Integrated with microwave varactors, the transmission phase of this cylindrical metasurface lens can be tuned in a range up to 195° by direct-current (DC) bias voltages. By compensating the phase difference between different incidences, the proposed cylindrical lens can collimate the incident spherical wave front into a plane wave front with predefined deflection angle. By increasing the number of feeding sources, the beam steering range of conformal lens can be expanded to ±60°. Having advantages of low cost and simple structure, the proposed conformal lens can be extended to millimeter-wave band and enable a wide range of applications.engConformal AntennaActive MetasurfacePhase ShiftBeam SteeringCylindrical LensVaractorsElectromagnetic Wave PropagationArticle
