Usually horn antennas are used for the measurement of metamaterials or Frequency selective surfaces. Can one use some kind of patch antenna instead?

The aperture of horn antennas is usually large. This creates problems of requiring more distance and room for far field measurements. Is there a way, we can use patch antennas or other...

How to calculate radius of a spherical wavefront of antenna at a particular distance?

For directive antennas, a wave front will propagate as spherical form at shorter distances, and as the propagation distance increases, its wavefront radius will get bigger. so at any particular...

When measuring transmission parameters for metasurface, what should be the distance between the two horn antennas to have a far field illumination.?

In a generic setup, where metasurface is placed between the two antennas, what should be the minimum distance between the two antennas for accurate measurements: preferably in far field.?

What is the criteria for claiming whether a metasurface is ultra thin?

I have designed a metasurface which has a thickness of 0.78mm. Its operating frequency is around 15 GHz. Can I call it ultra thin?. In terms of lamda, the thickness of metasurface is lamda/23

SIW power divider after fabrication not giving desired results.(explained in description). What can be the reason?

A friend of mine is currently working on designing a SIW based power divider. The frequency range is 27-29 GHz. The simulations show the required response in the above mentioned band but I am...
