Patent ID: 11605898

Abstract:
A multi-frequency folded lens antenna structure includes a stack, and the stack includes a polarization-dependent trans-reflector, a dielectric gap, and a multi-frequency twist-reflector; wherein the polarization-dependent trans-reflector is configured to transmit electromagnetic radiation of a first polarization incident from within the stack out of the stack and to reflect electromagnetic radiation of a second, different polarization incident within the stack towards the multi-frequency twist-reflector, and the multi-frequency twist-reflector is configured to selectively change a polarization of the reflected electromagnetic radiation from the second polarization to substantially the first polarization and to direct the electromagnetic radiation of substantially the first polarization, within the stack, towards the polarization-dependent trans-reflector for at least partial transmission out of the stack, wherein the multi-frequency twist-reflector is configured to selectively change the polarization for at least a first frequency band and for at least a second frequency band, non-contiguous to the first frequency band.
