Abstract
AbstractA general strategy for designing bi‐layer reflection‐transmission integrated dual‐mode metasurfaces is presented with flexible bandwidth control. The design of such metasurfaces is enlightened by introducing a cutting hole in the ground plane, which not only acts as a filter for reflection and transmission but also has an eloquent role for bandwidth control. For proof of concept, a bi‐layer metasurface consisting of split ring resonators (SRRs) is designed on the top side and I‐shaped resonators on both sides. The proper adjustment of ground cut/hole shifts the two co‐polarized resonances (initial resonances of the SRRs) close to each other, and in addition, converts wideband cross‐polarized reflection (in between the two initial co‐polarized resonances of SRR) to co‐polarized reflection. This results in a broadband response by shifting two co‐polarized resonances close to each other and converting cross‐polarized reflection into co‐polarized reflection. It is demonstrated that a simple SRR can be responsible for broadband (7.9–12 GHz) reflection while an I‐shaped structure is used for transmission with central frequency at 17.58 GHz with independent phase controls. To endorse the proposed strategy, a metasurface prototype is fabricated and tested for the generation of vortex beams and focusing.
