    This work is a preliminary investigation of the possibility to excite a set of characteristic modes on a three dimensional object. The aim of this study is to provide guidelines for the excitation of characteristic modes on a complex platform in order to obtain a pattern reconfigurabl

    A metasurface (MS) based on loop elements operating in the near field of a linearly-polarized microstrip antenna is employed to realize a circularly polarized radiated field. The properties of the loop unit cell are highlighted with the help of the Characteristic Mode Analysis that is employed for investigating the achievable linear to circular polarization conversion bandwidth and providing the guidelines for the design of the final antenna. A finite structure comprising 4×4 unit cells is tailored for achieving a circularly polarized far field within the whole X-band adopted for satellite communications (7.25 GHz-7.75 GHz, 7.9 GHz-8.4 GHz). A simple but effective single-port excitation scheme is adopted, and the overall performance are assessed by measurements on the fabricated prototype. The good agreement between simulated and measured results confirms the reliability of the proposed approach as well as the meaningful insight provided by Characteristic Modes Theory

    A preliminary study concerning the possibility to exploit Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies for the fabrication of a transmitarray (TA) is addressed. More in detail, dielectric unit cells are tailored to alter the phase profile of a TA panel operating at 30 GHz

    Characteristic Modes Analysis of Non-Uniform Metasurface Superstrate for Nanosatellite Antenna Design

    This work addresses the use of the Characteristic Modes Analysis (CMA) for tailoring a Metasurface (MTS) in view of exploiting it in compact, low-profile, Circularly Polarized (CP) antennas. The investigated non-uniform MTS is exploited as a superstrate in the design of a novel compact and low-profile antenna for nanosatellite applications. The MTS consists of a 3 x 4 array of unequal patches arranged in a rectangular lattice. The antenna parameters are carefully tailored by using the CMA to achieve a significant performance enhancement with respect to a uniform MTS in terms of both Axial Ratio (AR) bandwidth and aperture efficiency. The reliability of the CMA approach is verified by assessing the overall performance of the whole radiating structure comprising the stripline feeding excitation. The proposed MTS antenna is compact (0.068 lambda0) provides a remarkable aperture efficiency going from 86 % up to 96 % and an AR coverage in the upper hemisphere greater than 84 % within the desired S-band (2.025 - 2.29 GHz)

    Multiple characteristic modes excitation for pattern reconfigurable antennas design

    The study of the Characteristic Modes (CMs) on a square conductive plane has been addressed to design a pattern reconfigurable antenna. More in detail, it is demonstrated that an efficient stimulation of suitable current modes distribution (Jn) by a proper placing of capacitive exciters over the square plate is able to provide a pattern reconfigurable capability. In particular, the positioning of the capacitive coupling exciters (CCEs) allows stimulating three current modes, whose modal excitation degree can be easily controlled. An appropriate phase shifting between the CCEs enables to control the modal excitation coefficient of the current modes, allowing the pattern reconfigurability
