Acoustic metasurfaces can be used to control acoustic waves, but generally they focus on phase control which limits potential functionality. Here, Ghaffarivardavagh et al. analytically develop a horn-like space coiling acoustic metasurface to control both the amplitude and phase of acoustic radiation patterns.
