Abstract :
This document presents insights on new generation multilayer `Tile´ phased array antennas with inclusion of metamaterial structures interacting with electromagnetic wave propagation in order to improve radiating performance of the antenna (reduction/mitigation of `blindness´ phenomenon, reduction of side and back radiation), and frequency agility by optical control.
