Abstract

Abstract In this paper, a chiral metasurface is presented to effectively attain an ultra-broadband operation of asymmetric transmission with highly efficient cross-polarization conversion. The efficiency of the asymmetric transmission operation in the frequency band ranging from 6.5 to 13 GHz is above 70%. Additionally, in the frequency range from 3.7 to 14 GHz, the cross-polarization conversion realizes greater than 90% polarization conversion ratio. Asymmetric transmission as well as cross-polarization conversion show angular stability against the incident angle of electromagnetic waves up to 45°. To validate the simulation results, the fabricated chiral metasurface is tested and compared with simulation results. The concepts of asymmetric transmission and linear-polarization conversion are demonstrated and physically explained through the distributions of surface currents over metallic layers. This anticipated work has significant applications in telecommunications and radar, as well as potential use in equipment designed for the manipulation of electromagnetic waves.
