Miniaturized Active-Frequency Selective Surfaces for Low-Power Internet of Things Devices.

With the proliferation of smart devices, the Internet of Things (IoT) is rapidly expanding. This study proposes a miniaturized controllable metamaterial with low control voltage for achieving low-power and compact designs in IoT node devices. Operating at a target frequency of 2.

Broadband Circularly Polarized Conical Corrugated Horn Antenna Using a Dielectric Circular Polarizer.

In this paper, a broadband left-handed circularly polarized (LHCP) corrugated horn antenna using a dielectric circular polarizer is proposed. Circularly polarized (CP) waves are generated by inserting an improved dovetail-shaped dielectric plate into the circular waveguide. Compared with the traditional dovetail-shaped circular polarizer, the proposed improved dovetail-shaped circular polarizer has a wider impedance bandwidth and 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth.

Ultrathin dual-mode vortex beam generator based on anisotropic coding metasurface.

In this paper, an anisotropic coding metasurface is proposed to achieve dual-mode vortex beam generator by independently manipulating the orthogonally linearly polarized waves. The metasurface is composed of ultrathin single-layer ground-backed Jerusalem cross structure, which can provide complete and independent control of the orthogonally linearly polarized incident waves with greatly simplified design process. As proof of concept, a metasurface is designed to generate vortex beams with different topological charges under orthogonal polarizations operating at 15 GHz.
