  • Patent number: 10498042
    Abstract: A reflection frequency conversion device using an active metamaterial surface comprising: a plate-shaped active metamaterial surface which is configured to continuously convert a phase of a reflected wave by changing surface impedance characteristics in accordance with input voltage; and an arbitrary waveform generator which provides a voltage waveform capable of linearly changing the phase of the reflected wave in accordance with time to the metamaterial surface, where a reflection frequency generated on the metamaterial surface is converted in accordance with a frequency of the voltage waveform provided from the arbitrary waveform generator, where a plurality of metamaterial unit structures are periodically disposed on the metamaterial surface, and where the metamaterial unit structure is a high impedance surface (HIS) provided with a variable capacitor, and the capacitance of the variable capacitor is changed in accordance with applied voltage to change the phase of the reflected wave.
