Abstract
Digital metasurfaces as space-coded surfaces composed of a set of sub-wavelength meta-atoms enable extraordinary capabilities to manipulate electromagnetic waves. Recently, amplitude-phase-joint-coding metasurfaces have been proposed to achieve enhanced beam shaping. However, design of a unit cell structure with a full manipulation of amplitude and phase of the reflected beam is challenging and this kind of unit cell structures are complicated. This paper proposes a space-time phase-only metasurface based on simple graphene-based unit cell that is digitally coded and arranged with a specific time sequence, allowing the effective simultaneous manipulation of both phase and amplitude. In this way, it is demonstrated that the terahertz beam can be shaped using the proposed metasurface.
期刊介绍:
The Nano Communication Networks Journal is an international, archival and multi-disciplinary journal providing a publication vehicle for complete coverage of all topics of interest to those involved in all aspects of nanoscale communication and networking. Theoretical research contributions presenting new techniques, concepts or analyses; applied contributions reporting on experiences and experiments; and tutorial and survey manuscripts are published.
Nano Communication Networks is a part of the COMNET (Computer Networks) family of journals within Elsevier. The family of journals covers all aspects of networking except nanonetworking, which is the scope of this journal.
