Waveform-selective metasurfaces with normal waves at the same frequency

Waveform-selective metasurfaces, reported by Wakatsuchi et al. in 2014, have enabled us to distinguish different surface waves even at the same frequency in accordance with their waveforms or pulse widths. In this study we demonstrate that such new characteristics are applicable to controlling not only surface waves but also free-space waves normal to metasurfaces. Both simulation and measurement results show selective absorption or transmission for specific pulses at the same frequency. Thus the waveform selectivity is expected to create a wider range of new applications, for instance, waveform-selective antennas and wireless communications.
