MILLIMETER-WAVE DETECT OR REFLECT ARRAY
First Claim
1. A device for selectively reflecting an incident microwave signal or millimeter-wave signal, the device comprising:
- a plurality of antennae disposed in an array, each antenna having an input adapted to selectively receive a forward bias signal, or a zero or reverse bias signal;
a diode disposed at each input of each antenna; and
a switching device connected to each input, and configured to selectively apply a forward bias, or zero or reverse bias to each of the diodes, wherein in forward bias, each of the plurality of antennae detects the incident microwave signal or millimeter wave signal, and in zero bias or reverse bias, each of the plurality of antennae reflects the incident microwave signal or millimeter wave signal.

Abstract
A device for selectively reflecting an incident microwave signal or millimeter-wave signal includes multiple antennae disposed in an array. Each antenna has an input adapted to selectively receive a forward bias signal or a zero bias signal. The device also includes a diode disposed at each input of each antenna. The device also includes a switching device connected to each input, and configured to selectively apply a forward bias or zero bias to each of the diodes. In forward bias, each of the antennae detects the incident microwave signal or millimeter wave signal, and in zero bias, each of the antennae reflects the incident microwave signal or millimeter wave signal.
