Abstract
In this paper, a ladder-shaped structure metasurface is proposed and investigated theoretically and experimentally, which can efficiently convert a linear polarized electromagnetic (EM) wave to its orthogonal component in a wideband range. The wideband reflective polarization convertibility is resulted from three resonance modes generated by the ladder-shaped structure MM for the normal incident waves. The mechanism of high-efficiency reflective polarization conversion is illustrated by surface current distribution and the destructive interference theory. The experimental measurement results show that the average polarization conversion ratio (PCR) is greater than 90% from 6.9 to 15.4GHz, which are in good agreement with the numerical simulations and theoretical predictions. The designed metasurface possesses the merits of wideband and high-efficiency, and thus has great application values in novel polarization-control devices.
