By controlling the surface reactance of impenetrable gradient metasurfaces it is possible to shape phase front reflected waves. This approach similar that used in conventional reflectarray antennas, where reflection from each array element properly tuned. However, such phase-gradient reflectors always produce some parasitic scattering into unwanted directions. Here we present our recent results on non-local (spatially dispersive) which do not have this drawback and demonstrate perfect...
