A linear-to-circular polarization converter based on a second-order band-pass frequency selective surface
Source abstract
Abstract
In this work, we propose a linear-to-circular transmission polarization converter based on a second-order band-pass frequency selective surface (FSS). The FSS is composed of a three-layer aperture-coupled-patch structure, it can be interpreted as an array of antenna-filter-antenna modules, wherein the antenna is just a circularly polarized corner-truncated square microstrip antenna. A prototype of the proposed polarization converter is analyzed, fabricated and tested. Both simulation and experimental results show that the 3-dB axial ratio relative bandwidth of the polarization converter is over 30%, and the maximum insertion loss is only 1.87 dB; in addition, it can maintain good performance over a wide angular bandwidth at TE incidence.
