of competence for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S). AWPL aims to be one of the "fastest" journals among IEEE publications. This means that for papers that are eventually accepted, it is intended that an author may expect his or her paper to appear in IEEE Xplore, on average, around two months after submission.
