A metasurface for Radar Cross Section (RCS) reduction is proposed. The surface is composed of the same type of metamaterial units with difierent geometric dimensions, leading to various re∞ection phases under the incidence of plane waves. By carefully choosing the phase distributions, difiusion will be produced for the re∞ected waves which may redistribute the scattering energy from the surface toward all the directions, and hence it can be applied as the coating of metallic targets with ultra-low RCS. Both the simulated and experimental results have validated the proposed method.
