Abstract
Photonically steered impedance surface antennas are disclosed. A disclosed example apparatus includes a semiconductor substrate to be communicatively coupled to a radio frequency (RF) source, an at least partially transparent dielectric layer, the semiconductor substrate at a first side of the at least partially transparent dielectric layer, an at least partially transparent conductive film at a second side of the at least partially transparent dielectric layer that is opposite the first side of the at least partially transparent dielectric layer, and an illumination source to illuminate at least a portion of the semiconductor substrate to generate a photoinduced solid-state plasma pattern that beam steers an RF signal corresponding to the RF source.
