Maxwell Fisheye Lens Based Retrodirective Array. [PDF]
AbstractA Maxwell fisheye lens using parallel plate index grading is presented in this study to develop a passive retrodirective antenna array. As a proof-of-concept a design frequency of 10 GHz was selected for fabrication and experiment. The design principals of the lens are discussed, which enables 85% energy flow at the drain probe (also referred ...

Developments in retrodirective array technology
There has been significant interest in retrodirective antennas, especially considering the wealth of applications that could be significantly enhanced, or created, by the use of such technology. There is enormous potential for retrodirective antennas where complicated automatic tracking systems would benefit from being replaced by much simpler systems.

Directional modulation‐enhanced retrodirective array [PDF]
Unlike the mathematical techniques adopted in classical cryptographic technology at higher protocol layers, it is shown that characteristics intrinsic to the physical layer can be exploited to secure useful information. It is shown that a retrodirective array can be made to operate more securely by incorporating directional modulation (DM) concepts ...

A retrodirective microstrip antenna array [PDF]
A Van Atta retrodirective reflector was designed and developed, using an aperture-coupled microstrip antenna array. This reflector possesses the advantage of reflecting high fields to the source point over a wide range of incidence angles and, owing to the low cost and conformability of the structure, is suitable for applications in intelligent vehicle
