title: Designing perfect linear polarization converters using perfect electric and magnetic conducting surfaces.
abstract: We propose a kind of general framework for the design of a perfect linear polarization converter that works in the transmission mode. Using an intuitive picture that is based on the method of bi-directional polarization mode decomposition, it is shown that when the device under consideration simultaneously possesses two complementary symmetry planes, with one being equivalent to a perfect electric conducting surface and the other being equivalent to a perfect magnetic conducting surface, linear polarization conversion can occur with an efficiency of 100% in the absence of absorptive losses. The proposed framework is validated by two design examples that operate near 10 GHz, where the numerical, experimental and analytic results are in good agreements.
