  • 电磁波的极化调控在雷达探测、卫星通信等领域具有重要应用价值,转换效率高、工作频带宽、功能灵活可调的极化转换器件是当前的迫切需求与研究热点。本文提出了一种基于开关二极管的宽带多功能可重构极化转换超表面,通过独立调控所加载的两个二极管工作状态,可在不同频段实现线-圆极化(9.2-12.1 GHz)、圆-线极化(9.2-12.1 GHz)、线/圆-交叉极化(7.8-10.6 GHz/7.9-9.6 GHz)及线/圆极化保持(8.4-11.3 GHz)等多种极化特征的实时动态切换,突破了传统极化器件功能单一的局限。理论分析、仿真计算及实物测试结果表明,该超表面在所有模式下的工作效率均大于0.9,且在反射系数、轴比、极化转换效率等关键指标上一致性良好,充分验证了该设计的有效性与多功能集成特性。这种多模式、宽频带可重构的超表面设计方法有望在极化成像、抗干扰通信及雷达隐身等领域发挥潜在应用价值。

    Polarization manipulation of electromagnetic waves is of paramount importance in a wide spectrum of applications, including but not limited to radar detection, satellite communications, and advanced wireless systems. To date, the development of reconfigurable polarization conversion devices that simultaneously achieve high conversion efficiency, broad operating bandwidth, and high-level functional integration has become a critical unmet demand in this field. In this work, we design and experimentally demonstrate a broadband, multifunctional, reconfigurable polarization conversion metasurface integrated with PIN diodes. By independently tuning the ON/OFF states of the two loaded PIN diodes, we enable the proposed metasurface to achieve fully dynamic switching between multiple polarization manipulation functionalities, specifically linear-to-circular (LTC) polarization conversion, circular-to-linear (CTL) polarization conversion, linear/circular-to-cross (LC/CC) polarization conversion, and stable polarization retention.In detail, LTC and CTL polarization conversion are realized across the 9.2-12.1 GHz frequency band, while LC and CC polarization conversion are achieved within 7.8-10.6 GHz and 7.9-9.6 GHz, respectively. Meanwhile, stable polarization retention is obtained over the 8.4-11.3 GHz band. Notably, a polarization conversion ratio (PCR) higher than 0.9 is achieved for all the aforementioned operating modes. The underlying physical mechanism of the proposed polarization manipulation is further elucidated through eigenmode analysis and surface current distribution characterization. The results confirm that the multimode coupling between electric and magnetic resonances is the core contributor to the broadband and high-efficiency polarization conversion performance. Full-wave electromagnetic simulations show excellent consistency with the experimental measurements of the fabricated prototype, and this agreement rigorously verifies the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed metasurface design. With its broad bandwidth and versatile reconfigurable capabilities, this design holds great application prospects in emerging fields such as polarization imaging, anti-jamming wireless communications, and radar stealth technology.
