Two different unit cells (patch and cross) structures have been proposed in the design approach having two and three degrees of freedom respectively. The periodicity of the super-cell design has been given at $mathbf{5.76}lambda$ in order to redirect an incoming wave back in the same direction of incidence at 5°. To highlight on the applicative potential of metasurfaces for radar cross section enhancement at oblique incident angles, the monostatic RCS for a cross structured metasurface has been calculated showing a high level of retrodirectivity at the desired angle for TM and TE polarizations.","PeriodicalId":365518,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Radio and Antenna Days of the Indian Ocean (RADIO)","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128125095","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recirculating loop acts as a frequency comb generator and allows to obtain multiple local oscillator signals at frequencies that significantly higher than the reference used.

The aim is to obtain retroreflection simultaneously at the desired direction and open channels of the designed metasurface. With an increase of periodicity of the super-cell design, the number of open channels increases according to Floquet-BLoch analysis. With an increase up to $mathbf{2}lambda$ and higher the system is said to become very lossy and loses its reciprocity in the symmetrical directions. In this particular case, a new design super-cell approach for a reciprocal retrodirective metasurface is studied for a periodicity of $mathbf{2.9}lambda$ at a 10° incident angle. For the validation of the analysis and performance of the designed metasurface, the monostatic RCS is given to determine the performance of the metasurface for retro-reflection. The results show significant levels at the desired angle (10°) and open channels (−32° and −44°), as well as a recovery of the loss in the symmetrical directions (−10°, 32° and 44°) using the reciprocal metasurface design approach.","PeriodicalId":365518,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Radio and Antenna Days of the Indian Ocean (RADIO)","volume":"192 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116424681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The slot is designed to resonate at 2.4 GHz, which combines with the resonance obtained due to a fictitious short circuit produced at a certain point along the slot. This leads to the wideband property at the first band. The second and third resonances are obtained at 7.5 GHz and 9.3 GHz.
