The pulsed electromagnetic (EM) plane-wave scattering by a thin, high-contrast metasurface with time-varying magneto-dielectric properties is analyzed analytically with the aid of the time-domain (TD) EM reciprocity theorem of the timeconvolution type. It is shown that the (1+1)-spacetime scattering problem can be reduced to a system of two uncoupled differential equations that are amenable to analytical solution. The resulting fields induced in the thin layer are subsequently used to express the desired scattered fields. The pertaining zero-reflection condition is discussed. Illustrative numerical examples are presented and validated numerically.

Martin Štumpf received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Brno University of Technology (BUT), Brno, Czech Republic, in 2011.

After his Ph.D. degree research, he spent a year and a half as a Post-Doctoral Fellow with KU Leuven, Leuven, Belgium. He is currently an Associate Professor of theoretical electrical engineering with the Lerch Laboratory of EM Research, BUT. During a three-month period in 2018, he was a Visiting Professor at the UAq EMC Laboratory, University of L’Aquila, L’Aquila, Italy. He has authored the books Electromagnetic Reciprocity in Antenna Theory (Wiley–IEEE Press, 2017), Pulsed EM Field Computation in Planar Circuits: The Contour Integral Method (CRC Press, 2018), Time-Domain Electromagnetic Reciprocity in Antenna Modeling (Wiley–IEEE Press, 2019), and Metasurface Electromagnetics: The Cagniard-DeHoop Time-Domain Approach (IET, 2022).

His main research interests include modeling of electromagnetic wave phenomena with an emphasis on antenna theory and EMC.
