Tunable graphene-based metasurface for an ultra-low sidelobe terahertz phased array antenna.
2021
In this paper, we propose an all-solid-state, electrically tunable, and reflective graphene metasurface array that can generate a specific phase or continuous scanning between 0° and 352.5° in the terahertz band. By optimizing the structural parameters of the metasurface, the average reflectivity can reach 68.3%, and the maximum reflectivity variation range is only 30%. We also simulate the results that an electrically tunable terahertz phased array can be achieved by adjusting the Fermi levels of a monolayer graphene resonator. The maximum deflection of the reflected beam is 46.05°, and the resolution can be improved to 1.10°. It should be noted that the sidelobe energy only accounts for 1.06% of the main lobe energy, due to the slight change in reflectivity with the phase gradient.
