An electronically reconfigurable dual-band-reflectarray antenna is presented in this paper. The tunable unit cell, a ring loaded square patch with a single varactor diode connected across the gap between the ring and the patch, is modeled…
A modulation of refractive index can move at the speed of light. How it interacts with an electromagnetic wave? Does it reflect? We show that an incident electromagnetic wave, depending on its frequency either is totally transmitted with a…
In this paper, an on-axis dual-reflector confocal ellipsoidal structure is presented for near-field imaging systems. In the proposed structure, the backscattered electromagnetic wave problem, known as the blockage effect, is reduced…
Phase reversal occurs in the propagation of an electromagnetic wave in a negatively refracting medium or a phase-conjugate interface. Here we report the experimental observation of phase reversal diffraction without the above devices. Our…
In this work, an innovative method for controlling the current distribution of the radiating patch by adjusting the input phase is investigated to achieve both pattern and polarization reconfigurable characteristics for the multifunction. A…
We introduce and discuss a new approach to the phase retrieval of fields radiated by continuous aperture sources having a circular support, which is of interest in many applications including the detection of shape deformations on reflector…
A periodically patterned free surface with inclined slits can convert an incident compressional wave into a reflected shear wave with nearly complete efficiency at very low frequency. The system is described by two-dimensional in-plane…
Negative refraction is a peculiar wave propagation phenomenon that occurs when a wave crosses a boundary between a regular medium and a medium with both constitutive parameters negative at the given frequency. The phase and group velocities…
Metagrating is a new concept for wavefront manipulation that, unlike phase gradient metasurfaces, does not suffer from low efficiency and also has a less complicated fabrication process. In this paper, a compound metallic grating (a…
We propose a polarization modulation scheme of electromagnetic (EM) waves through reflection of a tunable metamaterial reflector/absorber. By constructing the metamaterial with resonant unit cells coupled by diodes, we demonstrate that the…
METATOYs can change the direction of light in ways that appear to, but do not actually, contravene the laws of wave optics. This direction change applies only to part of the transmitted light beam; the remainder gets re-directed…
In this paper, we consider an intelligent reflecting surface (IRS)-aided single-user system where an IRS with discrete phase shifts is deployed to assist the uplink communication. A practical transmission protocol is proposed to execute…
With the rising number of interactions between autonomous or sensor-assisted vehicles -- especially in poor weather conditions -- come the need and opportunity for a new class of bicycle safety reflectors designed to enhance cyclist…
We present a one-port sensor based on a single diffraction grating delineated over a planar optical waveguide. Distinctly to previously reported devices, the grating here is used not only as I/O coupler, but also provides a built-in…
We present a novel antireflection approach utilizing planar metamaterials on dielectric surfaces. It consists of a split-ring resonator array and a metal mesh separated by a thin dielectric spacer. The coating dramatically reduces the…
The five-layer nanorod-mediated surface plasmon sensor with inhomogeneous liquid crystal layer was theoretically investigated. The reflectance as the function of the incident angle was calculated at different voltages applied to the liquid…
A compact reflection-type phaser composed of quarter-wavelength transmission line resonators interconnected by alternating K- and J-inverters is proposed. A design method is also presented. To validate this method, a 4th-order example is…
The dynamic steering of a beam reflected from a photonic structure supporting Tamm plasmon polariton is demonstrated. The phase and amplitude of the reflected wave are adjusted by modulating the refractive index of a transparent conductive…
We propose and demonstrate a compact acoustic retroreflector that reroutes probing signals back towards the source with minimal scattering. Gradient refractive index (GRIN) acoustic metamaterials, based on Archimedean spiral structures, are…
To achieve efficient long-range wireless power transfer (WPT), large antenna systems are necessary spanning lengths of tens to thousands of meters in one dimension. This creates an array in the order of at least hundreds of thousands to…
