The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of OAM antennas, and provides a frequency re-configurable OAM antenna in S band and a frequency reconfiguration method. The OAM antenna includes a lower dielectric substrate and multiple array units. Each array unit includes a metal patch, an upper dielectric substrate, an outer loop, an inner loop, a coaxial feeder, four metal probes, and four diodes. In the present disclosure, bias states of all the diodes of each array unit are controlled by applying a voltage; when all the diodes are in forward bias states, the antenna works at a high frequency; and when all the diodes are in reverse bias states, the antenna works at a low frequency. The frequency re-configurable OAM antenna in S band in the present disclosure has features of frequency reconfiguration and two OAM radiation modes, and has a stable gain over a broadband.

A reconfigurable intelligent metasurface with adjustable 3-bit dual-polarization phases may include a plurality of reconfigurable intelligent metasurface units with adjustable 3-bit dual-polarization phases. Each of the plurality of reconfigurable intelligent metasurface units may include: a first layer including four fan-shaped metal patches and four Y-shaped metal patches symmetrical about a center, a second layer being a feeding layer along the x-axis direction, a third layer being a feeding layer along the y-axis direction, and a fourth layer being a metal ground layer. By changing a voltage value at two ends of each of the varactors in an orthogonal polarization direction, the reconfigurable intelligent metasurface unit may be enabled to independently implement dual-polarization 3-bit phase modulation in two orthogonal polarization directions, thereby implementing decoupling in the orthogonal polarization directions.
