Abstract

The exigent demands imposed by future generations of high-speed cellular and satellite communications claim for low-loss and wideband phase shifters at mm-Wave frequencies. Pixelated metasurfaces provide large design versatility and constitute an attractive solution for wave manipulation. However, their design often implies the simultaneous tuning of a large number of geometrical parameters. In this article, multi-objective optimization is used together with full-wave simulation to design a low-loss 90° phase shifter operating on the 57-63 GHz frequency band. Among the set of optimal individuals provided by the algorithm, a final solution has been selected according to the electromagnetic response of the device, achieving less than 0.06 dB of reflection loss and a constant phase shift with an absolute error less than 2° over the whole frequency band.
