Abstract

Complex beams play important roles in wireless communications, radar, and satellites, and have attracted great interest in recent years. In light of this background, we present a fast and efficient approach to realize complex beams by using (SDR) optimization and amplitude-phase digital coding metasurfaces. As the application examples of this approach, complex beam patterns with cosecant, flat-top, and double shapes are designed and verified using full-wave simulations and experimental measurements. The results show excellent main lobes and low-level side lobes and demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach. Compared with previous works, this approach can solve the complex beam-forming problem more rapidly and effectively. Therefore, the approach will be of great significance in the design of beam-forming systems in wireless applications.
