PROSPECTS OF USING CONFORMAL STRUCTURES AND META-SURFACES IN ANTENNA SYSTEMS OF MOBILE OBJECTS

A promising area of research in order to create new generations of antennas for mobile objects is the study of conformal antennas, the shape of which corresponds to the carrier surface. In this case, not only traditional radiators (arrays of radiators), but also planar metamaterials (metasurfaces), including those with chiral properties, may be used as conformal structures. The article presents the results of the study of the characteristics of meta-surfaces based on S-elements and gammadions. The conducted studies, including experimental ones, confirm the prospects for further activity in the field of using conformal structures and meta-surfaces as a part of antenna systems of mobile objects. The immediate research objectives in this area are indicated.
