Abstract
Reflective linear-to-circular polarization (LP-to-CP) converters are desired for satellite communication applications to reduce the complexity of the antenna system and the number of the required apertures in single-feed-per-beam configurations. Moreover, wideband operation and angular stability are important polarizer attributes in these applications. Here, for the first time, we use a machine-learning technique employing a generative adversarial network (GAN) to systematically and efficiently explore and exploit the solution space of single-layer structures for this problem. By using a GAN to optimize the shape of the polarizing element, superior performance in terms of overlapping axial ratio bandwidth for normal and oblique incidence of 30° compared to the previously studied designs is achieved.
