How to design metamaterial in CST || An Ultra-thin Wide-Angle Cross Polarization Conversion Metasurface
An Ultra-thin Wide-Angle Cross Polarization Conversion Metasurface In this article, a bandwidth-enhanced metasurface has been designed using a single circular split ring as a unit cell on the top surface of a metal-backed FR4 substrate. The structure behaves as a cross-polarization conversion (CPC) metasurface over full width at half maxima (FWHM) bandwidth of 12.94 GHz ranging from 9.44 GHz to 22.38 GHz. The proposed CPC metasurface maintains bandwidth enhancement up to 45° incident angles under both TE and TM polarizations. The structure is ultra-thin (~ /11.4 with respect to the center frequency) in nature. Due to its compact nature, studies on metasurface have become a hot topic of research as its application toward frequency selective surface (FSS). These FSS structures have been proposed as filters, absorbers, polarizers, etc. Recently, metasurface-based cross-polarization conversion (CPC) structures ...
