Efficient ultrawideband linear polarization conversion metasurface based on Φ-shaped

Abstract

Polarization is a property of transverse waves that specify the geometrical orientation of the oscillations, and it is of significant importance to control the polarization of waves at the information storage and processing. In this paper, we propose a new type of polarization conversion metasurface based on the [Formula: see text]-shaped structure in reflection mode. An ultrawideband cross-polarization conversion is obtained. The simulated results show that this metasurface can rotate the polarized direction of the linearly polarized electromagnetic wave by 90[Formula: see text] and the polarization conversion efficiency reaches up to 90% in the ultrawideband from 6.9 GHz to 22.2 GHz. The relative bandwidth is 105%. In addition, the experimental results of polarization conversion efficiency are in good agreement with the simulations. With the advantages of high conversion efficiency, ultrawide operating band and the simple geometric structure, the application of this polarization conversion metasurface structure can be extended to the frequency range of terahertz or even the visible light.
