Abstract
In this paper, an ultrathin dual-resonant reflective polarization converter is proposed to obtain customized bandwidths using precise space-filling technique to its top geometry. The unit cell of the dual-resonant prototype consists of conductive square ring with two diagonally arranged slits, supported by metal-backed thin dielectric layer. It offers two narrow bands with fractional bandwidths of 3.98 and 6.65% and polarization conversion ratio (PCR) of 97.16 and 98.87% at 4.52 and 6.97 GHz, respectively. The resonances are brought in proximity to each other by changing the length of surface current paths of the two resonances. By virtue of this mechanism, two polarization converters with two different types of bandwidths are obtained. One polarization converter produces a full-width at half-maxima PCR bandwidth of 34%, whereas another polarization converter produces a 90% PCR bandwidth of 19%. All the proposed polarization converters are insensitive to wide variations of incident angle for both TE- and TM-polarized incident waves. Measured results show good agreement with the numerically simulated results.
