Abstract: A method of using a non-reciprocal spatially-fed antenna for wireless communication includes: receiving, by the non-reciprocal spatially-fed antenna, a first wireless signal from a base station in a first beam direction; transmitting, by the non-reciprocal spatially-fed antenna, the first wireless signal in a second beam direction; receiving, by the non-reciprocal spatially-fed antenna, a second wireless signal in a third beam direction; and transmitting, by the non-reciprocal spatially-fed antenna, the second wireless signal in a fourth beam direction toward the base station. A non-reciprocal surface and an antenna array are also described.

Abstract: Embodiments of the invention may present a full-duplex nonreciprocal-beam-steering transmissive phase-gradient meta-surface. The metasurface may comprise a conductor layer interposed between two dielectric layers. Each of the dielectric layers may comprise a plurality of unit-cells embedded therein. Each of the unit-cell may comprise phase shifters and antenna elements. The meta-surface may function such that when an electromagnetic wave is received at the surface of the metasurface, the metasurface may transmit a wave having a similar or identical frequency to the frequency of the received wave but to a different direction in space.
