Abstract
AbstractIn this paper, we propose a method of designing ultra-wideband single-layer metasurfaces for cross-polarization conversion, via the introduction of Fano resonances. By adding sub-branches onto the unit cell structure, the induced surface currents are disturbed, leading to coexistence of both bright and dark modes at higher frequencies. Due to the strong interaction between the two modes, Fano resonance can be produced. In this way, five resonances in all are produced by the single-layer metasurface. The first four are conventional and are generated by electric and magnetic resonances, whereas the fifth one is caused by Fano resonance, which further extends the bandwidth. A prototype was designed, fabricated and measured to verify this method. Both the simulated and measured results show that a 1:4.4 bandwidth can be achieved for both x- and y-polarized waves, with almost all polarization conversion ratio (PCR) above 90%. This method provides an effective alternative to metasurface bandwidth extension and can also be extended to higher bands such as THz and infrared frequencies.
