Abstract:
1. A dielectric radiating element, comprising: a dielectric superstrate, the dielectric superstrate including a plurality of dipole layers, each of the dipole layers including metamaterials and dipoles; and a ground plane, the ground plane being connected to the dielectric superstrate, the ground plane being configured for receiving electrical signals from a power transmission assembly, the ground plane being configured with a horizontal polarization slot and a plurality of vertical polarization slots, the ground plane being further configured for radiating electromagnetic waves via the polarization slots based upon the received electrical signals, the electromagnetic waves being transmitted from the ground plane, through the dielectric superstrate, and being radiated from the dielectric radiating element, wherein the dielectric radiating element is a dual-polarized radiating element configured with coincident phase centers.
