In this work, a circularly polarised (CP) slot antenna based on linear polarisation conversion metasurface (PCM) is proposed for broadband radar cross-section (RCS) reduction and gain improvement. The proposed metasurface is designed using the chequerboard alignment of PCM unit cells and its mirrored ones to meet the phase cancellation principle required for RCS reduction. An improved loading technique of the PCM consisting of rearrangement of the PCM unit cells across the radiating slot is employed to enhance the gain of the proposed antenna. The measured results show that the operating bandwidth of the proposed antenna is in the range of 9.8–10.8 GHz. The maximum gain achieved is 2.4 dB more than the reference antenna while the 3-dB axial ratio bandwidth (ARBW) obtained is 9.8–10.6 GHz. The proposed antenna achieves an average RCS reduction of 11 dB in the frequency region of 6–18 GHz in comparison to the reference antenna.
