“…Furthermore, it was demonstrated in [7] that, for small cavities of rectangular shape (edge size of 0.25 λ 0 , where λ 0 is the wavelength in vacuum at the operating frequency), a patch antenna placed at the aperture of the cavity does not offer the best performance in terms of BW: The maximum reachable BW was shown to be achieved by replacing a standard patch at the aperture with a metasurface composed of one or several layers of capacitively coupled strips [8], whose dimensions are typically smaller than one tenth of the wavelength [10]. As introduced in previous works [7][8][9]11], loading the aperture of a metallic cavity antenna with a capacitance-only impedance offers two benefits: Increasing the antenna BW [7], particularly compared to stacked patch antennas embedded in a larger cavity [11]; or reduction of the antenna and cavity size for a given BW [9].…”
