The invention discloses a polarization switching surface based on a sub-
wavelength harmonic structure. The polarization switching surface is mainly obtained in a mode that a sub-
wavelength harmonic unit is subjected to a horizontal cycle array and a longitudinal cycle array, the sub-
wavelength harmonic unit is of a square structure and comprises a top-layer
metal copper sheet, an upper medium plate, a middle grounded
metal copper sheet, a lower medium plate and a bottom-layer
metal copper sheet, and the middle grounded metal copper sheet is located between the upper medium plate and the lower medium plate; penetrating through holes are formed in the five
layers of materials of the sub-wavelength harmonic unit, the top-layer metal copper sheet and the bottom-layer metal copper sheet are oppositely arranged, and the polarization rotation directions of the top-layer metal copper sheet and the bottom-layer metal copper sheet are contrary to each other. The polarization switching surface is low in cost, simple in structure, thin, light, good in conversion performance and capable of flexibly controlling the polarization state of electromagnetic
waves and conducting selective electromagnetic wave
transmittance and reflectance and is widely applied to the fields of imaging, antennas, communication systems, electromagnetic confrontation and governance, military
invisibility and the like.
