Static phase gradient metasurface antenna enabling synergistic radiation-scattering function integration by Xin Wang, Qin Chen, Junlin Wang, Yifan Hou, Chengshuang Zhu, Yunsheng Guo, Yang Wang, Tao Zhou

“…According to the simulation and measurement results, the meta-plane antenna, after forming an array, can operate in the frequency band up to 8.5 GHz–10.6 GHz (22%), and the radiation gain in the frequency band can reach 20.1 dBi–21.4 dBi, which can effectively reduce the RCS in and out of the frequency band, as well as realize the functions of vortex wave generation and beam deflection, and, in short, the meta-plane antenna achieves the integration of radiation and scattering functions.…”
