Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of electromagnetic protection technology, specifically relating to a multifunctional active absorber with reflective polarization conversion in the high-frequency band. Background technology:

[0002] With the rapid development of electromagnetic detection technology, the risk of antenna systems being detected is increasing, making the research on radar stealth technology and radomes particularly important. Frequency-selective absorbers, when applied to stealth radomes, can absorb out-of-band incident waves while ensuring low transmission band insertion loss, thereby greatly reducing monostatic and bistatic radar cross-sections (RCS) and achieving stealth functionality.

[0003] Frequency-selective absorbers are commonly classified into three types based on the relative positions of the transmission and absorption bands: 1) the passband is to the left of the absorption band; 2) the passband is to the right of the absorption band; and 3) the passband is between the two absorption bands. However, current research mostly focuses on passive absorbers, which suffer from limited functionality. By loading PIN diodes onto frequency-selective absorbers, different electromagnetic characteristics can be achieved by changing the on / off state of the PIN diodes, thus enabling switching between different functions. PIN diodes, as a commonly used electromagnetic switch, have advantages such as small size, fast response speed, and low cost.

[0004] To date, numerous researchers have proposed active microwave absorber structures; however, most of them suffer from drawbacks such as limited functionality and polarization sensitivity. Therefore, designing a multifunctional active microwave absorber has significant application value and importance in the fields of electromagnetic protection and stealth. Summary of the Invention:

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a multifunctional active absorber with reflective polarization conversion in the high-frequency band. It employs a geometrically symmetrical structure design, offering different function switching and dual-polarization characteristics. Furthermore, by controlling the on / off state of the PIN diode, it can achieve absorption-transmission-polarization conversion and absorption-reflection-polarization function conversion. It possesses multifunctional and dual-polarization characteristics, has a simple manufacturing process, and shows significant application potential in electromagnetic protection equipment. It effectively solves the problems of limited functional design and polarization sensitivity in existing structures.

[0014] Furthermore, the switching layer achieves two independently switchable combinations of absorption-transmission-polarization conversion and absorption-reflection-polarization conversion by switching the first PIN diode, the second PIN diode, the third PIN diode, and the fourth PIN diode. Specifically:

[0043] Reference Figures 1-5 This embodiment provides a multifunctional active absorber with high-frequency reflective polarization conversion. Its overall structure is the same as that of the embodiment, except that the embodiment specifically defines the specifications of each metal patch, PIN diode of the dielectric layer, and resistor in embodiment 1.

The second and third dielectric layers are also cubes with a side length of 16 mm and thicknesses h2 and h3 of 1.5 mm. The material is an F4B board with a dielectric constant of 2.2.

[0045] In this embodiment, the top polarization conversion layer can be obtained by etching copper foil. The first metal patch P1 and the second metal patch P2 are both "C" shaped with a bottom edge length l5 of 6.8 mm and a thickness g of 0.4 mm.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] This embodiment describes the application process of the multifunctional active absorber with high-frequency reflective polarization conversion described in Embodiment 2.

[0052] The two operating states of the high-frequency band multifunctional active absorber with reflective polarization conversion can be obtained by setting the following voltage values ​​respectively:

[0053] (1) When the voltage applied to the metal microstrip line S is 0 volts and the voltage applied to the fourteenth metal patch P14 is greater than 0 volts, the first PIN diode D1, the second PIN diode D2, the third PIN diode D3, and the fourth PIN diode D4 are all in the off state. The high-frequency band has a multifunctional active absorber with reflection polarization conversion to realize the absorption-transmission-polarization conversion function.

[0054] (2) When the voltage applied to the metal microstrip line S is 5 volts and the voltage applied to the fourteenth metal patch P14 is greater than 0 volts, the first PIN diode D1, the second PIN diode D2, the third PIN diode D3 and the fourth PIN diode D4 are all in the conducting state, and the high-frequency band has a multifunctional active absorber with reflection polarization conversion to realize the absorption-reflection-polarization conversion function.

[0055] The reflection coefficient curves under two working conditions were obtained through simulation using HFSS software, and referenced... Figure 6 , Figure 6 Simulation results of the reflection coefficients of the multifunctional active absorber with reflective polarization conversion of this invention are presented for two operating states when the switching states of the first, second, third, and fourth PIN diodes change. Among them:

[0056] Figure 6 (a) The reflection coefficient and transmission coefficient of the TE / TM polarized incident wave when all four PIN diodes of the present invention are turned on;

[0057] Figure 6 (b) represents the reflection and transmission coefficients of the TE / TM polarized incident wave when all four PIN diodes of the present invention are disconnected.

[0058] The following is a detailed analysis of the two operating states of the multifunctional active absorbing device with reflection polarization conversion in the high-frequency band of this embodiment:

[0059] (1) When all four PIN diodes are disconnected, the multifunctional active absorber with reflective polarization conversion in the high-frequency band can realize the absorption-transmission-polarization conversion function in the range of 3.56-13.03GHz respectively;

[0060] (2) When all four PIN diodes are turned on, the multifunctional active absorber with reflection polarization conversion in the high-frequency band can realize the absorption-reflection-polarization conversion function in the range of 3.63-12.12GHz.

[0061] Simulation results show that by controlling the on / off state of the PIN diode, two independent and switchable combined states can be achieved on a single structure, namely absorption-transmission-polarization conversion and absorption-reflection-polarization conversion. This demonstrates that the present invention has the characteristics of multifunctionality and dual polarization.

When the first PIN diode (D1), the second PIN diode (D2), the third PIN diode (D3), and the fourth PIN diode (D4) are all disconnected, the multifunctional active absorber with high-frequency reflective polarization conversion can realize the absorption-reflection-polarization conversion function in the low-frequency, mid-frequency, and high-frequency bands.

9. The multifunctional active absorber with high-frequency reflective polarization conversion according to claim 1, characterized in that, The active absorber comprises M×N periodically arranged active absorber units, where M≥2 and N≥2.
