Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of communication technologies, and further relates to a broadband non-reciprocal wave-transmitting electromagnetic surface in the field of electromagnetic fields and microwave technologies, which can be used in applications such as one-way electromagnetic shielding, anti-interference, and all-band stealth radar radomes. Background Art

[0002] Traditional radar radomes are usually electromagnetic reciprocal at the operating frequency and have the same frequency response characteristics for receiving and radiating electromagnetic waves. Due to the different frequency response characteristics of non-reciprocal wave-transmitting electromagnetic surfaces for co-polarized incident electromagnetic waves from both sides, they can achieve the function of a spatial electromagnetic one-way valve, and thus have broad prospects in applications such as anti-interference, one-way electromagnetic shielding, all-band electromagnetic stealth, and full-duplex communication systems. The non-reciprocal transmission of electromagnetic waves must break the time-reversal symmetry. At present, the implementation methods of non-reciprocal wave-transmitting electromagnetic surfaces can be divided into four categories: The first is to use magnetic materials based on ferrite loading, and utilize the Faraday rotation effect of magnetic materials under a specific magnetic field to change the polarization characteristics of electromagnetic waves, thereby breaking the time-reversal symmetry to achieve non-reciprocal wave transmission. However, the characteristics of magnetic materials being bulky, having large losses, and being difficult to control limit their applications; The second is to use nonlinear materials. Such materials have electromagnetic parameters such as dielectric constant and magnetic permeability that change asymmetrically in the propagation direction of electromagnetic waves, and can achieve non-reciprocal wave transmission when the power of electromagnetic waves is relatively large. Their large size and high power requirements limit their applications; The third is to use spatio-temporal modulation surfaces. Based on active frequency selective surfaces, radio frequency signals are loaded into the bias network to introduce a non-linear source to change the spectral characteristics of incident electromagnetic waves, thereby breaking the time-reversal symmetry and achieving non-reciprocal transmission of electromagnetic waves. However, problems such as difficulty in synchronization and narrow operable frequency bands limit their applications; The fourth is to load transistors. Transistors themselves have the one-way transmission characteristics of electromagnetic waves. Therefore, the Faraday rotation effect of magnetic materials can be simulated by loading transistors, or the "antenna-transistor circuit-antenna" unit can be constructed to achieve non-reciprocal transmission of electromagnetic waves. The non-reciprocal wave-transmitting electromagnetic surface based on the "antenna-transistor circuit-antenna" unit has the advantages of being non-magnetic, non-rotating, having a simple structure, and being easy to implement. In practical applications, radars and communication systems mostly operate in a broadband range. Therefore, it is necessary to design an electromagnetic surface with stable broadband non-reciprocal wave-transmitting characteristics. However, the related designs proposed so far can only operate in a low-frequency narrow band range and cannot achieve stable broadband non-reciprocal wave transmission in a higher frequency band, thus limiting their practical applications. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned disadvantages of the existing technologies and fill the gap in the broadband design field of non-reciprocal wave-transmitting electromagnetic surfaces, an electromagnetic surface with broadband non-reciprocal wave-transmitting characteristics is proposed, aiming to solve the problem that the existing non-reciprocal electromagnetic structures cannot maintain stable non-reciprocal transmission performance in the high-frequency broadband range, and can meet applications such as one-way electromagnetic shielding, anti-interference, and all-band stealth radar radomes.

[0004] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted in the present invention is as follows:

[0005] A broadband non-reciprocal wave-transmitting electromagnetic surface is composed of a plurality of broadband non-reciprocal wave-transmitting units with the same structure arranged periodically;

[0006] The broadband non-reciprocal wave-transmitting unit is formed by cascading an upper broadband antenna unit, a broadband unidirectional circuit, and a lower broadband antenna unit;

[0007] The upper broadband antenna unit and the lower broadband antenna unit are horizontally arranged, with the same structure, the same polarization, opposite radiation directions, and opposite receiving directions, and both have broadband transceiver characteristics; the broadband unidirectional circuit is a vertical structure and is located between the upper broadband antenna unit and the lower broadband antenna unit, and includes a circuit layer, a metal via hole group, a first dielectric layer, a metal sandwich layer, a second dielectric layer, an enable control line, and a bias control line; in the working state, it has amplitude non-reciprocal transmission characteristics for the electromagnetic waves received by the upper broadband antenna unit and the lower broadband antenna unit respectively, and realizes non-reciprocal wave transmission of electromagnetic waves.

[0008] In one embodiment, the upper broadband antenna unit includes an upper radiation patch, an upper dielectric substrate, an upper metal backplane, and upper metallized vias;

[0009] The upper radiation patch is printed on the upper surface of the upper dielectric substrate and is connected to the upper metallized vias penetrating the dielectric substrate; the upper metal backplane is printed on the lower surface of the dielectric substrate, and there is a circular pore with the same axis and a radius slightly larger than the metallized via at the position of the upper metallized via.

[0010] In one embodiment, the lower broadband antenna unit includes a lower radiation patch, a lower dielectric substrate, a lower metal backplane, and lower metallized vias;

[0011] The lower radiation patch is printed on the lower surface of the lower dielectric substrate and is connected to the lower metallized vias penetrating the lower dielectric substrate; the lower metal backplane is printed on the upper surface of the lower dielectric substrate, and there is a circular pore with the same axis and a radius slightly larger than the metallized via at the position of the lower metallized via.

[0012] In one embodiment, the circuit layer includes an upper microstrip transmission line, a lower microstrip transmission line, a broadband unidirectional amplifier circuit, an enable connection line, a bias connection line, and a metal coating;

[0013] The lower end of the upper microstrip transmission line is connected to the input end of the broadband unidirectional amplification circuit, and the upper end is connected to the upper metallized via and not connected to the upper metal backplane; the upper end of the lower microstrip transmission line is connected to the output end of the broadband unidirectional amplification circuit, and the lower end is connected to the lower metallized via and not connected to the lower metal backplane; one end of the enable connection line is connected to the enable end of the broadband unidirectional amplification circuit, and the other end is connected to the enable control line through a metallized via penetrating the first dielectric layer; one end of the bias connection line is connected to the bias end of the broadband unidirectional amplification circuit, and the other end is connected to the bias control line through a metallized via penetrating the second dielectric layer;

[0014] The upper microstrip transmission line, the lower microstrip transmission line, the broadband unidirectional amplification circuit, the enable connection line and the bias connection line are connected to form a combination; there is a gap between the metal cladding and the combination, and at the edge near it, it is connected to the metal interlayer through a group of metal grounding vias penetrating the first dielectric layer to ensure the stable transmission of broadband signals. The upper and lower ends of the metal cladding are also respectively fully connected to the upper metal backplane and the lower metal backplane.

[0015] In one embodiment, the metal interlayer has circular pores with coincident centers and a radius slightly larger than the metallized via at the metallized vias connecting the enable connection line and the bias connection line and at the metallized vias connecting the enable control line and the bias control line.

[0016] In one embodiment, an enable voltage Ven is applied between the enable control line and the ground plane to control the switching state of the broadband unidirectional amplification circuit. The value of Ven is related to the model of the broadband unidirectional amplification circuit. For example, when the model of the broadband unidirectional amplification circuit is GRF2710, the value of Ven needs to be greater than 1.8V.

[0017] In one embodiment, a bias voltage Vdd is applied between the bias control line and the ground plane to control the non-reciprocal transmission characteristic of the broadband unidirectional amplification circuit. The value of Vdd is related to the model of the broadband unidirectional amplification circuit. For example, when the model of the broadband unidirectional amplification circuit is GRF2710, the value of Vdd is 0 to 6V.

[0018] In one embodiment, the broadband unidirectional circuits of adjacent units whose centers are on the same straight line in the broadband non-reciprocal wave-transmitting unit are rotated around the centers of the upper metallized via and the lower metallized via so that they are placed parallel to this straight line, and then the first dielectric layer, the metal interlayer, the second dielectric layer, the enable control line and the bias control line are extended to be connected to the adjacent units, reducing the feeding difficulty.

[0019] In one embodiment, the broadband unidirectional circuit has a unidirectional amplification effect on the electromagnetic waves received by the upper broadband antenna unit and a reflection and absorption effect on the electromagnetic waves received by the lower broadband antenna unit.

[0020] In one embodiment, the broadband unidirectional circuit is placed parallel to the polarization direction of the upper broadband antenna unit and the lower broadband antenna unit.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0022] First, since the broadband non-reciprocal wave-transmitting unit in the present invention uses a broadband antenna unit and a broadband amplifier circuit as devices for transmitting and receiving and unidirectionally non-reciprocally transmitting electromagnetic waves, through the design of a modular split connection structure, the coupling effect between the broadband antenna unit and the broadband amplifier circuit is reduced, overcoming the problem of low forward and reverse transmission isolation in the broadband range of the non-reciprocal wave-transmitting structure in the prior art, so that the present invention has the advantage of high-isolation non-reciprocal wave-transmitting of electromagnetic waves in the broadband range.

[0023] Second, since the broadband amplifier circuit in the present invention adopts a multi-layer structure of a circuit layer, a metal interlayer, and an enabling and bias control layer, the circuit layer and the bias control layer are separated by the metal interlayer to reduce the influence of the control line on the transmission characteristics of the circuit layer, and a metal ground hole group is used to prevent electromagnetic wave leakage and maintain stable broadband transmission performance, so that the present invention has the advantage of stable broadband low-loss forward transmission characteristics of electromagnetic waves in the broadband range.

[0024] Third, since the broadband non-reciprocal wave-transmitting unit in the present invention adopts a cascaded plug-in structure along the direction of electromagnetic wave propagation, it can be split into low-mutual-coupling modules of a broadband antenna unit and a vertical broadband amplifier circuit for independent design, and the overall size is only determined by the size of the broadband antenna unit, so that the present invention has the advantages of a compact structure and easy design.
