Abstract: This letter proposes the design and measurement of a periodic metasurface that achieves anomalous reflection with reduced RCS in a given parasitic direction. A previous study proposed a semianalytical model to predict the RCS behaviour of such a metasurface. However, this first study did not include any experimental exploration to verify the theoretical results. To complete this study, this work presents an experimental validation of the proposed design, with a focus on manufacturing and measurement issues. The synthesis, design specifications, fabrication method and experimental setup are presented and discussed. Measurement results are also examined in detail, highlighting some limitations in metasurface RCS measurements. The proposed metasurface effectively achieves the predicted RCS level reduction in the considered parasitic direction. The agreement between simulation and experimental results demonstrates the accuracy of the modelling and the efficiency of the optimisation procedure. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
