Full-duplex Reflective Beamsteering Metasurface Featuring Magnetless Nonreciprocal Amplification

Sajjad Taravati,
George V. Eleftheriades

Abstract: Nonreciprocal radiation refers to electromagnetic wave radiation in which a structure provides different response under the change of the direction of the incident field. Modern wireless telecommunication systems demand versatile apparatuses which are capable of fullduplex nonreciprocal wave processing and amplification, especially in the reflective state.Here, we propose full-duplex reflective beamsteering metasurfaces for magnetless nonreciprocal wave amplification. To realize such a unique, extraordinary an… Show more

“…Hence, the TIM makes an efficient connection between the cellular and satellite networks. To improve the functionality of the temporal TIM in this application, appropriate beamsteering mechanisms [7], [11], [15] can be added to the frequency conversion functionality of the TIM.…”

“…Isolators can be realized by the simultaneous breaking of time-reversal symmetry and spatial inversion [1][2][3]. Conventional techniques and structures for the realization of isolators include magnetically biased two-dimensional electron gas systems [4], gyroelectric waveguides [5], transistor-loaded transmission lines [6][7][8][9][10][11][12], magnetic ferrites [1,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19], nonlinearity [20], and space-time-modulation [21][22][23][24]. Although these approaches have their own unique advantages and applications, they suffer from distinct limitations and disadvantages that restrict their applications.…”

“…For instance, magnetically biased isolators require bulky magnets and are incompatible with integrated circuit technology [25]. An alternative approach is transistor-based isolators [8,10,12] which eliminate the bulky magnet and are compatible with integrated-circuit technology but suffer from limited power handling and noise performance, and are of limited availability at high frequencies. Nonlinear isolators may be a good choice for some applications but they only provide isolation to high power signals, while they pass low-level signals quasi-reciprocally [26].…”

“…Nonmagnetic nonreciprocity is conventionally achieved through nonreciprocal properties of transistors at microwave frequencies, [7][8][9][10][11][12][13] and electro-optical modulators at optical frequencies. 14 However, these techniques substitute the absence of cumbersome magnetic bias for other tangible drawbacks, such as poor noise performance and strong nonlinearities of transistors, or the complexity and large size of the electro-optical modulators.…”
