Abstract:This paper proposes a method of combining the metasurface with antenna array to realize highgain antenna array with simultaneous low backward scatterings. The metasurface composed of multilayered structure is characterized by allowing the xpolarized wave to transmit the ypolarized wave to reflect. Therefore, the radiation from an xpolarized antenna array can pass through the metasurface, and at the same time, diffusion scattering occurs when the outofphase metaatoms are used to form the checkerboard or random arrangement. The simulated results show that a peak gain of 18.8 dB and an operating band of around 12.5% can be obtained by the method. When the finding wave is xpolarization, the RCS of the antenna reduces by 10 dB from 9.5 GHz to 10.1 GHz and the peak reduction is 25 dB, covering the operating band of the antenna. For ypolarized incidence, 10 dB RCS reduction can be achieved from 7.8 GHz to 12 GHz, and the peak reduction is over 35 dB. The measured results are identical with the simulated results. The proposed design method can reduce the RCS effectively by using the transmissionreflectionselective metasurface, and the abovementioned provides lowscattering antenna design with a new path.
