  Metamaterial based Antennas for wireless and space communications, GPS, satellites, airplanes and missile seekers

  

  Wireless electronic systems have been relying on dish antennas to send and receive signals. These systems have been widely used where directivity is important and many of those systems work well at a relatively low cost after years of optimization. These dish antennas having a mechanical arm to rotate the …
