[0046] Embodiment 2

[0047] Figure 3 After loading the upper and lower layers of metal cross patches 3, the transmission / reflection amplitude and phase of the ceramic matrix composite substrate at the air-dielectric interface are explained. Because the refractive index of the dielectric at the air-dielectric interface on both sides is different, the incident angles a s and a i are different. The metal cross patch 3 resonates under the action of external electromagnetic waves, and the electromagnetic waves are transmitted / reflected multiple times. The transmission / reflection coefficients of each time are t 12 exp(jθ 12 ), t 23 exp(jθ 23 ), t 21 exp(jθ 21 )……, and r 21 exp(jθ 21 ), r 23 exp(jθ 23 ). In the formula, the multiple times of transmission / reflection electromagnetic waves finally interfere with each other, and the transmission is enhanced and the reflection is reduced at the resonance frequency point of the upper and lower layers of metal cross patches 3.

[0048] Figure 4 The simulation results of the transmission / reflection coefficients of the ceramic matrix composite substrate before and after loading the sandwich metal grating 1. Through the Trowe model In the formula, ω pmrepresents the resonant frequency of the sandwiched metal grating 1, c0 and π represent the speed of light and the circle constant respectively, and a and r represent the width and radius of the sandwiched metal grating 1 respectively, the resonant frequencies of the sandwiched metal grating 1 under the transverse electric wave and the transverse magnetic wave irradiation are 21.2 GHz and 40.1 GHz respectively, and the transmission / reflection selection function of the two linear polarized waves is realized by adjusting the equivalent dielectric constant of the medium in the specific resonant region. Referring to Figure 4 (a) It can be seen that by loading the optimized metal grating, the transmission coefficient of the ceramic matrix composite substrate in the Ku band for the transverse electric wave vertical incidence is gradually increased from 0.5 to 0.95, which is obviously improved compared with the transmission coefficient 0.8 without loading. From Figure 4 (b) It can be seen that the reflection coefficient of the ceramic matrix composite substrate in the Ku band for the transverse magnetic wave vertical incidence is 0.96, which is improved by about 50% compared with the reflection coefficient 0.5 without loading.

From Figure 5 (a) and (b) can be seen that, compared with the ceramic matrix composite substrate, the directional electromagnetic wave front generator has obvious transmission enhancement effect in the transmission channels I and II caused by the cavity structure of the upper and lower metal cross patch 3(1), (5) and the resonant band of the sandwiched metal grating 1(3) under different angle incidence, and the transmission amplitude is improved by about 40% on average.

Referring to Figure 7(a) and (b) can be compared, relative to the ceramic matrix composite substrate, under different angle of incidence, by loading three-layer metal structure (1), (3), (5), the reflection amplitude of the directional electromagnetic wave front generator is increased by about 80% on average at 13-18GHz. From Figure 7 (c) can be found that when the transverse magnetic wave is incident at θ i = ± 55°, the reflection phase difference value at 15GHz is about 180 degrees, combined with the generalized Snell law θ r = arcsin (sin (θ i ) +▽φ x / k i ), the phase distribution of the electromagnetic directional wave front generator is calculated as shown in Figure 7 (d).

[0052] Figure 8 is the three-dimensional simulation result of the directional electromagnetic wave front generator under transverse magnetic wave irradiation, and the corresponding two-dimensional simulation result in the xoz section, and the same size metal plate is selected for comparison. From Figure 8 (a)-(c) can be seen that for the transverse magnetic wave at 15GHz, when θ i = -55°, 55°, 0°, the directional electromagnetic wave front generator has obvious backscattering enhancement in the direction of the incoming wave, while the same size metal plate is specular reflection; relative to the metal plate, the backscattering amplitude of the directional electromagnetic wave front generator is 35dBsm.

Referring to Figure 10 (b) and (c), it can be seen that under the irradiation of transverse magnetic wave, the directional electromagnetic wave front generator has two obvious transmission peaks I and II, and relative to the ceramic matrix composite substrate, its transmission amplitude is obviously improved at 13-17.5GHz, the overall amplitude is improved by about 45%, and it has good wave transmission effect.

[0055] Figure 11 is the reflection coefficient and far field test platform built and the transmission coefficient test result of the directional electromagnetic wave front generator under transverse magnetic wave irradiation, here, the same size metal plate is selected and processed for comparison. Referring to Figure 11(c), it can be seen that the reflection coefficient of the directional electromagnetic wave front generator under the irradiation of transverse magnetic wave at different incident angles is about 0.88 in the Ku band, and has good reflection effect. Figure 11 (d)-(f) can be compared, the directional electromagnetic wave front generator under the irradiation of transverse magnetic wave at 15GHz, θ i =-55°, 55°, 0°, the electromagnetic wave is returned to the wave direction efficiently, and the bistatic reflection coefficient has obvious peak value, in addition, the equal-sized metal plate efficiently reflects the electromagnetic wave along the mirror symmetry direction, which fully verifies the high-efficiency backscattering enhancement effect of the application.
