ABSTRACT:
A volume hologram for modifying a characteristic of an input microwave beam and a method for manufacturing thereof are disclosed. The hologram is fabricated from a multi-layer artificial dielectric wherein each layer is made of a dielectric material and includes a lattice of inclusions, for example metal disks disposed on one side thereof, and wherein a pre-determined three-dimensional grating pattern of dielectric perturbations is induced by spatial modulating the lattice of the inclusions. The hologram can be designed for efficiently steering, reshaping, combining or splitting microwave beams.
