Millimeter-wave electromagnetic metasurfaces based on perforated dielectrics

A Huygens' unit cell configuration based on perforated dielectrics is proposed and demonstrated using full-wave simulations. The proposed unit cell consists of a high permittivity dielectric resonator surrounded by a honey-comb lattice. The Honey comb structure provides mechanical integrity to the unit cell, thereby enabling the unit cell scaling to mm-wave frequency bands. Two different designs are shown to demonstrate diversity of transmission characteristics achievable through the proposed cells.
