description A reconfigurable multifunctional metasurface is proposed to realize the switching between broadband polarization conversion and perfect absorption by integrating the PIN diodes into the structure. An appropriate feed plate is designed to provide the bias voltage that controls the state of the diodes. When the diodes are in off-state, the metasurface will work in polarization conversion mode, which can convert the co-polarization wave into its cross-polarization state with polarization conversion ratio (PCR) of over 90% in the range from 2.97 to 6.03 GHz; While the diodes are in on-state, the metasurface exhibits perfect absorption with absorptivity of over 90% from 2.56 to 7.62 GHz, and the relative absorption bandwidth (RAB) reaches 99.4%. In addition, the metasurface is fabricated and measured to confirm the multifunctional performance. The proposed metasurface is expected to be applied in electromagnetic detection, stealth technology and communication system.
