Design of polarization convert metasurface element with high angle stability

Abstract

This paper proposed a high angle stability polarization convert metasurface element. The element has one dielectric substrate with the bending lines on the top layer and metallic ground on the bottom layer. A method of priority optimize polarization conversion ratio(PCR) under oblique incident angle based on impedance analysis is proposed to realize high angle stability. And the proposed element can convert linear polarization to orthogonality polarization at 60° incident angle with 17.8% relative bandwidth with more resonances compared with normal incident. Both the PCR and bandwidth of the proposed element increase from 0° to 45° incident angle which different with traditional polarization convert elements. A metasurface with the high angle stability element is fabricated and the measured results are in good agreement with simulated results.
