The periodic design works in a dual-operation mode as a half-wave plate (cross-polarizer) and a quarter-wave plate (circular-polarizer) over multiple frequency bands. The unit-cell is comprised of coupled D-shaped resonators printed on a low-cost FR-4 substrate offering cross-polarization conversion (above −3 dB) over three frequency bands (6.45–6.87, 9.94–11.34, and 15.99–18.60 GHz) with cross conversion efficiency higher than 90%. Moreover, the proposed metasurface can also work as a linear to circular polarizer over three bands (6.0–6.25, 7.35–9.05, and 12.28–15.18 GHz). The design is further shown to be angularly stable for incidence angles up to 30°. The proposed design has been validated experimentally after fabrication.
