REDIRECTING STRUCTURE FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18338979 titled 'REDIRECTING STRUCTURE FOR ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a structure for redirecting electromagnetic waves.
- The structure consists of multiple layers, including a conductive element, a conductive substrate, and a dielectric substrate.
- The dielectric substrate forms a wave guide for the electromagnetic waves to propagate.
- An antenna element is positioned at the edge of the structure, where the waves enter the wave guide.
- The structure also includes dielectric cavities placed at a specific distance from the interface.
- The cavities extend through the conductive substrate in a direction away from the dielectric substrate.
- The purpose of the structure is to redirect the electromagnetic waves in a desired direction.
Original Abstract Submitted
A redirection structure for electromagnetic waves includes a multilayer structure and at least one antenna element. The multilayer structure includes a first conductive element, a conductive substrate, and a dielectric substrate arranged between the first conductive element and the conductive substrate and forming a wave guide. The antenna element is arranged adjacent an edge of the multilayer structure at an interface, the electromagnetic waves at least partially propagating in the wave guide along a first direction. The redirection structure further includes at least one dielectric cavity arranged at a predefined distance from the interface along the first direction. The dielectric cavity extends in a second direction away from the dielectric substrate at least partially through the conductive substrate.
