This invention discloses a
broadband frequency-shifting conformal transmission method for electromagnetic
waves based on a time-varying circuit with dual constitutive parameters, belonging to the fields of
microwave radio frequency, time metamaterials, and
frequency domain transformation technology. The method is implemented using a frequency-shifting transmission circuit, which includes a
microstrip transmission line and a periodically loaded
inductor branch. The
inductor branch includes switches, series inductors, and parallel inductors. When all switches in the frequency-shifting transmission circuit are open, an input pulse
signal is sent to the circuit. When the pulse
signal has fully entered the
microstrip transmission line, all switches close simultaneously. Due to the
wavenumber conservation of the
microstrip transmission line,
frequency shift occurs, achieving frequency-shifting transmission. This method does not rely on a complex
local oscillator system, does not increase
circuit complexity excessively, and theoretically does not generate
harmonics. It achieves
broadband frequency shifting, reflection-free, high-efficiency transmission, and
waveform distortion-free conformal transmission, providing a new technical path for
broadband, low-
distortion signal processing in the
microwave radio frequency field.
