The invention discloses a conformal holographic metasurface antenna based on a double-layer cross embedded
tensor unit, and aims to solve the problem of low
surface wave-leaky wave conversion efficiency caused by inherent restriction of
surface impedance modulation depth M and average impedance amplitude X of a traditional single-layer holographic metasurface antenna. An upper-layer and lower-layer cross-shaped groove
patch array cross embedded topological structure is adopted, the
vertical projection of a lower-layer unit is embedded into a gap region of an upper-layer unit, and the
surface impedance dynamic modulation range is expanded under the sub-
wavelength unit size by enhancing interlayer
coupling, so that the leakage constant alpha is improved. On the basis of a holographic interference principle,
surface impedance tensor modulation is realized by regulating and controlling geometric parameters of a unit, and a linearly polarized
surface wave excited by a central feed source is efficiently converted into a right-handed
circular polarization (RHCP) leakage wave beam with a specific angle at a
frequency band of 26 GHz; in combination with a conformal
mapping algorithm, the method is adaptive to a cylindrical surface with a curvature
radius rho of 20-60mm, and has aperture efficiency gt; 39%, and the
axial ratio is lt; 3dB, and the structure is compact.
