Spatialite Antenna systems are engaged in the design and development of liquid crystal compositions optimized for use in wireless communications at GHz and THz spectrum, metamaterial structures, and smart, electronically steerable antennas (ESA) for use in 5G and coming generations of wireless networks.
Metamaterials are artificially engineered materials to possess certain properties that can not be found in naturally occurring materials. Combining metamaterials with liquid crystals that can regulate their electromagnetic properties as a function of bias voltage supplied we create a spatial light modulator (SLM). SLM's ability to change the direction and shape of the radiation beam finds interesting applications in wireless communication systems such as beamforming and beam steering. Liquid crystal-loaded metamaterial applications are suitable for use at GHz and THz spectrum.
At Spatialite Antenna systems we research, develop and produce in small quantities liquid-crystal compositions optimised for use in mmWave wireless communications.
