Abstract

This paper presents a Functionally Reconfigurable Reflecting and Absorbing MetasurfacE (FRAME) that dynamically switches between radio frequency (RF) energy absorption and reflection modes using a single PIN diode. The design efficiently operates across a wide incident angle range, enabling energy capture from- and redirecting to- various directions. In ON state, the FRAME absorbs energy, while in OFF state, it reflects incident electromagnetic (EM) waves at the designed resonant frequency. The simplified switching mechanism facilitates seamless mode transitions, making the FRAME well-suited for applications including adaptive wireless communication, EM interference (EMI) shielding, RF energy harvesting, and selective signal enhancement.
