Design, Simulation and Experiment of Polarization Transformers Based on Twisted Chiral Metamaterials

Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a metamaterial polarization transformer which exhibits linear dichroism and linear conversion dichroism simultaneously. Through simulation and experiment studies in the microwave regime, it was found that only cross-polarization transmissions of x-polarized waves and co-polarization transmissions of y-polarized waves are allowed in the designed structures. As a result, the proposed metamaterials can transform any polarizations into y-polarizations with signal-to-noise ratios over 20 dB and transmissions over 0.6.
