AbstractA high-gain lens antenna employing single-layer focusing metasurface (MS) is proposed in this article. The single-layer element achieves a 360° transmission phase range with a transmission magnitude better than 0.9. And the focusing MS consists of 169 elements was designed by utilizing the technique of varying rotation angle to compensate the phase delay. Thus, a lens antenna is constructed by placing a circularly polarized (CP) patch antenna at the focal point of the MS. The fabricated lens antenna demonstrates a good performance of 4.6 % 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth and 6 % 1-dB gain bandwidth, respectively. Moreover, the maximum gain is 18.3 dBic at 15 GHz, which is enhanced by 11.4 dBic compared with the patch antenna. Due to the single-layer structure, this design has a low profile and easy fabrication process compared with the conventional designs, making it an attractive alternative to compact high-gain antenna.
