Abstract
- A novel high-efficiency polarization-selective bifunctional metasurface (MS) is proposed, which can realize cross-polarized focusing transmission for left-handed circular polarization (LHCP) incidence and co-polarized specular reflection for right-handed circular polarization (RHCP) incidence. As an example of its practical application, the designed MS is applied to form an RHCP folded transmitarray antenna (FTA) whose feed source (FS) is integrated with the bottom metallic surface. To prove the concept, a prototype of millimeter-wave (MMW) FTA based on the proposed MS is numerically simulated, physically implemented, and experimentally measured. The measured results coincide well with the simulated ones, showing a peak gain of 23.6 dBi at 27.7 GHz with the peak aperture efficiency of 43.1%, a 3 dB gain bandwidth of 15.8% (25–29.3 GHz), and a 3 dB axial-ratio (AR) bandwidth over 29.6%. The proposed high-performance antenna has the advantages of low profile, high efficiency, integration design, and broad bandwidth, which may have promising applications in the fifth-generation MMW communication system. The proposed MS and its application to high-gain antenna may promote the uses of MS to real-world applications in satellite communication, radar detection, and wireless communication.
