Popis: The multibeam capabilities of a metasurface design that is enabled by an application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) are presented in this work. The ASIC loads the metasurface with multi-bit discrete states, which translate into a finely tuned amplitude and phase response. We demonstrate multiple pencil beam patterns utilizing the multi-bit amplitude and phase response. The proposed metasurface design, which was designed at 3.6 GHz, has the potential to be used in multiple-user mobile communication systems, including next- generation 5G networks.
