Reflection and transmission of laminated structures using finite- and infinite-length metal wire array

This paper proposes reflection and transmission controlling materials using the artificially designed material. As the artificially designed material, finite- and infinite-length metal wire array sheets are used here. The laminated structures consisting of the metal wire array sheets and dielectric material are proposed. Reflection and transmission characteristics of these sheets can be controlled by changing the metal wire parameters such as wire length and spacing gaps between wires. The reflection and transmission of the laminated structures are evaluated by the transmission line theory and by the measurements in free space.
