Title:Recent Accomplishments of Metasurfaces towards High Frequency ApplicationsAbstract:Metasurface structures, being ultra-thin in nature has been emerged as applications for various frequency selective surfaces viz., absorber, polarizer, filter, phase-shifter etc. In metasurface based absorbing structures, several sorts of array of metallic patches are designed over a metal-backed dielectric material. The incorporation of metal at the bottom side prohibits the transmission of electromagnetic wave incident to the structure. A number of structures have been proposed over wide band of frequencies ranging from microwave to optical and so forth. Polarization converting structures have also been proposed using metasurface-based designs. In all these designs, asymmetry has been introduced in the unit cell so that the structure is chiral in nature. Both transmittive as well as reflective-type polarization conversion structures using metasurface designs have been reported till date. Very recently, graphene layer has been introduced in the metasurface-based designs to achieve tenability as well as enhancement of bandwidth. By control of applied chemical potential and electrical grating, the plasmonic response of the graphene can be modulated in order to achieve tunability over a wide frequency of incidence. Graphene layer has been incorporated in the unit cell of metasurface to generate wideband tunable <a href="http://applications.Bio:Somak" target="_blank" title="applications.Bio:Somak">applications.Bio:Somak Bhattacharyya has received his PhD degree in 2015 from(https://can01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.iitk.ac.in%2F&data=05%7C02%7Chanieh.kianiamiri%40mail.utoronto.ca%7C24979b393d2b4c56268108ddb5c073a0%7C78aac2262f034b4d9037b46d56c55210%7C0%7C0%7C638866560385358160%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=lwN%2F7vkV2fQRFW4LbqknjnQnSdm4eldOfK7UGKgGQEg%3D&reserved=0), India.

AbstractTraditionally, AC power meters have been calibrated at power frequencies of 50/60 Hz. However, power meter manufacturers offer instruments with much higher power measuring bandwidths. This is because many applications consume power at higher frequencies, which go up to 100 kHz. These applications include:• Switching-mode power supplies,• High-frequency electronic lighting ballasts,• Soft starters in motor control systems,• Frequency converters in traction <a href="http://applications.Measurements" target="_blank" title="applications.Measurements">applications.Measurements of power at high frequencies have been lagging as well as the development of power meters to address the above applications, and few national laboratories provide traceable calibrations of up to 100 kHz. Without this capability, there remains doubt over the validity of the high-frequency specifications of power meters and power analyzers. The guaranteed accuracy and precision of Yokogawa's instruments results from the fact that Yokogawa has its own European Standards Laboratory at its European headquarters in The Netherlands. This facility was the first industrial (i.e. non-government or national) organization in the world to offer accredited power calibration, at frequencies up to 100 kHz.
