    Abstract: An antenna assembly, comprising: a single substrate having a lower surface and an upper surface; an isotropic source of spherical electromagnetic waves configured for emitting surfaces waves on the upper surface; a ground plane formed on the lower surface comprising a metallic deposit on the entire lower surface; an antenna element formed on the upper surface comprising a periodic patterns metasurface formed on the substrate by a texture of subwavelength patches, the antenna element comprising: a first-scale metasurface defined by a two-dimensional alternation of metal or metamaterial patches having closely spaced vertices in each contiguous element to form small gaps; a plurality of switches disposed in the gap between the vertexes of the patches, each switch permitting to connect several patches through the vertexes for defining a second-scale metasurface having a pattern thus forming the antenna element; wherein each patch has dimensions which do not depend on the frequency of the waves to be radiated,
