Title: Muhammad S. Rabbani and Metamaterial-Enabled Beam Scanning Antennas.
Introduction
Muhammad S. Rabbani is an inventor associated with the University of Birmingham in Birmingham, United Kingdom. His patent work includes an antenna design that uses metamaterials and mechanical adjustment to steer radio-frequency beams.
Latest Patents
Rabbani is associated with 1 patent, titled “Metamaterial-Enabled Beam Scanning Antenna.” The invention describes a leaky-wave antenna built from two metasurfaces, each comprising a dielectric substrate and an array of conductive elements, arranged with a conductive ground plane. A micro-actuator adjusts the spacing between the ground plane and the first metasurface, while a feed between the metasurfaces contains a pair of switchable dipoles. Selectively energizing the dipoles and adjusting the spacing enables the antenna to steer its beam across a wide range.
Career Highlights
The antenna design combines electrical switching with mechanical adjustment to provide beam steering. Its layered metasurface structure and micro-actuator offer a way to control the antenna’s radiation direction.
Collaborations
Rabbani’s listed collaborators include Alexandros Feresidis and James Churm. The patent reflects work connected with the University of Birmingham.
Conclusion
Muhammad S. Rabbani’s patent describes a beam-scanning antenna that combines metasurfaces, switchable dipoles, and adjustable spacing to steer its beam.
