Multi-Band Multi-Functional Metasurface-Based Reflective Polarization Converter for Linear and Circular Polarizations

In this paper, we present a simple metasurface based multiband reflective polarization converter for both linear and circular polarizations. We show that, on one hand, the proposed structure can convert the polarization of linearly polarized waves to the orthogonal direction at four frequency bands...

description In this paper, we present a simple metasurface based multiband reflective polarization converter for both linear and circular polarizations. We show that, on one hand, the proposed structure can convert the polarization of linearly polarized waves to the orthogonal direction at four frequency bands &#x2014; 4.3 GHz, 7.2 GHz, 12.3 GHz, and 15.15 GHz. On the other hand, this metasurface can achieve linear to circular or circular to linear polarization conversion at 4 GHz, 4.75&#x2013;5.95 GHz, 8.35&#x2013;8.8 GHz and 14.35&#x2013;14.6 GHz frequency bands. Such multiband operation originates from multiple resonances occurring in the structure based on meandered square ring and diagonal split strip resonator. Moreover, the polarization transforming capability is stable for oblique incident angle up to <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$15^{o}$ </tex-math></inline-formula>, for both transverse electric (TE) and transverse-magnetic (TM) polarizations. Furthermore, the proposed structure acts as a meta-reflector that maintains the handedness of the circular polarization upon reflection.
