Thus, in this letter, a compact dual-polarized endfire DRA array was proposed, and printed circuit board technology is used for high integration. The antenna element is initially designed to incorporate two orthogonal DRA modes, corresponding to vertical polarization (VP) and horizontal polarization (HP) for operation. Furthermore, to enhance the bandwidth of both polarizations, the corresponding cavity mode and slot mode are introduced, which are combined with the corresponding DRA mode for wideband work. VP and HP elements share the same structure, showing a compact size. Based on the element, a four-element array is designed and fabricated. The test results show that an overlapping bandwidth of 24.1 GHz to 29.6 GHz is realized. Besides, a peak gain of 10.3 dBi and 9.8 dBi for VP and HP is achieved, respectively. Moreover, both VP and HP enable beam scanning. From the above observed characteristics, it can be seen that the proposed design is promising for future 5G mm-Wave terminal applications.","PeriodicalId":51059,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters","volume":"24 5","pages":"1288-1292"},"PeriodicalIF":3.7,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143913379","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A five-layered circular polarization selective metasurface (CPSM) is introduced to realize the path folding for a CP source. The CPSM element consists of two back-to-back connected CP antennas with a slant I-shaped slot on the ground plane for electromagnetic wave coupling. A 2 × 2 patch array with a cross-shaped strip embedded in the center is designed for CP response. To enhance angular response stability, square patches are stacked on both the top and bottom sides. A metallic post through all layers is placed in the center to balance the transmission and axial ratio (AR) bandwidth. The proposed CPSM element exhibits superior AR and amplitude performance under larger-angle oblique incidence which promises the folded reflectarray antenna achieves excellent aperture efficiency along with substantial AR and gain bandwidth. To verify the proposed CPSM, a 40 × 40 folded reflectarray is presented. The measured results show a 3 dB AR bandwidth of 20.3% and a 3 dB gain bandwidth of 15.13%.
