This study proposes that a metallic helix array can operate as a highly-transparent broadband wave plate in propagation directions perpendicular to the axis of helices. The functionality arises from a special property of the helix array, namely that the eigenstates of elliptically right-handed and left-handed polarization are dominated by Bragg scattering and local resonance respectively, and can be modulated separately with nearly fixed difference between their wavevectors in a wide frequency range. The wave plate functionality is theoretically and experimentally demonstrated by the transformation of polarized states in a wide frequency range.
