Simplistic metasurface design approach for incident angle and polarization insensitive rcs reduction.

This paper proposes the design of a metasurface for polarization and incident angle-insensitive RCS reduction applications. An ellipse-shaped unit cell is utilized as a polarization converter, which is then arranged to form a checkerboard surface. While a single layer checkerboard structure gives a wideband RCS reduction, a double layer structure yields polarization and incident angle independent operation.
