Design of Transmission Polarization Metasurface Converter

Article Preview

Abstract:

The transmission polarization metasurface converter is an effective method to realize the polarization manipulation of the transmission waves, and it is also the research hotspot of metasurfaces. A new broadband transmissive polarization converter was proposed based on the metasurfaces converted incident linearly polarized waves into circularly polarized waves of transmission. The top and bottom layers of the unit were axisymmetric metal patches. The top and bottom layers of metal patches were overlapped and the shape was like an arrow. The thickness of the substrate was 4mm. The polarization conversion mechanism of metasurface was illustrated by parameter optimization and current analysis. The simulation results show that when the metasurface works in the frequency band of 6.71GHz~8.45GHz, the linearly polarized incident wave can be converted into a circularly polarized transmitted wave with axial ratio less than 3dB, and the relative bandwidth can reach 23%. The designed polarization converter has a simple structure and the potential application value in electromagnetic wave control of radio frequency devices.
