A dielectric free near field phase transforming structure for wideband gain enhancement of antennas

Abstract The gain of some aperture antennas can be significantly increased by making the antenna near-field phase distribution more uniform, using a phase-transformation structure. A novel dielectric-free phase transforming structure (DF-PTS) is presented in this paper for this purpose, and its abil...
