Abstract

This article present wideband Metamaterial Cross Polarizer (MCP) structure for C and X band applications. The proposed structure consists of wheel shaped associated with meander line and triangular shaped patches having overall dimension of 18 × 18 mm. The anisotropic design patchis a single metallic layer (Cu) placed at the top of dielectric substrate FR-4 and backed by a ground also consists of metal layer (Cu). A wideband Polarization Conversion Ratio (PCR) above 0.8 magnitudes is achieved having bandwidth of 8.1 GHz ranging from 3.43 to 11.53 GHz and it works for C (4–8 GHz) and X (8–12 GHz) band approximately. The bandwidth of PCR at Full Width Half Maxima (FWHM) achieved is 8.24 GHz (3.60–11.84 GHz). Three distinct PCR peaks are observed at 4.2, 5.98, and 9.46 GHz with PCR magnitudes at 91.07, 96.39, and 99.76% respectively. Analysis of polarization conversion phenomena at these three frequencies is described with the help of current and electric field distribution. The proposed anisotropic structure is examined at different angles under normal and oblique incident. The simulation is performed through ANSYS HFSS (19.1), fabrication is done on substrate FR-4 using printed circuit board (PCB). The simulated and measured curves obtained for reflection coefficient and PCR are similar to one another with minute difference due to fabrication tolerances.
