Abstract
This paper presents a novel 2-bit single-feed quad-beam metalens antenna for sub-THz links powered by traveling wave tubes. The metalens surface, consisting of 7692 unit cells with orthogonal slots and vias, allows precise electromagnetic wave manipulation by adjusting slot lengths to control the tr...
