    Abstract
  • In this paper, a novel four-leaf clover-shaped coding metasurface is proposed and applied to achieve an ultra-wideband diffusion-like scattering. The proposed metasurface element has rotational symmetry; hence, it produces similar reflection characteristics for both x- and y-polarized waves. To realize a 1-bit coding metasurface, two elements are chosen that have a phase difference of 180°±37° from 15.5 to 40.5 GHz. An optimization algorithm is applied to get the best arrangement of unit cells in the array to attain the wideband RCS reduction. The four-leaf clover-shaped metasurface can attain more than 10 dB RCS reduction from 15.5 to 26.5 GHz and 30.5 to 40.5 GHz. A prototype of the proposed design is fabricated, and an experiment is carried out to validate the performance of the metasurface. The proposed concept of four-leaf clover-shaped coding metasurface is an effective solution for wideband RCS reduction applications.
