Ultrawideband Anisotropic Glide-Symmetric Metasurfaces

• This letter presents a method to realize anisotropic two-dimensional designs with wideband operation. Glide symmetry has been proven to increase the bandwidth and equivalent refractive index of periodic structures. Here, two anisotropic glide-symmetric unit cells are proposed and characterized. Our simulated results prove that these unit cells follow the general behavior of periodic structures possessing glide symmetry. Moreover, we demonstrate that higher level of anisotropy can also be achieved by glide symmetry. Combining our proposed anisotropic glide-symmetric unit cell and transformation optics, a 30% compressed Luneburg lens is designed. The lens operates from 1 to 13 GHz.
