Abstract
Circular polarization conversion metasurfaces (CPCMs) can convert an incident linearly-polarized (LP) wave into an transmitted circularly-polarized (CP) wave, which are widely used in CP antenna designs. Compared to the conversional CP antennas, the CPCMs combined with LP antennas are easily achieved, without complicated feeding structures. The existing CPCMs have narrow bandwidths or low incident angle stability. In this presentation, a wideband and wide-angle CPCM based on a single-layer dielectric substrate will be proposed, whose bandwidth can cover the operation band of the K-/Ka-band satellite communications. After that, a dual-band CPCM with the element consisted of connected Jerusalem crosses and “I”-type dipoles will be introduced, which shows wide axial ratio bandwidth in the K and Ka bands. Furthermore, the dual-band element can be improved by placing orthogonal polarization structures on different layers, making the small element size and the low cross-polarization level respectively. The modified dual-band element-based CPCM has the wide operation band and the high incident angle stability.
