As the radius increases, the size of the second artificial hole corresponding to the radius decreases and is the same. The second manhole structure at the radius is of the same volume.
- the medium filled in the first artificial hole structure and the second artificial hole structure is air. It is conceivable that when the refractive index of the filling medium in the first artificial hole structure or the second artificial hole structure is larger than the refractive index of the substrate, each The volume of the artificial hole may be opposite to the above arrangement.
- the shape of the artificial hole structure satisfying the refractive index distribution requirements of the first metamaterial panel and the second metamaterial panel described above is not limited as long as the volume of the base unit of the metamaterial occupied by the above is satisfied.
- a plurality of artificial hole structures of the same volume may be formed in each of the metamaterial base units, and it is necessary to make the sum of all the artificial hole volumes on each of the metamaterial base units satisfy the above arrangement rule.

Abstract
L'invention concerne une antenne à micro-ondes à alimentation décalée comprenant une source de rayonnement, un premier panneau de métamatériau et un panneau réfléchissant fixé sur l'arrière du premier panneau de métamatériau. Une onde électromagnétique sphérique émise par la source de rayonnement est réfractée par le biais du premier panneau de métamatériau, réfléchie par le panneau réfléchissant et de nouveau réfractée par le biais du premier panneau de métamatériau, puis finalement transmise vers l'extérieur sous la forme d'une onde électromagnétique plane. L'utilisation par la présente invention du principe de métamatériau pour la fabrication de l'antenne permet à l'antenne d'échapper aux restrictions concernant la forme de la lentille, traditionnellement concave, convexe ou parabolique. La présente invention permet d'obtenir une antenne présentant une forme de panneau ou toute autre forme souhaitée et de réduire l'épaisseur et la taille, de faciliter le traitement et la fabrication et de présenter des avantages comme la réduction des coûts et l'amélioration de l'effet de gain.
