The metasurface consists of a two-dimensional periodic arrangement of anisotropic doubleslit split-ring-resonator-based unit cells printed on top of a dielectric substrate, backed by metallic cladding. The proposed metasurface converts an x- or y- polarized wave into its orthogonal polarization over a fractional bandwidth of 100% from 5-15 GHz, both for normal as well as oblique incidence. Moreover, the sub-wavelength unit-cell size, thin dielectric substrate,and unique unit-cell design collectively make the response of the metasurface same for both polarizations and insensitive to the incidence angle.
