This study introduces a dual-band cross-polarization converter that transforms linearly polarized waves into cross-polarized waves at 10.36 GHz and 11.62 GHz. The device achieves high conversion efficiency with independent frequency tuning, validated by simulation and measurement.
Area of Science:
- Electromagnetics and Metamaterials
- Antenna and Microwave Engineering
Background:
- Polarization conversion is crucial for advanced electromagnetic applications.
- Existing converters often lack dual-band operation or independent frequency control.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose and demonstrate a novel dual-band cross-polarization converter.
- To achieve high polarization conversion ratio (PCR) and transmittance at distinct frequencies.
Main Methods:
- Design of a transmissive multi-layered unit cell structure inspired by aperture-coupled transmitarrays.
- Electromagnetic simulation, fabrication, and experimental measurement of the proposed device.
Main Results:
- The converter operates effectively at two distinct frequency bands: 10.36 GHz and 11.62 GHz.
- Achieved cross-polarized transmittance exceeding 0.93 with a polarization conversion ratio near 100%.
- Demonstrated independent tunability of the two working frequencies.
Conclusions:
- The proposed dual-band cross-polarization converter offers high performance and independent frequency control.
- The design is validated through comprehensive simulation, fabrication, and measurement, confirming its practical viability.
