Three metasurfaces (MTS) are designed to be combined with a series end-fed 1 × 10 array antenna with a modified Dolph-Chebyshev distribution for imaging applications in the millimeter frequency range, 24.05-24.25 GHz. A reduction in secondary lobes and an increase in FTBR can be achieved while preserving gain, radiation efficiency, SLL and size using an MTS-array combination. Moreover, as a result of each single-layer MTS-array combination, operation bandwidth is widened, with gain and radiation efficiency enhancement. The overall devices' size is 86.8 × 12 × 0.762 mm. The envisioned application is collision avoidance in aid to visually impaired people at a medium-long distance.
设计了三种超表面(MTS),将其与具有改进的多尔夫-切比雪夫分布的串联端馈1×10阵列天线相结合,用于24.05-24.25GHz毫米波频率范围内的成像应用。使用MTS-阵列组合,可以在保持增益、辐射效率、旁瓣电平(SLL)和尺寸的同时,实现旁瓣的降低和前后比(FTBR)的增加。此外,由于每个单层MTS-阵列组合,工作带宽得以拓宽,增益和辐射效率得到提高。整个器件的尺寸为86.8×12×0.762mm。设想的应用是在中长距离辅助视障人士进行碰撞避免。
