Suppression of scattering based on an ultrathin metasurface

Abstract

We propose a method to suppress the scattering based on an ultrathin metasurface in a broad frequency band. The designed metasurface is composed of two kinds of units with different geometries and reflection phases, which provide destructive interference in most of reflected directions, suppressing the main lobe and side lobes significantly of the scattering pattern. The resonance frequencies of two units are elaborately designed to broaden the frequency band. Full-wave numerical simulation results show that a large bandwidth of 1.74 GHz is achieved using the proposed metasurface with the thickness 1 mm, which suppresses the scattering by at least 10 dB. The proposed metasurface may find wide applications in a series areas.
