Abstract

A planar multi-layer transreflector (200) for generating cοllimated coherent energy comprises one or more of insulating layers (204) between two or more metallic layers (202) disposed on the insulating layers (204). The transreflector (200) substantially reflects a cross-polarized component of an incident millimeter-wave signal (206) and substantially transmits remaining portions (210) of the incident millimeter-wave signal (206). Each of the metallic layers (202) comprises a plurality of rectangles arranged in a grid pattern radially varying in size within circumferential regions. The reflected cross-polarized component is substantially orthogonal to the transmitted remaining portions (210). A substantially cοllimated and coherent wavefront comprising the remaining portions (210) is produced in a first direction, and substantially collimated and coherent wavefront comprising the cross-polarized components may be produced in a second direction.
