[0002] In the future, 6G systems will develop towards intelligence, and the base station coverage capability and system spectrum utilization rate will be significantly improved. Multi-standard wide-coverage micro base stations and intelligent metasurface (RIS) collaborative communications will emerge. If the active wide-angle scanning coverage provided by satellite communication ground stations is integrated with the passive reflection capability of RIS to achieve dynamic control and real-time optimization of the communication environment, the system capacity can be effectively improved (Serup, Daniel Edelgaard, Gert Frølund Pedersen, and Shuai Zhang. "Dual-band shared aperture reflectarray and patch antenna arrayfor S-and Ka-bands." [J] IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation 70.3(2021): 2340-2345.). However, traditional antennas can generally only actively radiate or receive, and electromagnetic surfaces can only passively reflect, and cannot simultaneously achieve flexible beamforming and high-gain radiation. Summary of the invention
