  1. This work presents the experimental realization of a printed-circuit beamformer designed using shape optimization. Shape optimization of the printed-circuit beamformer is enabled through the use of a circuit network solver that utilizes reduced-order models of printed-circuit unit cells to rapidly evaluate device responses, and the adjoint variable method to evaluate gradients. The designed beamformer is patterned on a microwave substrate and interfaces with a 3-D printed tapered aperture antenna. It produces nine orthogonal beams and has isolated input ports that are impedance matched. Experimental results for the performance of the 3-D printed antenna and the beamformer will be presented at the conference.

  2. null (Ed.)
    In this work, an inverse design method for multi-input multi-output (MIMO) metastructured devices is developed. Large-scale inverse design problems are difficult to solve directly and often require heuristic methods or design optimization to find a solution. Inherent errors introduced by heuristic methods makes design optimization a more promising route to the realization of high performance devices. Here, a fast frequency domain solver for grids of Y-parameter matrices is developed. The solver is used together with an adjoint-based optimization routine to solve inverse metastructured design problems. The design procedure is demonstrated through the realization of a planar beamforming network for a multi-beam antenna.
