We present a novel antireflection approach utilizing planar metamaterials on dielectric surfaces. It consists of a split-ring resonator array and a metal mesh separated by a thin dielectric spacer. The coating dramatically reduces the reflectance and greatly enhances the transmittance over a wide range of incidence angles and a narrow bandwidth. Antireflection is achieved by tailoring the magnitude and phase shifts of waves reflected and transmitted at metamaterial boundaries, resulting in a destructive interference in reflection and constructive interference in transmission. The coating can be very thin and there is no requirement for the spacer dielectric constant.
