“…This can be realized by alternating two resonant states of the metamaterial, invoking fully transparency or fully reflectivity via tunable biased diodes, as can be read in [47]. Future alternatives coming from electronic materials such as graphene [51] or Vanadium oxide [52] could be promising for this purpose.…”

In this paper, we study the scattering and diffraction phenomena in time-modulated metamaterials of metallic nature by means of Floquet equivalent circuits. Concretely, we focus on a time-periodic screen that alternates between ''metal" and ''air" states. We generalize our previous approaches by introducing the concepts of ''macroperiod" and ''duty cycle" to the time modulation. This allows to analyze time-periodic metallic metamaterials whose modulation ratios are, in general, rational numbers. Furthermore, with the introduction of the duty cycle, perfect temporal symmetry is broken within the time modulation as the time screen could remain a different amount of time in metal and air states. Previous statements lead to an enrichment of the diffraction phenomenon and to additional degrees of freedom that can be exploited in engineering to control the reflection and transmission of electromagnetic waves. Finally, we present some analytical results that are validated with a self-implemented finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) approach. Results show that the scattering level and diffraction modes can be controlled independently by means of the duty cycle and the modulation ratio, respectively, leading to an efficient design of time-based pulsed sources and beamformers.INDEX TERMS Floquet circuit, FDTD, modulation ratio, macroperiod, duty cycle.
