Abstract :
In this paper we introduce the design, fabrication and characterization of an ultra-directive source obtained by transforming the electromagnetic radiation path of an isotropic emitter. Near-field cartography of the emitted radiation and far field measurements of the radiation pattern are performed to illustrate the performances of our device.
