In this study, we verify the modeling of a passive Huygens metasurface dome surrounding a pre-existing patch antenna to manipulate and focus the beam emitted by the antenna itself. Specifically, we showcase a successful method of semi-circular array pattern synthesis to model the meta-dome. This involves carefully discretizing and engineering the phase profile along the dome while considering the actual incident field generated by the antenna. Two practical examples of semi-circular passive meta-dome are proposed.

Abstract
In this study, we verify the modeling of a passive Huygens metasurface dome surrounding a pre-existing patch antenna to manipulate and focus the beam emitted by the antenna itself. Specifically, we showcase a successful method of semi-circular array pattern synthesis to model the meta-dome. This involves carefully discretizing and engineering the phase profile along the dome while considering the actual incident field generated by the antenna. Two practical examples of semi-circular passive meta-dome are proposed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
