摘要
We designed a metamaterial field rotator that can rotate electromagnetic wave fronts. Our starting point was the transformation-media concept. Effective medium theories and full simulations facilitated the actual design process. We created at a very simple structure comprising of an array of identical aluminum metal plates. We made and measured a sample and we experimentally demonstrated the field rotation effect as well as the broadband functionality at microwave frequencies.
