Abstract: We introduce here the concept of establishing Parity-time symmetry through a gauge transformation involving a shift of the mirror plane for the Parity operation. The corresponding unitary transformation on the system's constitutive matrix allows us to generate and explore a family of equivalent Parity-time symmetric systems. We further derive that unidirectional zero reflection can always be associated with a gauged PT-symmetry and demonstrate this experimentally using a microstrip transmission-line with magnetoelectric coupling. This study allows us to use bianisotropy as a simple route to realize and explore exceptional point behaviour of PT-symmetric or generally non-Hermitian systems.
