Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of electromagnetic field and microwave technology, and in particular relates to a frequency selective surface with an adjustable dual-frequency wave-transmitting window and high-angle stability. Background Art

[0002] Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) is usually a two-dimensional periodic array structure, which has a specific selection function for the working frequency, polarization form, incident angle, etc. of electromagnetic waves, and can effectively control the reflection and transmission of electromagnetic waves. Due to its unique spatial filtering properties, frequency selective surfaces are widely used in radar stealth, electromagnetic compatibility, wireless communication, electronic countermeasures and other fields.

[0003] In order to overcome the defect of the traditional passive frequency selective surface that the resonance characteristics remain unchanged after processing, active devices (such as PIN diodes, varactor diodes, etc.) are loaded in the FSS structure to adapt to the complex and changeable electromagnetic environment. Due to the advantages of varactor diodes such as short response time, wide tuning range, small size and low cost, adjustable frequency selective surfaces based on varactor diodes have gradually become a research hotspot in recent years. Adjustable frequency selective surfaces can not only solve the in-band stealth problem of antenna covers, but also provide tuning solutions for absorbing materials, electromagnetic shielding materials, active phased array radars, beam steering antennas, etc., and have broad application prospects.

[0004] Dual-band FSS has a wide range of applications in the fields of MIMO antennas and multi-band communication systems, and has received extensive attention in the past few years. However, there are relatively few studies on dual-band adjustable FSS. On the one hand, the bias network that provides bias voltage for the varactor will affect the electromagnetic characteristics of the adjustable frequency selective surface, and the complexity of the feed line increases the design difficulty of the independently adjustable dual-passband FSS design. On the other hand, in order to achieve independent tuning of the dual-band wave-transmitting window, multiple varactor diode elements are required. The active FSS structure proposed in the relevant literature currently requires 16 varactor diode elements in one periodic unit. If they are arranged into an array structure, the number of active devices is huge; too many active elements increase the processing complexity and cost. In addition, when the electromagnetic wave is incident at a large angle, the resonant frequency of the frequency selective surface will shift. In order to meet the actual application requirements of engineering fields such as conformal radar antenna covers, further research is needed on how to achieve stable wave transmission performance.

[0052] In order to verify that the proposed adjustable frequency selective surface has the characteristics of broadband reconfigurable wave window, the transmission curves of the varactor diodes of the embodiment of the present invention that are independently regulated are simulated. The results are as follows: Figure 5 shown.

[0053] See also Figure 5(a) shows the frequency response curves of the first varactor diode with different capacitance values ​​when the second varactor diode value C2 is kept at 0.1pF under the condition of vertical incidence of TE polarized wave. It can be seen that as the first varactor diode value C1 increases from 0.1pF to 0.8pF, the resonant frequency of the second passband remains at 9.63GHz, while the resonant frequency of the first passband can be continuously tuned in the range of 2.4-5.75GHz, with a relative bandwidth of 82.1% and an insertion loss that is always less than 1dB.

[0054] See also Figure 5 (b) shows the frequency response curves of the first varactor diode with different capacitance values ​​when the first varactor diode value C1 is kept at 0.8pF under the condition of vertical incidence of TE polarized wave. It can be seen that as the second varactor diode value C2 increases from 0.1pF to 0.4pF, the resonant frequency of the first passband remains at 2.4GHz, while the resonant frequency of the second passband can be continuously tuned in the range of 5.7-9.63GHz, with a relative bandwidth of 51.2% and an insertion loss that is always less than 1dB.

[0055] In order to verify that the proposed adjustable frequency selective surface has the characteristic of stable incident angle, the transmission curves of electromagnetic waves with different oblique incident angles of the embodiment of the present invention are simulated. The results are as follows: Figure 6 shown.

[0056] See also Figure 6 (a) shows the frequency response curves of TE polarized waves at different incident angles when the first varactor diode value C1 is kept at 0.1pF and the second varactor diode value C2 is kept at 0.4pF. It can be seen that as the angle of the oblique incident electromagnetic wave increases to 75°, the resonant frequency is still basically the same as that at vertical incidence, and the in-band insertion loss is always less than 3dB, showing good angle stability.

[0057] See also Figure 6 (b) shows the frequency response curves of TE polarized waves at different incident angles when the first varactor diode value C1 is kept at 0.8pF and the second varactor diode value C2 is kept at 0.3pF. It can be seen that as the angle of the oblique incident electromagnetic wave increases to 75°, the resonant frequency is still basically the same as that at vertical incidence, and the in-band insertion loss is always less than 3dB, showing good angle stability.
