An FSS based circular polarizer for high-speed wireless communication at 75 GHz is presented. It has been designed on a low loss substrate with cross-dipole elements. Both simulation and measured results showed more than 98% circular polarization at 75 GHz. Moreover, 3 dB axial-ratio bandwidth of 6.8 GHz (Simulation) and 7.8 GHz (Measured) has been achieved. The proposed design has many advantages over the recently published research such as simplicity, low-profile, percentage bandwidth, frequency of operation and relative insertion loss.
