Abstract: The present invention relates to a man-made composite material. The man-made composite material is divided into a plurality of regions. A plane electromagnetic wave is incident on a first surface and exits in the form of a spherical wave from a second surface of the man-made composite material opposite to the first surface. Reverse extensions of the exiting electromagnetic wave intersect with each other at a virtual focus of the man-made composite material. A line connecting the virtual focus to a point on the top surface of the ith region and a line perpendicular to the man-made composite material form an angle θ therebetween, which uniquely corresponds to a curved surface in the ith region. A set formed by points on the top surface of the ith region that have the same angle θ forms a boundary of the curved surface to which the angle θ uniquely corresponds.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an antenna based on a metamaterial and a method for generating an operating wavelength of a metamaterial panel. The antenna comprises a radiation source, and a metamaterial panel capable of converging an electromagnetic wave and operating at a first wavelength. The metamaterial panel is adapted to convert the electromagnetic wave radiated from the radiation source into a plane wave and to enable the antenna to simultaneously operate at a second wavelength and a third wavelength which are smaller than the first wavelength and are different multiples of the first wavelength. The present invention further provides a method for generating an operating wavelength of a metamaterial panel for use in the aforesaid antenna. These improve the convergence performance and reduce the volume and size of the antenna.

Abstract: Disclosed is a Cassegrain microwave antenna, which comprises a radiation source, a first metamaterial panel used for radiating an electromagnetic wave emitted by the radiation source, and a second metamaterial panel having an electromagnetic wave convergence feature and used for converting into plane wave the electromagnetic wave radiated by the first metamaterial panel. Employment of the principle of metamaterial for manufacturing the antenna allows the antenna to break away from restrictions of conventional concave lens shape, convex lens shape, and parabolic shape, thereby allowing the shape of the Cassegrain microwave antenna to be panel-shaped or any shape as desired, while allowing for reduced thickness, reduced size, and facilitated processing and manufacturing, thus providing beneficial effects of reduced costs and improved gain effect.
