ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVE POLARIZER SCREEN

摘要

A polarizer screen for a satellite communications terminal, comprising a plurality of layers separated by dielectric material, each layer having a grid of parallel metal strips and a periodic distribution of interleaved metal dipoles, wherein a first set of dipoles is arranged to be perpendicular to the metal strips and a second set of dipoles is arranged to be parallel to the metal strips such that any linearly polarized electromagnetic waves that pass through the screen are converted into orthogonal circular polarization in different frequency bands.
