Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Metasurfaces have demonstrated significant potential for versatile modulation of electromagnetic waves. To enhance the control of electromagnetic waves, simultaneous control of amplitudes and phases is often essential in certain applications. The C-shaped split ring (SR) with polarization conversion and its deformed structures can fulfill this requirement; however, such structures encounter the challenge of low polarization isolation, which is mainly reflected in its inherent characteristics of low polarization isolation and the deterioration of polarization isolation in amplitude control. In this paper, a reflective metasurface with improved polarization isolation is proposed. The designed metasurface consists of rectangular split ring (R-SR) elements, which can realize both amplitude and phase controls simultaneously and independently while exhibiting higher polarization isolation than the conventional SR element. Furthermore, an alternating mirror rotation method (AMRM) for the arrangement of amplitude-control elements is proposed to suppress the degradation of polarization isolation caused by amplitude control. Several metasurfaces are designed to verify the characteristics of the proposed R-SR structure and the effectiveness of the AMRM. Finally, two reflective metasurfaces composed of R-SR elements and SR elements with identical configurations are designed and manufactured. Both the simulation and measured results demonstrate the versatility of the proposed design and its advantages in terms of polarization isolation and transfer efficiency.
