Efficient generation of a dual-polarized vortex wave with an ultrathin Huygens' metasurface
Abstract:
In this paper, an ultrathin Huygens' metasurface is designed for generating an orbital angular momentum (OAM) beam. The Huygens' metasurface is a double-layered metallic structure on a single-layer PCB. Based on induced magnetism, the Huygens' metasurface achieves the abilities of available near-complete transmission phase shift around 28 GHz. According to the principle of vortex wave generation, a Huygens' metasurface is designed, implemented and measured. The simulated and measured results show that the dual-polarized OAM transmitted waves with the mode l = 1 can be efficiently generated on a double-layered Huygens' metasurface around 28 GHz. The measured peak gain is 23.4 dBi at 28 GHz, and the divergence angle is 3.5°. Compared with conventional configurations of OAM transmitted beam generation, this configuration has the advantages of high gain, narrow divergence angle, and low assembly cost. This investigation will provide a new perspective for engineering application of OAM beams.
