AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing digital control antennas are difficult to achieve independent adjustment of beam and polarization simultaneously, and they also suffer from problems such as large size, high cost, and limited radiation controllability.

Method used

An antenna with digitally adjustable radiation characteristics was designed. It employs an electromagnetic metasurface, a metal ground plane, and an F4BM dielectric substrate. Combined with a digital phase control phase shifter, a digitally polarized dual-slot feed structure, and a PIN diode DC bias circuit, it achieves independent adjustment of polarization and phase. Through a half-wavelength phase delay microstrip line and a dual-slot feed structure, the antenna is miniaturized and reduced in cost.

Benefits of technology

It enables flexible modulation of beam switching scanning and radiated waves, reduces antenna size and cost, expands multi-beam dynamic coverage capabilities, and is suitable for smart IoT and 5G/6G systems.
