    Topic 1:
    Metasurface lenses

    1.png

    Currently, the topic of metamaterials has been extensively researched, showcasing high potential across various fields such as optics, photonics, antennas, sensing, imaging, and spectroscopy. The concept of a hyperlens interface composed of two-dimensional periodic metallic patches has been proposed. Apart from synthesizing properties not readily available in nature, the hyperlens interface, as opposed to traditional lenses, offers cost reduction, space-saving benefits, and lightweight characteristics.
    This paper focuses on applying the Luneburg lens to surface wave antennas. However, in the foundational theoretical analysis, most discussions have overlooked the investigation of the propagation direction of waves concerning the dispersion relationship within periodic structures. Thus, this paper proposes an alternative periodic arrangement for synthesizing Luneburg lenses. Initially, considering the direction of wave propagation in the dispersion relationship analysis. Subsequently, by comparing two periodic arrangements, this theory is validated. Furthermore, leveraging aperture antenna characteristics to define the aperture of this antenna and evaluating its performance through various efficiency calculations for feature quantification purposes. Additionally, a novel synthesis method to enhance the performance of surface wave antennas will be introduced at the end of this paper.

    Topic 2:
    Holographic leaky-wave antennas 

     2.png

    The directional leaky-wave antenna, based on holographic theory, has undergone several years of development. It is designed to radiate a directive beam using the principles of holography. The antenna plane comprises a PCB board integrated with sub-wavelength metallic patches on its surface. Upon feeding a known surface wave, the antenna emits a pencil-shaped beam at the desired angle. Altering the arrangement of surface metallic patches results in variations in the radiation angle of the beam. Leveraging this characteristic, our aim is to further develop beam steering techniques, employing mechanical mechanisms such as rotational structures instead of active circuitry.
    In this paper, the antenna plane is segmented into multiple sections, each possessing its holographic surface. Portions not required for radiation are covered by metallic shielding, allowing only the exposed antenna segments to radiate. By rotating the metallic shielding, we can adjust the radiating segments, thereby altering the radiation angle to achieve beam steering effects.

    Topic 3:
    Analysis of grated/corrugated structures by asymptotic boundary conditions


    3.png

    The classic vector potential analysis method along with Asymptotic Strip Boundary Conditions (ASBC) are applied to handle conductive strip gratings enveloping a core dielectric cylindrical rod. Through periodic texturing of the surface, this structure demonstrates behaviors promoting strong surface field localization and wave propagation as plasma behavior. This allows its use as a cylindrical surface waveguide or antenna. It can also be configured to exhibit Electromagnetic Band Gap (EBG) characteristics, forming what is termed a cylindrical EBG structure.
    In contrast to the typical counterpart with a conductive core rod, the dielectric core is shown to be crucial for achieving a wide total band gap in this study, where neither slow surface waves nor fast spatial waves exist. This stands in contrast to the conductive core rod version, which only provides surface wave band gaps, neglecting suppression of fast spatial waves, as overlooked by many others in the literature.
    By coaxially connecting various such rod structures, each with its unique total band gap, multi-frequency, multi-functional cylindrical antennas are achieved. This mitigates inter-band interference even during concurrent operation when the passband of any rod falls within all other total band gaps, as investigated in this paper. Measurements on manufactured prototypes confirm experimental results align closely with theoretical predictions.
