The Matrix Pixelated Printed Antennas
摘要
The chapter introduces an innovative category of wideband patch antennas utilizing QR codes that incorporate metamaterial cells as distinct markers. The word “antenna” was used as an example to illustrate the generation of the QR code. This research investigated various design strategies, with particular attention to different configurations and parameters of the metamaterial cells. Due to the intricate nature of describing how antennas with non-Euclidean geometries interact with radio waves, numerical modeling techniques were employed for the analysis. The proposed antennas were assessed and compared based on their amplitude-frequency response, voltage standing wave ratio, and return loss. To broaden the frequency range of the synthesized antennas, split square markers, which are components of the QR code, were incorporated.
