DESIGN OF AN ANISOTROPIC POLARIZATION CONVERSION METASURFACE USING CIRCULAR SPLIT RING RESONATORS

Abstract

This study explores the design of an anisotropic polarization conversion metasurface. An untried design utilizing circular split ring resonator, having Silicon Dioxide (SiO2) as a substrate which is backed by a thin metallic plate of copper is proposed. The occurrence of polarization conversion by the metasurface in the frequency range of 8 – 9.5 Ghz and 11.8 to 12.5 Ghz is investigated. The findings demonstrate the ability to achieve polarization conversion holding a significant promise for future research since the ability to manipulate polarization of light waves open doors for advancements in display technologies, optical communications, and metamaterial designs with groundbreaking functionalities.
