Abstract
The paper describes the designs of a frequency-reconfigurable, polarization reconfig-
urable and pattern reconfigurable antennas using metasurfaces (MS). The frequency-reconfigurable
and polarization reconfigurable antennas are composed of a simple circular patch antenna or slot
antenna as the source antenna and a circular MS with the same diameter, with both source
antenna and MS implemented using planar technology. The pattern reconfigurable antenna is
composed of a circular patch antenna as the source antenna and a semicircular MS with the
same diameter. In all these reconfigurable antennas, the MS is placed directly atop of the source
antenna, making the antenna very compact and low profile with a thickness of only 0.05λ0 . By
rotating the MS around the center with respect to the source antenna, the frequency, polarization
or pattern of the reconfigurable antenna can be reconfigured.
