Abstract

In this work, we describe a left-handed mirror as a structure that forms an array of left-handed layers sandwiched between free spaces. Under this assumption, we construct the left-handed mirrors and investigate their physical features for the millimeter wave applications when the incident electric field with any arbitrary polarization. Transfer matrix method is used in the analysis to find the relations among the incident, reflected and transmitted electric fields. Finally, the reflectance and transmittance are calculated in numerical results for the s-polarization case to present their physical characteristics in the millimeter wave band with the emphasis on the layer numbers and thicknesses..
