Abstract
We present a novel method to design a conventional Fabry–Perot (F-P) antenna but with low scattering. Combining a coding metasurface and an F-P antenna together could effectively reduce the scattering and keep high gain simultaneously. The coding element consists of two layers of square metallic patches printed on both sides of a dielectric substrate. The bottom metallic patch helps form a partially reflecting surface (PRS) for the F-P antenna, while the upper metallic patch is utilized to construct the coding metasurface with an optimized coding sequence, aiming to reduce the scattering of the F-P antenna by redirecting electromagnetic energies in all directions. Based on the specially designed coding metasurface, a good scattering reduction without degrading the radiation performance of the F-P antenna is achieved. Both simulated and experimental results demonstrate the excellent performance of the proposed antenna, with a peak measured gain of 19.8 dBi and a significant scattering reduction in the frequency range of 8–12 GHz.
