A new analysis of an N-section polarizer composed of periodic arrays of wires is presented. The exact full-wave theory based on the mode-matching method is applied to analyze the structures. The validity and accuracy of the approach are verified by comparing the results with those obtained from an equivalent circuit model based on the transmission line theory and the authors' measurement of a manufactured prototype.
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.
