Abstract
Beam scanning based on metasurfaces is widely discussed in recent years owing to its high integration, lightweight, and low cost. However, most of the reported beam scanning metasurfaces operate in either transmission or reflection mode. Here, we propose a full-space beam scanning metasurface based on transmission reflection switchable meta-atom and the quadratic phase distribution. As a validation, a metasurface array with 400 units (20 × 20) was experimentally demonstrated. Beam scanning of ± 35 ° was achieved in both transmission mode and reflection mode. A larger scanning angle (± 45 °) was further verified simulatively with a 900-units (30 × 30) array. The method provides an avenue for expanding the space of electromagnetic wave manipulation and may have great potential in wireless communication and radar detection.
