Abstract
Reconfigurability is a crucial capability for electromagnetic devices to achieve high flexibility in accommodating various scenarios. In this study, we present a reconfigurable microwave rasorber with dynamically tunable helicity polarization for the passband wave using a compound unit cell composed of two-bit chiral meta-atoms. Our specific samples demonstrate low reflectivity (< –10 dB) across the entire C-band, while also offering four distinct states (two-bit) for the passband (reflection/transmission) wave in a narrow window around 6.25 GHz, including circular polarization control or complete blockage. We experimentally demonstrated the switching capability for both chirality and intensity of the passing band wave. These results are significant in expanding the application scenarios of rasorbers with more versatile polarization controllability.
