Abstract

Cette invention concerne une antenne à hyperfréquences, comprenant un boîtier présentant une ouverture sur un côté, une source d'alimentation disposée sur un autre côté du boîtier et un premier métamatériau fermant l'ouverture du boîtier. Ladite source d'alimentation est disposée de manière coaxiale au premier métamatériau. Le premier métamatériau est constitué d'une pluralité de couches de feuilles de métamatériau présentant la même épaisseur et la même distribution de l'indice de réfraction. Chaque couche de premier métamatériau comprend un matériau de base et une pluralité de premières microstructures artificielles disposées de manière régulière sur le matériau de base. Selon l'invention, la distribution de l'indice de réfraction sur les couches de premier métamatériau est obtenue par un procédé de détermination de la phase initiale. Le procédé de calcul est programmé et codé de manière aisée. Après la génération d'un code, l'utilisateur a juste besoin de maîtriser le procédé d'utilisation du code, ce qui facilite la commercialisation de l'antenne auprès du grand public. De plus, la mise en œuvre du métamatériau permet de réduire l'épaisseur et le poids de l'antenne à hyperfréquences.
