Wide-Scanning Circularly Polarized Reflector-Based Modulated Metasurface Antenna Enabled by a Broadband Polarizer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
A circularly polarized leaky-wave antenna capable of frequency scanning is proposed in this article. The main objective is to achieve high gain and polarization purity without the need for a complex feed network. The antenna consists of two independent modules: 1) anisotropic-modulated metasurface antenna (MoMetA) for generating vertically polarized radiation with an operational scanning range of 19°–47° in elevation and 2) wideband polarization converter with high angular stability and capable of converting vertically linear polarization into circular polarization (CP). The aperture field estimation (AFE) method is used to design the MoMetA with high accuracy in predicting far-field pattern without the need for full-wave simulations. The gain of antenna in the bandwidth of 16–21 GHz is obtained well than 18 dBic. Simulation results show that the axial ratio in the maximum gain direction is lower than 3 dB all over its operational frequency bandwidth, demonstrating the proper operation of polarizer. In order to verify the simulation results, one prototype of the antenna is fabricated and its radiation patterns are measured in an anechoic chamber.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
