| Abstract: | The various embodiments presented herein relate to extraordinary
electromagnetic transmission (EEMT) to enable multiple inefficient
(un-matched) but coupled radiators and/or apertures to radiate and/or
pass electromagnetic waves efficiently. EEMT can be utilized such that
signal transmission from a plurality of antennas and/or apertures occurs
at a transmission frequency different to transmission frequencies of the
individual antennas and/or aperture elements. The plurality of
antennas/apertures can comprise first antenna/aperture having a first
radiating area and material(s) and second antenna/aperture having a
second radiating area and material(s), whereby the first
radiating/aperture area and second radiating/aperture area can be
co-located in a periodic compound unit cell. Owing to mutual coupling
between the respective antennas/apertures in their arrayed configuration,
the transmission frequency of the array can be shifted from the
transmission frequencies of the individual elements. EEMT can be utilized
for an array of evanescent of inefficient radiators connected to a
transmission line(s). |
