Abstract

In this report, we present a Huygens' metasurface enclosed artificial dielectric medium built from equispaced conductive rods that enhances directive and steerable radiation. The enclosing metasurface is built from sufficiently spaced simplified Huygens' sources arranged around the enclosure's periphery. The simulation results show that the radiation characteristics of this device is similar to what is achievable from a microstrip patch array of similar aperture size. Hence, through the proposed antenna, we have achieved a many-fold reduction in cost especially in the mm-wave regime where component cost for the necessary phase modulating circuit becomes of great consideration.
