1. A conformal wave selector for use in conjunction with a first wireless system, the conformal wave selector comprising:

  • a first set of conductors arranged substantially in parallel in a first region and in a direction of a first axis, wherein a length of each of the first set of conductors is longer than a maximum wavelength of a first wireless radio frequency (RF) signal transmitted by the first wireless system, wherein a width of each of the first set of conductors is shorter than a minimum wavelength of a second wireless RF signal transmitted by another wireless system, and wherein the first set of conductors are spaced apart such that the first set of conductors does not interfere with a wave polarized normal to the first axis; and

    a second set of conductors arranged substantially in parallel in a second region and in a direction of a second axis, wherein the second axis is normal to the first axis, wherein the second region does not overlap the first region, wherein a length of each of the second set of conductors is longer than the maximum wavelength of the first wireless RF signal, wherein a width of each of the second set of conductors is shorter than the minimum wavelength of the second RF signal, and wherein the second set of conductors are spaced such that the second set of conductors does not interfere with a wave polarized normal to the second axis;

    wherein the conformal wave selector is operable to conform to a surface of an object to which the conformal wave selector is applied, wherein the first set of conductors are configured to reflect a portion of the first wireless RF signal polarized in the direction of the first axis, wherein the second set of conductors are configured to reflect a portion of the first wireless RF signal polarized in the direction of the second axis, and wherein the conformal wave selector is further configured to allow at least a portion of the second wireless RF signal to penetrate through the conformal wave selector.
