Investigating Polarization-Sensitive Transmission and Reflection Metasurfaces for Advanced Wavefront Manipulation

This paper presents the design and optimization of a dual-band polarization-dependent metasurface capable of dynamically switching transmission and reflection characteristics. The metasurface is composed of three metallic patterns, with the bottom layer governing the reflection and transmission phase for both TE-polarization and TM-polarization states. The middle and top layers are strategically employed to ensure optimal transmission and reflection performance. The results confirm that the metasurface enables the transformation of the transmission band into a complete reflection band, and vice versa, through variations in the incident wave polarization. Remarkable transmission and reflection characteristics are achieved within the frequency ranges of 6.1-6.55 GHz and 8.9-9.3 GHz, respectively. The proposed metasurface offers promising applications in advanced communication systems and radar technology, enabling dynamic manipulation of electromagnetic waves.
