ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED BEAM-STEERING ANTENNA (DEMO)

摘要

A new type of electronically controlled beam-steering antenna has been experimentally demonstrated. The antenna architecture is different from that of conventional phased array antennas. The key element of the antenna is a semiconductor chip carrying an array of pixels that constitute a reconfigurable hologram. This W-band antenna is capable of continuously steering a beam or creating multiple beams in arbitrary directions. Samples of beam patterns are presented. We also provide a movie clip demonstrating antenna operation.
