Abstract

The invention specifically relates to a zero-refractive index meta-material flat coupling microwave / millimeter wave whispering-gallery-mode sensor, which belongs to the technical field of microwave / millimeter wave detection. The middle part of a metal planar waveguide composed of a pair of red copper metal flats is filled with a zero-refractive index meta-material, a dielectric ring with a high dielectric constant is implanted into the zero-refractive index meta-material, the upper end of the dielectric ring is provided with a material inlet, the lower end of the dielectric ring is provided with a material outlet, the signal feed-in port and output port of the waveguide are located at positions where two sides of the zero-refractive index meta-material in the waveguide are connected with the red copper metal flats. The whispering-gallery-mode sensor provided by the invention is a sensing device with an improved coupling effect, improved sensitivity and capacity of realizing on-line, real-time, automatic and continuous detection.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of microwave / millimeter wave detection, and in particular relates to a sensor for coupling a microwave / millimeter wave echoing gallery mode with a zero-refractive index metamaterial. Background technique [0002] Whispering Gallery Mode (WGM, WhisperingGalleryMode) is a resonant mode generated in a closed-shaped medium with a high dielectric constant (relative to the background medium). The distribution of the electromagnetic field in it depends on the specific shape. Commonly used are discs, circles Rings, medium balls, etc. When the wave propagates in the annular medium, it undergoes multiple total reflections on both sides of the inner surface to form a whispering gallery mode. The whispering gallery mode belongs to the high-order angular mode of the ring structure dielectric resonator, and most of the electromagnetic energy is bound in the ring area in the resonant state. Dielectric resonators based on...
