A 4 Multiplication-Sign 4 transfer matrix method has been applied to study the decomposition of any elliptically polarized wave in a magnetized resonator. When the incident elliptically polarized wave passes through the structure, it is orthogonally decomposed into two circular polarizations at two resonance frequencies. Without changing the structure of the resonator, the positions of the resonant frequencies of the right- and left-handed circularly polarized waves can be modulated by changing the external magnetized field. The results show that the proposed magnetized structure can be used to design a novel resonator, which can be applied in the decomposition of polarized electromagnetic waves.
