Abstract
Use of high frequency waves, such a millimeter waves, in many circumstances is prevented due to their inability to diffract around common obstacles. Disclosed herein is a system and method for transforming an incident high frequency wave. The system includes meta-atom pairs that define a surface. The meta-atom pairs generate an electro-magnetic response by interacting with an incident wave. This electro-magnetic response can be modulated by applying voltage to the meta-atom pairs. The electro-magnetic response transforms the incident wave into an emitted wave based on its controlled properties. The system and method are able to, by changing the voltage applied, steer the emitted wave a full 360 degrees as wells as transmit it through the surface without significant power loss. Embodiments enable the transmission through or around many obstacles that would normally interfere with high frequency waves.
