Fig. 2. Design and working principles of the Willis meta-layer.

Fig. 2

a Microstructural design of the active Willis meta-layer. Geometric and material parameters of the design are given in Supplementary Fig. 4 and Supplementary Table 2. b Working principles of the active meta-layer. c, d Designed amplitudes and phases of electrical transfer functions, (c) H1 and (d) H2 of a transmission-type meta-layer (Rl = 0) with the amplitude of the transmission coefficient, Tl varied from 0 to 2 (horizontal axis) and with a full 2π phase change coverage (vertical axis). Source data are provided as a Source Data file. e Differences between numerically calculated transmission and reflection coefficients and their prescribed values to be achieved with the corresponding transfer functions in (c) and (d). Source data are provided as a Source Data file.
