Overview of research on metalenses and geodesic lenses for 5G/6G applications in Ericsson

• In this contribution, we outline the challenges and opportunities of designing parallel-plate lenses implemented with metasurfaces (i.e. metalenses) or with geodesic surfaces (i.e. geodesic lenses), for next generation communication systems (5G and beyond). The requirements that we studied in our investigations are low scanning loss, high efficiency, high crossover level, polarization diversity, wide scanning range, low antenna profile, manufacturing simplicity, and cost-effectiveness. These requirements are key when designing and developing antennas for 5G and beyond.
