Antenna radiation collimator structure

An antenna beam steering structure, comprising:

• a number of circuit boards interleaved with a number of dielectric sheet spacers to substantially form a block structure;
• an array of resonator cells disposed on top planar surfaces of each of the number of circuit boards;
• a number of conductive strip lines disposed on bottom planar surfaces of each of the number of circuit boards;
• and
• a slot formed on a central portion of the block structure and being dimensioned to accept an antenna, wherein the antenna is inserted into the slot for providing radiation to a substantially central location of the block structure and wherein the radiation interacts with the array of resonator cells and the number of conductive strip lines for redirecting the radiation out of front and rear facing surfaces of the block structure as respective first and second substantially collimated beams having substantially equal and oppositely directed magnitudes.
