چکیده
Abstract: Polarization converters play an important role in antennas and radar. Electromagnetic band gap materials enable manufacture of polarization converters which are : low cost, low profile, light weight and have large bandwidth. In this paper mushroom-like electromagnetic band gap materials are considered for polarization converters. The theory is reviewed. A simple design procedure is developed. A simple procedure for improving the design is proposed. Three design converters are designed to convert (1) linear polarization to linear perpendicular, (2) linear polarization to linear parallel and (3) linear polarization to circular.

Electromagnetic Band Gap Materials Simplify the Structure of Dual Polarized Satellite Communications Antennas
The dual polarized reflector antenna used for satellite communications consists of two reflectors; one reflector is solid, the other consists of metal grid. The structure is complicated and the bandwidth is narrow. This antenna structure can be simplified by removing the metal grid and using the solid reflector together with a thin electromagnetic band gap material pasted to the surface of the ...

Electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structures exhibit unique electromagnetic properties that have led to a wide range of applications in antenna and propagation fields [1], [2]. There are two major advantages associated with EBG ground planes. First, such structures exhibit the possibility of creating a perfect magnetic conductor (PMC) because of their in-phase reflection phase characteristics. Thi...
