Abstract

A repeater device comprises a periodic array of alternating metallic phase shifting elements, the array being periodic in at least one axis, formed on a first surface of a dielectric substrate, with an opposite surface of the dielectric substrate having a ground plane formed thereon, wherein each phase shifting element provides from 0° to 360° phase shifting in the microwave frequency range. The repeater device can be utilized in a microwave network.
