Abstract

Recently, accelerating advances in coding metasurfaces linking metamaterial and digital codes have enabled unexampled route for electromagnetic (EM) waves manipulation, including perfect reflection and transmission. In this paper, an anisotropic coding metasurface with a semi-discontinuous metallic ground sheet are proposed, which realizes dual independent functionalities by changing the polarization of incident waves. The ultrathin metasurface is composed of eight coding elements based on a simple rectangle metal patch and the reflective phases of these elements fully cover 360°. Both numerical and measured results show that our design is able to near-perfectly reflect the normally incident y-polarized wave to desired reflection angle and transmit the y-polarized plane wave with high efficiency. In addition, considering the simple structure, easy fabrication process and decent control ability on EM waves, the proposed coding metasurface may be exploited for more complex functionalities.
