In this paper using Plasmon Resonances Management (PRM), a bi-functional meta-mirror is proposed in which, the meta-mirror can obtain two opposite properties in two different frequency ranges. In this method, an anisotropic unit cell with polarization conversion property is modified to have two plasmon resonances in both symmetric and anti-symmetric planes in a specific frequency. This allows the unit cell to have the property of unchanged polarization in that frequency. The meta-mirror is composed of this modified unit cell and its mirror as a chessboard arrangement and the incident wave on the meta-mirror is reflected as in-phase in that specific frequency i.e. specular reflection, while as out-of-phase in other frequencies i.e. RCS reduction. The designed meta-mirror in this paper demonstrates the RCS reduction in two side-bands from 4 to 9 GHz and 10.8 to 14.8 GHz while behaving as a specular reflection in the frequency around 10 GHz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
