ABSTRACT:
The usable range of incidence angles for electromagnetic wave polarizers using arrays of polarizer elements is increased by introduction of a dielectric medium having a dielectric constant large enough to reduce the angle of wave incidence upon the polarizer elements. For example, arrays of 45 degree inclined meander-line polarizer elements are encased in a dielectric medium having a dielectric constant of about 3. The polarizer includes impedance matching layers at the surfaces of the dielectric medium to reduce reflections at those surfaces. The resulting polarizer is indicated to be usable to reciprocally convert an incident polarization to a desired polarization (e.g., from linear to circular polarization) for waves with incidence angles from zero to 70 degrees in any plane.
