Abstract

In this paper, both linear cross-polarization conversion (CPC) and linear-to-circular or circular-to-linear polarization conversion based on a single reflective anisotropic metasurface are realized and experimentally demonstrated. The multifunctional CPC metasurface in the frequency range of 5.9-6.4 GHz and 8.7-17.7 GHz has a fractional band of 68.2%, and the efficiency reaches almost 100% under plasma resonance. In addition, the metasurface acts as a high efficiency circular-polarizer in the range of 6.7–8.4 GHz. Moreover, the polarization transforming functionality of the structure is stable for the change of incident angle for both x-polarized or transverse-electric (TE) and y-polarized or transverse-magnetic (TM) illumination up to 45. It can be seen that the anticipated hypersurface has potential applications in reflector antenna, satellite communication and radar. © 2023 Elsevier B.V.
