Abstract
In this Letter, a broadband and wide-angle linear polarization (LP) converter based on a 3D resonator for cross-polarization conversion (CPC) is presented. The designed structure performs a CPC with a polarization conversion ratio (PCR) of more than 90% in the frequency range 16.32 to 34.12 GHz, corresponding to a relative frequency bandwidth of 70.6%. Moreover, the presented structure possesses broad angle stability and miniaturized configuration. The efficiency of CPC remains over 90% in the operational frequency band with the incident angles up to 40°, and the cell size is 0.18λ for the lowest frequency of the CPC operational band. The proposed 3D structure is fabricated using the multi-material hybrid microdroplet jetting modeling (MHMJM) technique, and the experiments agree closely with the simulated results. Compared with traditional polarization converters based on a planar resonant structure, the proposed design shows excellent bandwidth, wide-angle performance, and miniaturization advantages.
