Abstract
The tunable dielectric anisotropy of liquid crystals is used to design a metasurface that acts as a phase-tunable reflector. An equivalent circuit is developed for the metasurface which closely models its simulation performance. The design and fabrication procedure for the metasurface is discussed. An experimental prototype is shown to exhibit 186° of phase swing.
