Abstract

A multiband resonator element which, on the one hand, compensates the components of an electromagnetic field radiated from its phase centre, located on the axis of symmetry of the resonator, to control the polarization purity of a radiating element. On the other hand, it enables the selection of the electromagnetic fields reflected and transmitted on a frequency- and multiband-selective surface. In this sense, this is an innovative element that enables the design of directive radiating elements and with an axial ratio for its circular polarization less than or equal to 1.5 dB for all the angles belonging to the hemisphere centred on broadside. Thus, it can be used in the design of reflectarrays, transmitarrays and any dichroic multiband surface, likewise on metamaterial surfaces.

Claims (7)

1. A cavity filter comprising a plurality of resonator elements, wherein each resonator element comprises a plurality of stubs adjusted in frequency and arranged according to a geometric shape to be selected from an ellipse or a rectangle, wherein each resonator element is disposed on a layer of dielectric material and separated from each other by a layer of foam-type material or air, wherein the dielectric materials include a variable dielectric constant to change the working frequency or its phase response, to perform low-pass, high-pass, band-pass or multiband-pass filters.

2. A radiating element formed by the filter cavity according to claim 1 for single or multiband applications.

3. A radiating element comprising a resonator element, wherein the resonator element comprises a plurality of stubs adjusted in frequency and arranged according to a geometric shape to be selected from an ellipse or a rectangle, wherein the radiating element further comprises an aperture polarizer configured to improve the axial ratio of the circular polarization of the radiating element up to angles of 90 degrees from a broadside axis.

4. A frequency-selective surface for one or multiple bands formed by a plurality of periodic cells each comprising:

a resonator element, wherein each resonator element comprises a plurality of stubs adjusted in frequency and arranged according to a geometric shape to be selected from an ellipse or a rectangle, wherein the frequency-selective surface further comprises a dielectric material with a variable dielectric constant.

5. A resonator element comprising:

a plurality of stubs adjusted in frequency and arranged according to a geometric shape to be selected from an ellipse or a rectangle wherein the resonator element further comprises an adjustable dipole to favour a polarization or application.
