Abstract

Abstract

This paper presents an electromagnetic metasurface structure with partially polarization-conversion and partially reflection functions and its application to the Fabry-Perot (F-P) cavity antenna design with wideband, high-gain and Circularly Polarized (CP) features. On one hand, when the metasurface is backed by a reflection ground, it is able to show the partially polarization-conversion function and can be applied to the design of the CP radiation source of the F-P antenna. On the other hand, when the reflection ground is removed, the metasurface exhibits partially reflection performance, and thus it can be used as the Partially Reflection Surface (PRS). By placing a rectangle patch upon the Partially Polarization-Conversion Surface (PPCS) and loading parasitic patches and the PRS, the linearly-polarized radiation from the source patch can be transformed into the CP radiation. In addition, the impedance and Axial Ratio (AR) bandwidths of the antenna are both enhanced. The designed antenna is simulated, fabricated and measured. Measured results indicate that the impedance and AR bandwidths are 6.8 ～ 8.4 GHz (21.3%) and 6.8 ～ 8.3 GHz (19.9%), respectively. Besides, the peak realized gain reaches 10.5 dBi.
