The proposed electromagnetic screen with switchable functionalities is composed of tunable metasurfaces inserted in a multilayer structure. By electronically controlling the external current applied across the p-i-n diodes in the metasurfaces, the screen can switch between transmission, reflection, or absorption states for incident electromagnetic waves. This composite metascreen enables flexible wavefront control and has potential applications in smart radomes for microwave sensors and antennas.
An electromagnetic screen with switchable transmission, reflection, and absorption functionalities is proposed. The screen is composed of tunable metasurfaces inserted in a multilayer structure. The composite material is numerically designed and experimentally validated at microwave frequencies. The electromagnetic screen is electronically controlled by an external current applied across the p-i-n diodes in the metasurfaces, and upon the bias current, its functionality can be switched between three states: transmission, reflection, or absorption of the incident electromagnetic wave. Such a composite metascreen opens the door to flexible wavefront control and shows potential applications in smart radomes for microwave sensors and antennas.
