Abstract
This disclosure relates generally to metasurface beam steering antenna and method of setting antenna beam angle. Conventional approaches perform electronically beam steering using phase array which requires bandwidth with higher data rates. The present disclosure enables metasurface antennas tilt antenna beam in a given direction, where the varactor diodes are operated in reverse bias so that different values of capacitors combination lead to electronic beam scanning. The processor of the metasurface beam steering antenna receives a command having an input angle to tilt the angle beam position. The processor processes the command by mapping the input angle with the set of c-shaped copper patch combination having the capacitor values using a predefined lookup table for setting the antenna beam angle based on a reference voltage generated by the varactor diode. The lookup table is iteratively updated with the capacitor values of the c-shaped copper patches.
