Abstract

This paper proposes an aperture-coupled antenna with an ultrathin, single-layer metasurface for linear-to-circular (LP–CP) polarization conversion. The unit cell of the metasurface consists of a hexagonal ring surrounded by a square ring printed on both sides of a dielectric substrate for wideband LP-CP conversion. A patch antenna excited by an H-shaped slot aperture uses a 5 × 5 array of the metasurface as a superstrate. Simulated and measured radiation patterns of the proposed antenna are in good agreement. Measured S11 and axial ratio bandwidth of the proposed antenna are 21.5% and 19.23% respectively. Boresight radiation gain is around 10 dBic over 9.5 GHz to 11.5 GHz.
