Abstract

A dual-band multilayer shared aperture antenna (SAA) is presented, which can recognize anomalous two-dimensional beam steering simultaneously at two distinct operating wavelengths lie in near-infrared (NIR) (λ1=1055 nm) and visible (λ2=700 nm) spectra. The supercell consists of one large cross-shaped resonator antenna (top layer) and a 2×2 square-shaped patches (bottom layer). This compact bifunctional dual-band reflectarray SAA can steer the main beam toward relatively large angles (≈40 deg) in both θ- and ϕ-planes at dual-frequency bands. The state-of-the-art techniques in antenna design are exploited to attain the minimized aperture size and negligible coupling among NIR and visible arrays. The overall height of the antenna is 275 nm (≈0.25λ1). The presented structure is customizable in form and can easily be scaled to other frequency ratios.
