Abstract
A novel structurally simple and symmetrical element for the design of polarization-universal metasurface (PUM) lens antennas is proposed, which demonstrates exceptional applicability for millimeter-wave communication. The PUM lens consists of four layers with circular patch components inserted in the outer ring distributing themselves periodically across the layers. The PUM’s phase shift is independent on the polarization feeding antenna since the symmetry of the element. The linear polarization (LP) and circular polarization (CP) antennas are used to verify the polarization versatility of the PUM. The simulated and measured results reveal that the PUM lens can increase the gain across the frequency band while maintaining the polarization of the antenna. The proposed PUM lens considerably reduces design complexity, which is suitable for the various communication applications.
期刊介绍:
AEÜ is an international scientific journal which publishes both original works and invited tutorials. The journal''s scope covers all aspects of theory and design of circuits, systems and devices for electronics, signal processing, and communication, including:
signal and system theory, digital signal processing
network theory and circuit design
information theory, communication theory and techniques, modulation, source and channel coding
switching theory and techniques, communication protocols
optical communications
microwave theory and techniques, radar, sonar
antennas, wave propagation
AEÜ publishes full papers and letters with very short turn around time but a high standard review process. Review cycles are typically finished within twelve weeks by application of modern electronic communication facilities.
