Abstract

This paper aimed to show the design and performances of a flat superstrate placed above an L-band patch antenna. Obtained from the Transformation Electromagnetics technique, this superstrate enables to produce an antipodal radiation with a quasi-null radiation in the broadside direction. From the analytical transformations used for the calculation of the constitutive parameters, material permittivity and permeability profiles of the superstrate are deduced. Then, the field distribution and radiation patterns of the whole structure confirm the antipodal radiation behavior.
