摘要
Abstract Retroreflectors can scatter the arbitrarily incident wave back to incoming direction, demonstrating great potential in wireless communication. However, there are limitations in adaptive retroreflection and polarization modulation with the existing retroreflectors. In this paper, a novel metasurface array with a reconfigurable transmission line (TL) network has been proposed to flexibly achieve multiple manipulation functions of electromagnetic wave including upper half-space cross-polarized retroreflection and circularly polarized retroreflection in the diagonal planes and radar cross section (RCS) reduction. To accomplish these capabilities, a novel transmission mode for ferrite circulators has been developed, enabling precise phase control of the TL. By adjusting the operation states of the circulators, multiple phase differences between forward and reverse transmission directions including ±90° and ±180° are generated. With the obtained phase differences, the metasurface array can flexibly achieve the adaptive retroreflection fields with multiple polarization characteristics based on the spatial field superposition and the RCS reduction based on the phase cancellation. To validate the concept and feasibility of the proposed reconfigurable retrodirective metasurface, an X-band prototype has been fabricated and measured. Good agreement between the simulation and the experiment is observed to verify the effectiveness of our retrodirective design in upper half-space wave manipulation.
