Abstract

A new functionality of microwave interferometry is demonstrated by application of metastructure, meta-surface or meta-atom as controlled original beam-splitter in modified interferometer on basis of h-plane waveguide tee. Specific selectively-tunable interference peaks are observed in transmission of microwaves due to influence of metastructure properties on shape, frequency and intensity of interference peak, when controlled structure resonance approaches interference peak. We investigated following structures as a beam-splitter: ferrite plate, individual conductive resonant element in the form of varactor-loaded butterfly dipole, and metastructure wire grating/varactor-loaded copper strip placed orthogonally. The obtained results open new possibilities to design microwave multifarious multiband spectral filtering and implement selective electric or magnetic tuning, required in multifunctional and multichannel wireless communication.
