Abstract

λ/2 is the minimum length along the propagating direction to support a cavity mode. Here we show experimentally that metamaterial cavity formed by a high impedance surface (HIS) and an electrically responded surface can make a clipole highly directive. 3dB angular width is less than 30°. Thickness of the cavity is much less than λ/4 at working wavelength with return loss up to -40dB. This study is of great potential in realizing snbwavelength antenna with high directivity in the future.
