Figure 5. The measurement of the linear-to-circular polarization conversion with a deflection angle.

Figure 5

(a) The sketch of the measurement system. A linear-polarized horn antenna is used as excitation to generate linear-polarized normally incident waves, and another linear-polarized horn antenna is placed having an angle of θ with metasurface as receiver to receive the circular-polarized reflected waves by rotating 360 degrees of the horn. (b) The photograph of the fabricated metasurface. (c) The measured far-field patterns of the reflected waves at 10 GHz, which show that both horizontal (x) and vertical (y) polarized waves are all deflected to θ = 24°. (d) The measured polarization pattern of the reflected waves at 10 GHz.
