Versatile Cross-Polarization Conversion Chiral Metasurface for Linear and Circular Polarizations

摘要

In this work, first the necessary conditions for a versatile cross-polarization conversion meta-atom that operates both for linear and circular cross polarizations are discussed. Based on these, a versatile chiral metasurface cross-polarization converter is proposed. The correspondence between its physical geometry and polarization domain characteristics is studied. To verify the design concept, a prototype is fabricated and measured. An effective vertical and horizontal linear cross-polarization conversion is achieved from 29.3 to 38.8 GHz (27.90%) and from 34.0 to 36.6 GHz (7.36%), respectively. Furthermore, the proposed converter also achieves circular polarization handedness rotation from 34.5 to 36.6 GHz (5.91%).
