A crossed dodecagonal deployable polarizer on textile and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) substrates

Single layered swastika-shaped flexible linear-to-circular polarizer using textiles for S-band application

“…The measurement setup is illustrated in Figure , and is defined based on the procedure described in Refs. and .…”

“…Due to these reasons, various linear‐to‐circular polarizers have been proposed for different applications, including satellite communication . These polarizers are fundamentally formed using frequency‐selective surface unit cells in the form of loops, meander lines, dipoles; and also with metamaterial‐based structures or resonators.…”

“…Their operating frequencies include the Ka‐band, X‐band, and several other frequency bands to cater different applications, including space application. However, very few researches are focused on designing linear‐to‐circular polarizers for S‐band applications, except for our initial work in Ref . Moreover, most of the reported polarizers listed in Table are made using rigid, high density materials, with planar array of unit cells.…”

This hinders its implementation in a deployable format.…”
