| description | This paper investigates the optimization of cylindrical metasurface meta-covers designed to enable beamforming capabilities in single linear antennas. This study focuses on the development and application of advanced optimization tools to tailor the electromagnetic response of these metasurfaces, enabling precise control over the radiation patterns of the antenna. In particular, we develop a genetic algorithm-based optimization tool, which achieves precise manipulation of the main beam direction and null placement in the radiation pattern. The results further expand the applications of metasurface-based meta-covers in enhancing the functionality of dipole antennas in various communication and sensing systems. |
