The utility model relates to the technical field of folded antennas, in particular to a metasurface folded antenna with
broadband wave
beam scanning capability, which comprises a reconfigurable metasurface, a polarization conversion metasurface and a
linear polarization feed source antenna, and is characterized in that the reconfigurable metasurface comprises a first
dielectric plate, a second
dielectric plate, a first
metal grating, a second
metal grating and a first metasurface; the polarization conversion metasurface comprises a third
dielectric plate and two second metasurfaces, the
linear polarization feed source antenna comprises a fourth
dielectric plate, a fifth
dielectric plate, a third metasurface, a fourth metasurface and a
metal bottom plate, and the metasurfaces convert spherical
waves emitted by an
antenna feed source into plane
waves through
phase compensation. According to the array antenna, a
plane wave is converted into a scannable low-SLL pencil-shaped
light beam, the contour of the array antenna is reduced by 2 / 3, a
simulation experiment test shows that + / -50-degree
beam scanning can be realized on an E surface and an H surface within the
broadband range of 8.1-11.3 GHz, the peak
gain is 17.8 dBi, the aperture efficiency is 14%, and the 3dB
gain bandwidth is greater than 30%.
