Abstract

See full text

The present disclosure provides system and methods for calibrating a tunable metamaterial device including a plurality of external antennas. A sequence of port impedance vectors, (z(m), m) may be generated. Each of the port impedance vectors may be applied to the tunable metamaterial device, and measuring at least one S-parameter associated with an antenna external to the tunable metamaterial device. A simulated S-Matrix may be generated by associating each of the port impedance vectors, z(m), with the unknown admittance matrix. The unknown admittance matrix may be solved for by determining a plurality of optimization variables by comparing each of the S-parameters, S(m), to the simulated S-Matrix for each port impedance vector, z(m), and generating an estimated admittance matrix by associating each of the optimization variables with the unknown admittance parameters. The estimated admittance matrix may be used for more accurate radiation patterning.
