Sumario:Reduction of first side lobe level and nulls in artificial fishnet metalenses is accomplished here by applying the reference phase concept along with the zoning technique. Higher focusing efficiency is achieved for a specific reference phase when comparing numerically and experimentally four different designs. For such best design, an improvement of the first side lobe level (2.4 dB), first null (13 dB) and gain (1.77dB) is achieved experimentally compared to the design without reference phase.
