Abstract

Research on mechanically beam-steering of horn antenna using non-uniform meta-surface is presented in this paper. After optimizing the layout of quasi-I-shaped unit cell, we designed a flexible bi-layer meta-surface that can bring a main beam deflection of 40°. When the meta-surface is sliding along the long side of horn antenna, the main beam can be steered accordingly in a range of ±40°. A mechanically radiation reconfigurable antenna is thus achieved by a simple structure. Sliding of the meta-surface relative to the horn can be realized by a motor-driven conveyor belt when the prototype is fabricated in the following research.
