Abstract

This paper presents a simple method to realize a circular polarizer by inserting rods arranged helically in the cylindrical waveguide. In the proposed polarizer, the rods are installed to excite the electric fields on the perpendicular axis to the input field. In addition, the rod locations create a 90⁰ phase difference between two perpendicular axes to convert the polarization from linear to circular. In the proposed structure, the axial ratio is smaller than 0.4 dB and the phase difference is about 90⁰ at 10 GHz frequency. In addition, the reflection coefficients are better than -14 dB for both E_x and E_y polarizations at the same frequency. Also, this structure is very compact compared to similar structures. Furthermore, this is made only of metal. Therefore, there is no dielectric loss and it has high endurance. The validation results have a good agreement with the simulation.
