Printable metamaterial RF lenses for broadband satellite antenna applications
FY 2019-20 · 2020-03-06
Summary
The proposed project will address printable technology to implement metamaterial based RF lenses to enhance the performance of antennas used in broadband satellite communications systems. Composite Right-Hand Left-Hand Transmission Lines (CRHLH) will be used to add re-configurability to the proposed lenses. New printable technologies making use of electrically smart materials based on ferro-electric and ferro-magnetic printable inks are proposed.
The RF lenses will add additional layers of control to the antenna by re-shaping the radiation pattern while adding agility against operational and environmental conditions.

Description (French)
Le projet vise à appliquer les nouvelles techniques d’impression 3D à la fabrication de lentilles RF à base de métamatériaux pour améliorer les performances des antennes utilisées dans les systèmes de communication satellite large bande. Des lignes de transmission composites droitières et gauchères (CRHLH) seront utilisées pour rendre reconfigurables les lentilles proposées. De nouvelles techniques d’impression faisant usage de matériaux présentant des propriétés électriques avancées à base d’encres ferroélectriques et ferromagnétiques sont proposées.
Ces lentilles RF permettront d’ajouter plusieurs niveaux de contrôle aux antennes en remodelant leur diagramme de radiation tout en les rendant plus adaptables aux conditions opérationnelles et environnementales.
Expected Results
In the short term, anticipated outcomes will be strengthened collaborations across industry, academia, and government to support research excellence. In the medium term, anticipated outcomes will be the development of new and potentially disruptive technologies with collaborators. In the long term, find collaborative solutions to public policy challenges and create stronger innovation systems.
Expected Results (French)
À court terme, les résultats prévus seront des collaborations renforcées entre l'industrie, le milieu universitaire et le gouvernement pour soutenir l'excellence en recherche. À moyen terme, les résultats attendus seront le développement de nouvelles technologies potentiellement perturbatrices avec des collaborateurs. À long terme, trouver des solutions collaboratives aux défis des politiques publiques et créer des systèmes d'innovation plus solides.
