- This paper presents a novel beam switching technique using frequency selective slots. The new technology is simple to produce, low cost, and can be applied to existing wireless access points. It is a more efficient technology due to its being transparent and allow basic omnidirectional transmission when no power is applied. The paper led to an invited presentation on reconfigurable antennas using FSS at EuCap 2017 in London. The technology was patented through the US Patents and Trademarks Office as patent US8842056 in 2014. The work has had impact in developments by AT&T, and has widely inspired other researchers.
