[0002] With the development of communication technologies such as 5G and 6G, and the accelerated deployment of low-Earth orbit satellite internet, the demand for high-performance circularly polarized antennas is constantly increasing. As a key component, the septum-type circularly polarized antenna will also benefit from this trend. Septum-type circularly polarized antennas have wide applications in satellite communication, radar detection, and wireless positioning. For example, in satellite communication, they help improve the transmission quality and coverage of satellite signals.

[0003] In the current market, ordinary circular polarizers typically face several technical challenges, including their relatively narrow operating bandwidth, which limits their application over a wider frequency range. In addition, these circular polarizers often have low gain levels, meaning their signal transmission and reception capabilities are not particularly strong. Furthermore, their impedance matching performance is often unsatisfactory, which can lead to signal reflection and reduced transmission efficiency. Therefore, these limiting factors restrict the application of ordinary circular polarizers in certain high-performance communication systems. Utility Model Content

[0023] Specifically, when a linearly polarized wave is incident on a specific device, it first passes through a grid region 2 symmetrically distributed on both sides of the partition region 1. This grid region 2 consists of four rectangular bars of equal width and length, forming a periodic array structure. The function of these rectangular bars is to scatter and reflect the electric field components of the incident wave in different polarization directions, thereby initially filtering out specific polarization components and equalizing the amplitude of these components. After this initial processing, the electromagnetic wave then enters the partition region 1. Within the partition region 1, the first rectangular block 3 and the internal rectangular cavity are arranged in a carefully designed spatial layout to adjust the transmission impedance. To meet the needs of subsequent processing, the multi-size partition 5, composed of the second to seventh rectangular blocks, applies differentiated phase delays to the different polarization components of the electromagnetic wave due to the different thicknesses and widths of each layer. When the phase difference between the components perpendicular to and parallel to the layering direction accumulates to 90 degrees, and the amplitudes of these components become equal after secondary modulation by the grid region 2, the original linearly polarized wave is successfully converted into a circularly polarized wave. In this process, the multi-size partition 5 and the symmetrical structure of the grid region 2 work together to achieve impedance matching and efficient polarization conversion functions in a wide frequency band.

[0024] Working principle: When a linearly polarized wave is incident, it first passes through the grid region 2, which is symmetrically distributed on both sides of the partition region 1. The grid region 2 consists of a periodic array structure composed of four rectangular bars of equal width and length. This structure scatters and reflects the electric field components in different polarization directions, initially screening the polarization components and equalizing their amplitudes. Subsequently, the electromagnetic wave enters the partition region 1. The first rectangular block 3 and the internal rectangular cavity adjust the transmission impedance through spatial arrangement. The multi-size partition 5, which is composed of the second to seventh rectangular blocks, produces different phase delays for the different polarization components of the electromagnetic wave due to the different thicknesses and widths of each layer. When the phase difference between the components perpendicular to and parallel to the layer direction accumulates to 90° and the amplitudes are equal after secondary adjustment by the grid, the linearly polarized wave is converted into a circularly polarized wave. The symmetrical structure of the multi-size partition 1 and the grid works together to achieve impedance matching and efficient polarization conversion within a wide bandwidth.
