Metasurfaces that can simultaneously manipulate both amplitude and phase have garnered interest and have promising applications owing to their strong beam-steering ability; however, achieving a high maximum transmission while covering the full phase shift remains challenging. This paper proposes a chiral-structured meta-atom composed of two external cross-polarized patches and an internal coupling structure. It enables the independent modulation of the phase, amplitude, and polarization at large incidence angles and ensures a high maximum transmission with a complete phase shift enabled by the two internal rotation structures. The transmission phase and amplitude can be independently controlled by adjusting the geometry and rotation angle of the meta-atoms. The performance and feasibility of the method were verified using an ultra-thin high-order Bessel beam generator sample with a thickness of 2 mm (about λ 0 /11 at 14 GHz). This design can meet arbitrary requirements for extreme beam steering and has broad application prospects in the fields of electromagnetism and photonics.
