Metasurfaces presenting a phase-gradient are designed at 10 GHz and are proposed to steer an antenna's radiated beam from broadside towards endfire direction. The metasurfaces are composed of both inductive and capacitive grids and the phase-gradient is achieved by modifying the elements in the inductive grid. Such ph…
