This article presents a technique for transforming the polarization of a pyramidal horn antenna by adding multiple layers of frequency-selective surfaces in front of the aperture, in order to rotate the direction of the electric field. Thus, two orthogonal components with the same magnitude, phase-shifted by 90°, are generated. Each frequency-selective surface consists of skewed λ/2 dipoles. Compared to other similar structures, our antenna system combines the field radiated from the horn aperture with the field scattered by parallel frequency-selective surface structures spaced on the same principle as that for designing a Yagi-Uda antenna array. The proposed horn antenna with multiple frequency-selective surfaces can be used as a feed element for a parabolic reflector antenna for maritime satellite communication systems in the X-band or in the lower part of the Ku band, or as part of a sensor for finding the direction of arrival of a wave, in order to orientate an antenna system. The concept was successfully validated on the basis of simulation and measurements. The proposed technique provides a close to unit axial ratio together with a 3 dB increase in gain compared to the conventional horn antenna, at low manufacturing costs. |
