Theoretical and Experimental Verification of 90° Polarization Converter Based on Chiral Metamaterials
Source abstract
Abstract
In this paper, a chiral metamaterial (CMM) has been proposed theoretically and experimentally to realize a 90° polarization converter, whose maximum cross-polarization conversion efficiency is nearly to 1. In 0.4 GHz bandwidth around 16.8 GHz, a 90° polarization angle and negligible ellipticity can be obtained, with a minimum cross-polarization conversion efficiency of 0.96. The mechanism of the cross-polarization conversion is explained by studying the surface current and electric field of the structure. Finally, through parameter inversion, the parameter characteristics of the structure are studied.
