Axial Ratio Circular polarization conversion (CP) Axial Ratio Axial Ratio Circular polarization conversion (CP) of the proposed Metasurface is further established by the axial ratio (AR) of the reflected wave, 𝐴𝑅 = ( |𝑅𝑦𝑦| 2 +|𝑅𝑥𝑦| 2 +√𝑎 |𝑅𝑦𝑦| 2 +|𝑅𝑥𝑦| 2 −√𝑎 ) 0.5 Where a = (|Ryy| 4 + |Rxy| 4 + 2|Ryy| 2 |Rxy| 2 cos(2ΔØyx) and ∆∅𝐲𝐱 = ∅𝐲𝐲 − ∅𝐱𝐲 The reflection coefficient of the design surface is shown in Figure. The co-polarized and cross-polarized reflected waves have the same magnitude at 9.6 GHz and 17 GHz is 0.7. The surface behaves at these points as a CP which converts the linear EM wave into a circular EM wave. The numerical value of the axial ratio is shown in Figure. At 9.6 GHz and 17 GHz, the axial ratio value is lower than the 3dB dotted black line which shows that the design surface has the ability of CPC, to convert 9.6
Surface current distribution Charge flow over a surface || Metamaterial || Metasurface. Surface current distribution Charge flow over a surface we describe it by a surface current density. 𝐾 = 𝑑𝐼 𝑑𝑙 The word ‘k’ is the current per unit width, k will vary from point to point over the surface. When the flow of charge is distributed throughout a three-dimensional region we call it volume current density and represented by J. 𝐽 = 𝑑𝐼 𝑑𝑎 (current per unit area) The direction of the net current J on each side of the unit cell is given by a red arrow. The current distribution on the surface at the resonance frequency and the vector sum of the current distribution on top and bottom( the ground plane) are directed in opposite directions at resonance frequencies. The surface currents propagating in opposite directions generate circulating currents within the surfac
