Abstract

This study introduces a steerable metasurface reflector designed for the Ka-band, enabling one-dimensional and two-dimensional beam steering. The paper elaborates on the design considerations, manufacturing process, and experimental findings. The unit cell design incorporates a Varactor diode as the tuning element, facilitating a dynamic phase range exceeding 300° with minimal metasurface beam steering losses. Notably, the experimental results are in good agreement with the simulation outcomes. The advantages of employing this metasurface reflector include rapid beam steering, cost-effective production implementation, support for both one-dimensional and two-dimensional beam steering, low reflection loss, high-resolution beam steering, and continuous beam steering capabilities.
