Reconfigurable-Metasurface-Aided Multi-State Generalized Polarization-Space Modulation for Next-Generation Wireless Communications

Abstract

We propose a low-cost reconfigurable metasurface transmitter to implement generalized polarization-space modulation (GPSM) that has been proposed for next-generation wireless communications. Unlike conventional multiple-input multiple-output GPSM, our electromagnetically-compliant, reduced form-factor design using Barium-Strontium-Titanate film yields more than two polarization states. Full-wave simulations show our optimized design achieves 0.08-0.95 polarization conversion ratio with 5% bandwidth at 28 GHz and bit error rates comparable or better than conventional systems.
