Abstract
In this paper, a novel frequency-selective surface (FSS) with polarization selection and dual-band polarization conversion characteristics is proposed for terahertz applications. The FSS is composed of two layers of metallic periodic arrays separated by a polymer dielectric spacer. The top and bottom arrays provide bandpass and bandstop characteristics for TE- and TM-polarized incidences, respectively. Geometrical parameters of the top and bottom arrays are tuned such that the phase differences of the TE and TM transmissions at the lower ( f 1) and upper ( f 2) crossover frequency points are −90° and +90°, respectively. Therefore, for normal incidence, a 45° linearly polarized incident wave is converted into a right-handed circularly polarized and left-handed circularly polarized transmitted wave at f 1 and f 2, respectively. Equivalent circuit models are established to explain the operation principle of the proposed FSS. A prototype is fabricated using micromachining with its transmission characteristics, namely, polarization selectivity and dual-band polarization conversion, validated by time-domain and frequency-domain measurements.
