Broadband cross circularly polarized carpet invisibility cloak based on Pancharatnam–Berry phase reflective metasurface

Abstract

We present a broadband circularly polarized reflective metasurface carpet cloak. The metasurface unit cell is composed of two crossed H-shaped metal patterns. When the incident wave is left-handed circularly polarization (LCP), the metasurface can achieve high-efficiency cross-polarization conversion in the wide frequency range. The cross-polarization reflection efficiency is higher than 94%. By using the proposed cross-polarized reflection unit cell structure, the phase gradient metasurfaces based on the Pancharatnam–Berry phase principle is proposed, and a broadband reflective metasurface invisibility cloak is constructed. The simulation results show that when the LCP light is incident vertically, the proposed carpet cloak can significantly suppress the scattering and reconstruct the wavefront in the broadband frequency range.
