PublicationDeployable Linear-to-Circular Polarizer Using PDMS Based on Unloaded and Loaded Circular FSS Arrays for Pico-Satellites( 2019)
;Hidayath Mirza ;Toufiq Md Hossain ;Ping Jack Soh ;Mohd Faizal Jamlos ;Muhammad Nazrin Ramli ; ;Emad S. HassanSen YanIn this paper, flexible and deployable double-sided linear-to-circular polarizers designed on polydimethylsiloxane are proposed for the first time to the best of our knowledge. ShieldIt textile is used as the conducting element of the two designs based on two different unit cell arrays: a loaded circular patch unit cell or an unloaded circular patch unit cell, both backed by a generic rectangular element on its reverse side. This is in contrast to conventional frequency-selective structure-based linear-to-circular polarizers implemented using rigid substrates, which are multi-layered and requires inter-layer physical spacing. This complicates their implementation using flexible substrates and in a deployable format. Upon implementation of this double-sided polarizer, their final performances are evaluated in terms of the phase difference, conversion efficiency, 3-dB axial ratio (AR), and ellipticity bandwidth (from 40° to 45°). Measurements indicated good agreements with simulations, and both structures exhibited more than 90% of conversion efficiency from 2.34 to 3 GHz (for the loaded circular unit cell) and from 2.36 to 3 GHz (for the unloaded circular unit cell). In terms of ellipticity, a bandwidth of 8.67% is observed for the unloaded design and 13.82% for the loaded design. The unloaded structure exhibited a fractional 3-dB AR bandwidth of 36.36% (from 1.98 to 2.86 GHz) in simulations, and 32.64 % (from 2.00 to 2.78 GHz) when evaluated experimentally. Conversely, the loaded design showed only 12.58%. An equivalent circuit model is proposed and validated via a comparison between the circuit and full-wave simulations. Finally, the performances of these polarizers are also assessed under different bending conditions due to the use of flexible materials, prior to the proposal of a suitable deployment mechanism. -
PublicationA flexible wearable linear-to-circular polarizer for GNSS application(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2020)
;Hidayath Mirza ;Ping Jack Soh ;Rais Ahmad Sheikh ; ;Toufiq M HossainSen YanThis paper presents a single-layered fabric-based flexible linear-to-circular polarizer for GNSS application operating at 1.575 GHz. The structure presented here is based on a square aperture with an E-shaped patch structure on the reverse side. The size of the structure is 0. 21λ0 ×0. 26λ0 × 0. 01λ0 The complete structure is flexible, and the frequency of operation is centered at 1.575 GHz, with a minimum value of the axial ratio achieved is 0.06 dB. The 3 dB axial ratio fractional bandwidth is 3.81% (1.54-1.60 GHz) and the conversion efficiency fractional bandwidth covering 90% is 5.09% (1.53 to 1.61 GHz).
