Sumario:Abstract In this paper using Plasmon Resonances Management (PRM), a bi-functional meta-mirror is proposed in which, the meta-mirror can obtain two opposite properties in two different frequency ranges. In this method, an anisotropic unit cell with polarization conversion property is modified to have two plasmon resonances in both symmetric and anti-symmetric planes in a specific frequency. This allows the unit cell to have the property of unchanged polarization in that frequency. The meta-mirror is composed of this modified unit cell and its mirror as a chessboard arrangement and the incident wave on the meta-mirror is reflected as in-phase in that specific frequency i.e. specular reflection, while as out-of-phase in other frequencies i.e. RCS reduction. The designed meta-mirror in this paper demonstrates the RCS reduction in two side-bands from 4 to 9 GHz and 10.8 to 14.8 GHz while behaving as a specular reflection in the frequency around 10 GHz.
