MM-Wave Metamaterial Adjustable Antenna on Magnetically Biased Ferritic Substrate

الملخص EN

The paper presents a mm-wave metamaterial coplanar waveguide (CPW) zeroth-order resonating (ZOR) antenna on magnetically biased ferrite substrate.

The measurements demonstrate tuning of the resonant frequency and steering of the radiation characteristic depending on the strength of biasing magnetic field.

The resonant frequency shifts about 1.1 GHz for magnetic biasing field strength variation between 0 T and 0.265 T.

The return loss is reduced as result of elimination of ferrite low field loss.

The radiation characteristic in transversal plane steers between approximately −15° and +14° depending on the magnetic field strength.

In the magnetically unbiased state the antenna gain is 4.16 dBi and increases slightly to 4.22 dBi due to small field loss reduction following the magnetic polarization application.
