  ABSTRACT: Coding metasurface draws amounts of research interests due to its potential for achieving sophisticated functions in wave manipulation by using simple logical unit cells with out-of-phase responses. In this paper, we present a novel acoustic coding metasurface structure for underwater sound scattering reduction based on pentamode metamaterials. The metasurface is composed of two types of hexagonal pentamode unit cells with phase responses of 0 and π respectively. The units are arranged in random 1-bit coding sequence to achieve low-scattering underwater acoustic stealth effect. Full-wave simulation results are in good accordance with the theoretical expectation. The optimized arrangement resulted in the distribution of scattered underwater acoustic waves and suppression of the far field scattering coefficient over a wide range of incident angles. We show that pentamode-based coding metasurface provides an efficient scheme to achieve underwater acoustic stealth by ultrathin structures.
