Objective
In this proposal, a new class of artificial materials with prescribed electromagnetic properties, created to a custom design via topology optimization and advanced multimaterial fabrication technologies is proposed. These artificial materials, or meta-materials, are composites of dielectrics and magnetic oxides, combined to produce new electromagnetic property tensors and previously unobtainable figures of merit.
Unlike traditional antenna design approaches based on surface metallization (where an experienced antenna designer can bypass formal design tools), exploitation of novel engineered material volumes for antennas (and other RF applications) can only be realized with generalized design methodologies. Topology optimization is such a method and allows for novel material microstructure and topology designs from scratch.
The combination of powerful optimal design techniques with practical realization for specific applications, will serve as a general example for a new approach for creating designed metamaterials, useful for other functional materials. The new functionality of metamaterials will enable new technology for several microwave and millimeter wave applications. The focus in this work will be the design and fabrication of meta-materials for shrinking the size and increasing the functionality of antennas such as large bandwidth and high gain.
By reducing size and adding functionality to a radiator element, avenues will be opened for many new and practical phased array applications such as RF sensing, miniaturized transceivers and covert RF tags to mention a few. This in turn will lead to cheaper configurations for the much smaller and network-centric future systems.
