Abstract

A system executes a search to tune dimensions and distribution of meta-atoms in the passive acoustic metasurface with respect to a plurality of predefined input signal property sets of the acoustic signal to provide a tuned propagation profile of the meta-atoms in aggregate and forms the meta-atoms with the dimensions and the distribution. Each meta-atom modulates incoming acoustic wavefronts to form corresponding outgoing acoustic wave exiting the passive acoustic metasurface. The tuned propagation profile in aggregate supports the plurality of predefined input signal property sets of the incoming acoustic wavefronts and, for each input signal property set. The physical dimensions and the distribution of the meta-atoms are tuned according to the tuned propagation profile to modulate the incoming acoustic wavefronts to generate a predefined beam pattern of the acoustic signal exiting the passive acoustic metasurface corresponding to a select input signal property set of predefined input signal property sets.
