In this work, we demonstrate theoretically and experimentally a technique allowing us to realize a polarization-insensiti¨e wa¨elength con¨ersion with an output beam whose polarization state is unique and linear for all input signal polarization states. ᮊ ABSTRACT: A circularly polarized cylindrical dielectric resonance antenna excited by two conformal strips of unequal lengths is studied experimentally. By using unequal strip lengths, two nearly degenerate orthogonal modes are excited and circularly polarized fields are generated. The measured return loss, axial ratio, radiation pattern, and antenna gain of the configuration are discussed. ᮊ
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
