Abstract (en)
An antenna comprises a plurality of re-radiating elements arranged in at least one plane being parallel to a fixed surface. The arrangement is adapted such that electromagnetic radiation emitted from the re-radiating elements in response to electromagnetic radiation arriving from a predetermined direction interferes constructively at a feed location. Additionally, the antenna comprises a feed provided at the feed location. In a method of manufacturing an antenna, the arrangement of the plurality of re-radiating elements may be calculated and the re-radiating elements can be provided in the at least one plane substantially parallel to the substrate. An apparatus for manufacturing an antenna may comprise a data processor adapted to calculate the arrangement of the plurality of re-radiating elements and means for forming the plurality of re-radiating elements.
