摘要
In this article, we demonstrate that a circular advanced short backfire antenna (A-SBFA) can be optimized for high single- or dual-band aperture efficiency over a range of different aperture sizes. Optimization methods developed previously to utilize anisotropic, dispersive metasurfaces on the cavity walls of the hexagonal A-SBFA are modified and applied to achieve 100% aperture efficiency at two frequency bands for circular aperture diameters spanning a remarkably large range from 1.0 lambda(0) up to 2.13 lambda(0). Furthermore, a single-frequency optimization was able to achieve a design with 100% aperture efficiency for an A-SBFA with a diameter of 2.6 lambda(0), the highest known achievable efficiency for an antenna of its aperture size, and overall height. Finally, simulations revealed the first compact hard horn or open-ended waveguide design with close to 100% aperture efficiency below 1.6 lambda(0).
