Polarization filter systems and methods

A wireless communication system, comprising:

• a first transceiver module configured to form one or more linearly polarized communication links with a second transceiver module;
• a host coupled to the first transceiver module and configured to control operation of a client device coupled to the second transceiver module over the one or more linearly polarized communication links;
• a dual channel polarization filter structure positioned between the first and second transceiver modules and configured to filter the one or more linearly polarized communication links to produce corresponding one or more filtered linearly polarized communication links;
• and
• a memory configured to store a plurality of computer readable instructions which when executed by the host and/or a client controller are adapted to cause the wireless communication system to perform a method comprising:
• initializing the client device by communicating one or more control and/or data signals over the one or more filtered linearly polarized wireless communication links produced by the dual channel polarization filter structure;
• communicating data with the client device by communicating the data over the one or more filtered linearly polarized wireless communication links produced by the dual channel polarization filter structure;
• and
• placing the client device in a low power consumption mode.

A method for forming a dual channel polarization filter structure for a wireless communication system, the method comprising:

• forming a first filter channel of the dual channel polarization filter structure;
• and
• forming the second filter channel of the dual channel polarization filter structure;
• wherein the first and second filter channels are each formed from three structural layers including at least one metalized layer disposed between the remaining two structural layers, and
• wherein each filter channel comprises an array of filter elements each comprising at least one metamaterial absorber arrangement.
