Wide-band circular polarization-keeping reflection mediated by metasurface

doi:10.1088/1674-1056/24/1/014202

Abstract In this paper, we show that circular polarization-keeping reflection can be achieved using reflective metasurfaces. The underlying physical mechanism of the polarization-keeping reflection is analyzed using a reflection matrix. A wideband circular polarization-keeping reflector is demonstrated using N-shaped resonators. Both the simulation and experiment results show that the polarization-keeping reflection can be achieved with a high efficiency larger than 98% over the frequency range from 9.2 GHz to 17.7 GHz for both incident left- and right-handed circularly polarized waves. Under oblique incidence, the bandwidth increases as the incident angle varies from 0° to 80°. Moreover, the co-polarization reflection is independent of the incident azimuth angles.

Keywords: polarization-keeping reflection left-hand (right-hand) circular polarization reflective metasurface axial ratio
