Abstract

The electric-controlled metasurface antenna array (ECMSAA) with ultra-wideband frequency reconfigurable reflection suppression is proposed and realized. Firstly, an electric-controlled metasurface with ultra-wideband frequency reconfigurable in-phase reflection characteristics is designed. The element of the ECMSAA is constructed by loading the single electric-controlled metasurface unit on the conventional patch antenna element. The radiation properties of the conventional patch antenna and the reflection performance of electric-controlled metasurface are maintained when the antenna and the metasurface are integrated. Thus, the ECMSAA elements have excellent radiation properties and ultra-wideband frequency reconfigurable in-phase reflection characteristics simultaneously. To take a further step, a 6×10 ECMSAA is realized based on the designed metasurface antenna element. Simulated and measured results prove that the reflection of the ECMSAA is dynamically suppressed in the P and L bands. Meanwhile, high-gain and multi-polarization radiation properties of the ECMSAA are achieved. This design method not only realizes the frequency reconfigurable reflection suppression of the antenna array in the ultra-wide frequency band but also provides a way to develop an intelligent low-scattering antenna.
