In this manuscript, by using alternate layers of double negative and magnetic cold plasma materials, we have studied the reflection and reflection phase shift properties of 1D binary photonic crystals. The simulations of the proposed work have been carried out by using the transfer matrix method with the help of MATLAB software. It has been found that the combination of the angle of incidence and external magnetic field under both right hand polarized and left handed polarized configurations can be used for right and left tuning of photonic bandgap (PBG) of the proposed structure under consideration. Under the aforementioned circumstances, the reflection phase shift corresponding to TE and TM waves can be smoothly switched between 0 to π and –π to 0, respectively, across PBGs of the proposed structure. The variation in external magnetic field values from 0 to 6 T and angle of incidence from 0° to 80° can be used for precise tuning of PBG and reflection phase shift between –π and π depending upon TM and TE polarization cases, respectively. This study may open a new gateway for designing externally tunable microwave devices like single to multichannel band-stop filters, buffers that can hold data temporarily, tunable wave plates, and tunable phase retarders.
