Abstract:
1. An antenna radiation collimator structure, comprising: a number of resonator circuit boards constructed and arranged to substantially form a block structure; a sheet of dielectric material disposed between each of the number of resonator circuit boards and being operative to maintain a substantially uniform spacing between each of the resonator circuit boards; a plurality of conductive unit resonator cells disposed on first planar surfaces of each of the number of resonator circuit boards; and a plurality of conductive strip lines disposed on second planar surfaces of each of the number of resonator circuit boards, wherein radiation applied to a substantially central location of the block structure interacts with the plurality of conductive unit resonator cells and the plurality of conductive strip lines for redirecting the radiation out of front and rear facing surfaces of the block structure as respective first and second substantially collimated beams having substantially equal and oppositely directed magnitudes.
