Dynamic control of microwave with tunable metamaterial and metasurface

Abstract

Dynamic control of microwave is essential for many applications, such as antenna technique, focusing lens, etc. The recent developed metamaterials and metasurfaces provide more degrees of freedom to manipulate the electromagnetic wave through artificially engineered resonators. Here, we incorporate electrical tunable lumped elements into metamaterial and metasurface to dynamically manipulate the microwave. We will show that the chiral metamaterial can provide tunable asymmetric transmission in response to the bias voltage, and the Huygens’ metasurface can dynamically reshape the wavefront in a designable way.
