| Popis: | A rigorous semi-analytical Floquet analysis is proposed for a zero-thickness space-time modulated Huygens' metasurface to model and determine the strengths of the new harmonic components of the scattered fields. The proposed method is based on Generalized Sheet Transition Conditions (GSTCs) treating a metasurface as a spatial discontinuity. The metasurface is described in terms of Lorentzian electric and magnetic surface susceptibilities, $\chi_\text{e}$ and $\chi_\text{m}$, respectively, with parameters (e.g. resonant frequency) that are periodically modulated in both space and time. The unknown scattered fields are expressed in terms of Floquet harmonics, for which the amplitudes can be found by numerically solving a set of linear equations, leading to the total scattered fields. Using existing computational techniques, the method is validated using several examples of pure-space and pure-time modulation with different modulation strengths and pumping frequencies. Finally, two cases of spacetime modulation (standing wave perturbation and a traveling wave perturbation) are presented to demonstrate the breaking of Lorentz reciprocity. The proposed method is simple and versatile and able to determine the steady-state response of a space-time modulated Huygen's metasurface that is excited with an oblique plane wave, or a general incident field such as a Gaussian beam.
