摘要
In this paper, we show that circular polarization-keeping reflection can be achieved using reflective metasurfaces. The underlying physical mechanism of the polarization-keeping reflection is analyzed using a reflection matrix. A wideband circular polarization-keeping reflector is demonstrated using N-shaped resonators. Both the simulation and experiment results show that the polarization-keeping reflection can be achieved with a high efficiency larger than 98% over the frequency range from 9.2 GHz to 17.7 GHz for both incident left-and right-handed circularly polarized waves. Under oblique incidence, the bandwidth increases as the incident angle varies from 0 degrees to 80 degrees. Moreover, the co-polarization reflection is independent of the incident azimuth angles.
