A Phased Array Antenna with New Elements Designed Using Source Transformations

Transformation electromagnetics/optics (TE/TO) has been shown to be a useful technique in designing electromagnetic devices with very unique properties. Here, the concepts of transformation optics for single elements is extended an array “pinwheel” shaped first time. Through full-wave finite element analysis (FEA), it that transformed linear can designed operate identically uniformly spaced dipole array. Thus, antenna will maintain all advantages processing simple The proposed method applications structurally integrated and conformal phased arrays wireless communications, radars, sensing where structural mechanical constrains do not align performance.
