            Abstract : 
We have established a set of useful constraints that should be verified by thin metasurfaces made of perfect electric conductor. Mainly, we found that loci of transmission and reflection coefficients on the complex plane are circumferences. The properties shown in this paper may be useful for limiting the types of realistic responses desired for new metasurfaces.
