The unit-cell of the proposed design consists of triple-arrow resonant design printed on a grounded FR4 substrate. Excellent cross-conversion is achieved over a broad frequency range (8.0-18.50 GHz) with polarization conversion efficiency higher than 90%. The proposed design has a large fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 80% due to three resonances occurring in the band. The polarization response is angularly stable with respect to oblique incidences with incidence angles up to 45°. The proposed design has been fabricated and experimentally validated. The measurement results are in good agreement with the simulation results.PloS onee0280469https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9858438biostudies-literatureA single-layer, wideband and angularly stable metasurface based polarization converter for linear-to-linear cross-polarization conversion.PMC9858438Zaki HZaidi SAARashid ATahir FAMurtaza MfalseA single-layer, wideband and angularly stable metasurface based polarization converter for linear-to-linear cross-polarization conversion.In this article, a single-layer metasurface based reflector design is proposed for linear-to-linear cross-polarization conversion in microwave frequency range.
