Title: Modal-Expansion Analysis and Design of Metasurface-Loaded Body-of-Revolution Antennas

Abstract: In this talk, we present our recent works on the modal expansion analysis of various types of metasurface-loaded antennas, including wire, patch, and cavity radiators. The modeling approximation, field expression derivation, and numerical results will be illustrated. Such methods can yield accurate results yet with greatly reduced computional time and consumed memory. Furthermore, novel antennas designed and optimized by the proposed semi-analytical method have been fabricated and experimentally verified, which confirms the validity of the proposed analysis method and shows the advantage of properly incorporating AISs in conventional antenna structures.
