An ultra-compact, broadband Huygens’ metasurface based on induced magnetism has been proposed. The induced magnetism in the Huygens’ meta-atom originates from the circulating electric currents constituted by the antisymmetric flowing of surface currents on the both conducting elements. The Huygens’ metasurface based o…
