Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of electromagnetic simulation, and relates to a method for solving the transmission characteristics of a periodic metamaterial, in particular to a method for solving the transmission characteristics of a periodic metamaterial based on the finite element Floquet port method. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, due to its unique transmission characteristics, metamaterials have received increasing attention in the fields of solid physics, materials science, optics, and applied electromagnetics. Generally, a metamaterial is synthesized by two-dimensional periodic arrangement of unit cells, and the periodic synthesis method is beneficial to the analysis and fabrication of the structure. A metamaterial belongs to a special periodic structure, often a hybrid medium, where the size of the unit cell and the interval between cells are much smaller than the working wavelength of the incident wave, and the spatial variation of the electromagnetic wave in the entire metamaterial structure is much greater than the local variation of the electromagnetic wave caused by the unit discontinuity. The electromagnetic periodic structure shows the characteristics of "more and more unit cells and more and more complex unit structures", resulting in an increasing amount of computing resources required to solve the electromagnetic parameters of the electromagnetic periodic structure, which brings great difficulties to the numerical analysis of the transmission characteristics of the electromagnetic periodic structure.

[0003] Due to the periodicity of the metamaterial, traditional periodic theories such as the Floquet-Bloch theory can be used for analysis. The basis of this method is to equivalent the physical structure of the metamaterial unit cell to a lumped equivalent circuit model, transform the analysis of the electromagnetic field into the analysis of the circuit, and then analyze the inherent dispersion and impedance characteristics of the metamaterial. This method is often used to analyze one-dimensional and two-dimensional metamaterials with relatively simple unit structures. However, in the face of complex metamaterial structures, such as the case of a hybrid medium, it is difficult to extract the lumped equivalent circuit. The full-wave analysis method provides a new approach for analyzing and designing complex metamaterial structures. The main idea of the full-wave analysis method is to use relatively mature microwave numerical algorithms such as the method of moments, the finite element method, and the finite-difference time-domain method. The method of moments obtains an integral equation based on the interaction of surface currents, and then discretizes the obtained integral equation to solve the electromagnetic problem. When solving open-domain problems, it has high accuracy, but the coefficient matrix of the solved equation is dense, resulting in generally large computing resources required to solve high-dimensional matrices. The finite-difference time-domain method uses a difference method to discretize the differential equation, and the equation is relatively simple and intuitive. However, it generally uses a hexahedron grid for discretization, so there is a relatively large error when simulating complex geometric models, and there is an obvious numerical dispersion effect, which is not conducive to solving.

[0004] Anhui University discloses a method for analyzing the characteristic modes of a large-scale finite periodic array structure in its patent document "A Method for Analyzing the Characteristic Modes of a Large-scale Finite Periodic Array Structure" (application number CN201810720625.3, publication number CN10895977A). The method includes the following steps: geometric modeling and meshing of the large-scale finite periodic array structure; establishing an eigenvalue equation based on the electric field integral equation for the reference unit; calculating the characteristic modes of the entire large-scale finite periodic array structure, providing a method for analyzing the characteristic modes of a large-scale finite periodic array structure. However, this invention is an analysis method based on the method of moments, and the method of moments is relatively difficult in analyzing periodic structures of complex media and is difficult to handle periodic mixed-media dielectrics. This invention only solves the method for analyzing the characteristic modes of a two-dimensional finite number of periodic structures and cannot handle the problem of infinitely large periodic metamaterials. This invention can only calculate the distribution under the characteristic mode current and cannot calculate the transmission characteristics of periodic metamaterials under plane waves with arbitrary incident angles and arbitrary polarization modes.

[0041] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0042] Referring to Figure 1 , the present invention includes the following steps:

[0043] Step 1. Construct the geometric model of the metamaterial unit in the periodic metamaterials.

[0050] Step 2. Set the material and boundary conditions of the geometric model.

[0051] Set the material properties corresponding to the actual design requirements of the periodic metamaterial on each geometric body in the geometric model of the metamaterial unit, and at the same time set the boundary conditions of the geometric model, including the boundary conditions on the geometric surface, the master-slave boundary conditions, and the port boundary conditions. Set the boundary conditions corresponding to the actual design of the periodic metamaterial on the geometric surface in the geometric model. For a pair of side surfaces in the x direction of the geometric model, set the master boundary condition and the slave boundary condition of the master-slave boundary in the x direction. For a pair of side surfaces in the y direction of the geometric model, set the master boundary condition and the slave boundary condition of the master-slave boundary in the y direction. Set the Floquet port boundary conditions on the top surface and the bottom surface.

[0054] Next, combining Figure 2A schematic diagram of the unit geometric modeling of the periodic anisotropic medium is further described for the specific settings of the master-slave boundary conditions of the unit model. As Figure 2 shown, the geometric model is divided into an upper air medium layer, a unit structure layer, and a lower air medium layer from top to bottom. The left and right surfaces in the upper air medium layer are respectively set as the master boundary 1 and the slave boundary 1, and the front and back surfaces are respectively set as the slave boundary surface 2 and the master boundary surface 2. The left and right surfaces in the unit structure body are respectively set as the master boundary 3 and the slave boundary 3, and the front and back surfaces are respectively set as the slave boundary surface 4 and the master boundary surface 4. The left and right surfaces in the lower air medium layer are respectively set as the master boundary 5 and the slave boundary 5, and the front and back surfaces are respectively set as the slave boundary surface 6 and the master boundary surface 6. The top and top surfaces of the geometric model are set as the Floquet port 1 and the Floquet port 2.

[0055] Step 3. Calculate the excited electromagnetic fields at the Floquet ports of the geometric model.

[0056] Introduce a polarized plane wave of TE mode, TM mode, or TEM mode through the Floquet port boundary conditions of the geometric model, and calculate the excited electric field and magnetic field at the ports of the geometric model corresponding to these three modes according to the mode and incident angle of the polarized plane wave and and E TEM and H TEM :

This is an analysis method based on mode analysis, which can analyze the frequency-domain responses of different modes on the periodic metamaterial, and then a periodic metamaterial with specific transmission characteristics meeting the expectations can be designed. Therefore, it has a wide range of applications.

[0085]

[0086] Then use the matrix solver to solve the system matrix, obtain the electric field of each grid cell in the tetrahedral mesh, and then combine the electric fields of each grid to form the electric field distribution in the entire unit structure. Therefore, such a method of solving the electric field distribution can analyze the structure with complex media.

It can be known from the above steps that the electric - field distribution corresponding to the system matrix within a single - period structure is transformed into the electric - field distribution corresponding to the system matrix of other unit structures through the relations under the master - slave boundary conditions. By combining the electric - field distributions of each unit, the electric - field distribution of the complete - period metamaterial is further solved, achieving
