Résumé

In this thesis, I have proposed two new types of millimeter-wave frequency selective surfaces, for shielding and reconfigurable antennas. A novel wideband FSS and a new class of reconfigurable FSS are introduced for shielding as well as mutual coupling reduction in antenna systems and beam-switching applications, respectively. Two beam-switching antennas using cantilever enabled reconfigurable FSS are designed and implemented at the 30 GHz millimeter-wave frequency band. Initially, a wideband FSS for millimeter-wave applications at the 60 GHz band is investigated. The simulated results of the wideband FSS are validated by the free-space measurement of a fabricated FSS panel. Furthermore, the proposed wideband FSS is applied as a mutual-coupling reducing wall in a MIMO system of DRAs. As a second objective, a new class of cantilever enabled FSS with frequency reconfigurability is designed. The method of fabrication and measurement of the FSS are described. For the validation of the cantilever-enabled FSS, panels of the proposed FSS are fabricated and measured. Further, these FSS panels are integrated with a conventional monopole source, to provide a beam-switching antenna in the 30 GHz frequency band. The beam-switching in the azimuth plane of the center source antenna is controlled by the switching of the FSS panels arranged around the antenna. Another antenna using a similar kind of cantilever enabled FSS is demonstrated for dualplane beam-switching application in the millimeter-wave frequency bands. The FSS panels arranged around the conventional DRA are divided both horizontally and vertically to obtain the concept of dual-plane beam-switching.Further, the prototypes of both single and dual-plane beam-switching antennas at 30 GHz are fabricated and measured to obtain the beam-switching radiation patterns.
