ABSTRACT In this letter, a radiation‐scattering‐integrated antenna designed according to the method of evolution from metasurface to antenna is presented. Firstly, specific metasurface units are arranged according to the cross‐type arrangement, and some of the units are excited as the radiating part of the antenna by adding probes and microstrip lines, and at the same time this part of the units is also an important part to realize the scattering function. Aiming at the inherent limitations of t
