    Area of Science:

    • Electromagnetics and Metamaterials
    • Antenna Engineering
    • Wireless Communication Technology

    Background:

    • Metasurfaces offer unique electromagnetic properties for antenna design.
    • Achieving ultra-wideband polarization conversion and low radar cross-section (RCS) simultaneously is challenging.
    • Existing antenna designs often lack integration of radiation and scattering control.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a novel dumbbell-type polarization conversion metasurface (PCM).
    • To design and demonstrate low-profile, low-RCS multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) and array antennas using the developed PCM.
    • To validate the performance of the designed antennas for wireless communication applications.

    Main Methods:

    • Design of a dumbbell-type PCM for line-to-line polarization conversion across an ultra-wideband (UWB) spectrum (7.63-18.80 GHz).
    • Integration of the PCM with a slot feed to create a low-profile metasurface antenna based on characteristic mode analysis (CMA).
    • Development of low-RCS MIMO and array antennas utilizing the checkerboard scattering properties of the PCM.

    Main Results:

    • The PCM achieved line-to-line polarization conversion from 7.63 GHz to 18.80 GHz.
    • A low-profile MIMO antenna (1.27×1.27×0.07λ₀³) exhibited >26 dB isolation and 5.51-6.06 GHz bandwidth.
    • A low-profile array antenna (2.55×2.55×0.07λ₀³) achieved 12-15.6 dBi gain over 5.63-6.12 GHz.
    • Both antennas demonstrated 6-23 dB RCS reduction in X- and Ku-bands.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed PCM effectively enables UWB polarization conversion.
    • The developed low-profile, low-RCS antennas show promising performance for 5.8 GHz WLAN.
    • The integrated design approach offers potential for advanced antenna systems with reduced radar signatures.
