Abstract: The present invention relates to a man-made composite material and a man-made composite material antenna. The man-made composite material is divided into a plurality of regions. An electromagnetic wave is incident on a first surface exits from a second surface of the man-made composite material opposite to the first surface. A line connecting a radiation source to a point on the bottom surface of the ith region and a line perpendicular to the man-made composite material form an angle ? therebetween, which uniquely corresponds to a curved surface in the ith region. A set formed by points on the bottom surface of the ith region that have the same angle ? forms a boundary of the curved surface to which the angle ? uniquely corresponds. The refraction, diffraction and reflection of the present invention at the abrupt transition points can be reduced.

Abstract: A front feed microwave antenna, which comprises a radiation source, a first metamaterial panel used for radiating an electromagnetic wave emitted by the radiation source, a second metamaterial panel, and a reflective panel affixed to the back of the first metamaterial panel. The electromagnetic wave is emitted via the first metamaterial panel, refracted by entering the second metamaterial panel, reflected by the reflective panel, and finally re-refracted by reentering the second metamaterial panel, then finally parallel-emitted. Employment of the principle of metamaterial for manufacturing the antenna allows the antenna to break away from restrictions of conventional concave lens shape, convex lens shape, and parabolic shape, thereby allowing the shape of the antenna to be panel-shaped or any shape as desired, while allowing for reduced thickness, reduced size, facilitated processing and manufacturing, reduced costs, and improved gain effect.

Abstract: Disclosed is an offset feed satellite television antenna comprising a metamaterial panel (100) arranged behind a feed (1). The metamaterial panel (100) comprises a core layer (10) and a reflective panel (200) arranged on a lateral surface of the core layer (10). The core layer (10) comprises at least one core layer lamella (11). The core layer lamella (11) can be divided into multiple belt areas on the basis of refractive indexes. With a fixed point as a center, the refractive indexes on the multiple belt areas are identical at a same radius, while the refractive indexes on each belt area decrease gradually as the radius increases. For two adjacent belt areas, the minimum value of the refractive indexes of the inner belt area is less than the maximum value of the refractive indexes of the outer belt area. A connection between the center and the feed (1) is perpendicular to the core layer lamella (11), while the center does not overlap the center of the core layer lamella (11).

Refractive indices of the metamaterial sheet layer are distributed in a circular form with a center of the metamaterial sheet layer, and the refractive indices remain unchanged at a same radius and increase gradually with the radius.

Moreover, the metamaterial of the present disclosure has small dimensions and does not occupy a large space, so it is easy to miniaturize apparatuses made of the metamaterial of the present disclosure.

The present invention further provides a method for generating an operating wavelength of a metamaterial panel for use in the aforesaid antenna. These improve the convergence performance and reduce the volume and size of the antenna.
