The Smart Metamaterial Mechanism and Its Typical Application

(A) The application scenario in satellite communication. The smart metamaterial on the air-plane will automatically adjust its beam direction when the attitude changes.

(B) The components of a smart metamaterial system.

(C and D) The top and bottom views of the metamaterial sample.

(E and F) The single-beam staring when the metamaterial rotates along the radial and normal directions.

(G) The dual-beam modulations when the metamaterial rotates.
