Dual-Polarization Multi-Functional Metasurface for Wireless Communications

In this paper, a reconfigurable multi-functional metasurface with dual-polarization is presented for operating reflective wave independently. In this design, a simple structure is applied to realize multi-function characteristics, where is composed of the cross patch printed on the thin substrate, four pin diodes and the controlling devices. To show the design performance, the metasurface is simulated to verify the application, which can achieve dual-polarization beam steering, linear polarization (LP) converting to right-hand circular polarization (RHCP) and left-hand circular polarization (LHCP), respectively. Therefore, the proposed design can be the candidate of the terminal device for future wireless communication due to the multi-functionality and reconfigurability.
