Abstract :
The purpose of this work is to investigate the use of the spatial filtering property of hyperbolically anisotropic metamaterials to achieve beam-steering.The present work employs the aforementioned concept in a fixed-frequency antenna array. The radiation beam angle is made tunable by varying the permeability tensor of the metamaterial on which the antenna is realized.
