Metamaterials for high power reflectarray design

Abstract

Most often, transmission and reflection properties and geometrical constraints (such as size) are the sole considerations in metamaterials design. Typically, power handling is of little concern as most applications are very low power. Here, we consider not only the complex transmission and reflection properties but also the magnitude of the electric fields in and around the structure when designing metamaterials for robustness in high power reflectarray applications.
