Abstract

In this paper, a novel composite metasurface (MS) with diffuse scattering and absorbing characteristics is proposed to reduce the radar cross section (RCS) of a metal target in a broad band. The combination of absorption and diffusion is realized based on lossy Pancharatnam-Berry (PB) phase particles. The units are arranged according to a coding sequence which is obtained by an optimization algorithm based on simulated annealing algorithm. Simulation results show that the MS obtained based on the optimized coding sequence is insensitive to polarization. Due to the combination of absorption and diffusion, the MS has good performance in both monostatic and bistatic scenarios. Finally, the proposed MS is fabricated and measured, and the experimental results are in good agreement with simulation results. A 10 dB backward reflection reduction can be achieved from 21GHz to 38GHz and a 15 dB backward reflection reduction can be achieved from 22GHz to 35GHz under normal incidence. Furthermore, the MS has good performance under large angle (<45°) incidence.
