The paper “Dual Circularly Polarized Metasurface Antenna Based on Inward and Outward Surface Wave Duplexing,” (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/10847702) derived from the PhD thesis of Ravikant Thanikonda, published in May 2025, is the most downloaded article of the year 2025 among all papers in IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation (IEEE TAP) (https://ieeeaps.org/ieee-tap/for-readers/25-articles-that-stood-out-to-our-readers-in-2025). IEEE TAP is the most prestigious journal in the world in the field of antennas and propagation. With over 4,000 downloads/citations in few months, the study stands out among the most impactful contributions in antenna and metasurface research.
