Three-Dimensional Broadband and Isotropic Double-Mesh Twin-Wire Media for Meta-Lenses

Abstract: Lenses are used for multiple applications, including communications, surveillance and security, and medical instruments. In homogeneous lenses, the contour is used to control the electromagnetic propagation. Differently, graded-index lenses make use of inhomogeneous materials, which is an extra degree of freedom. This extra degree of freedom enables the design of devices with a high performance. For instance, rotationally symmetric lenses without spherical aberrations, e.g., the Luneburg lens, can be designed.… Show more

“…It also relaxes interfaces and flanges design, leading to more compact designs with less or even no screws. Most of the developments that have been proposed to date are based on the use of polymers as a support material on which a metallic coating is subsequently applied to provide the component with conductivity [22] or on the use the polymer itself as a dielectric material [23]. Although this process is qualified for space applications, metal-only parts generally provide better mechanical properties and are preferred for on-board microwave systems.…”

“…In most cases, engineered periodic structures are arranged in a rectangular two-dimensional (2D) configuration [18], [19] or a simple cubic (sc) three-dimensional (3D) configuration [20], [21]. For 3D periodic structures, studies have explored configurations with symmetries.…”
