Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electromagnetic wave control technology, and in particular to a broadband linearly polarized achromatic stealth meta-device under oblique incidence conditions. Background Art
[0002] Controlling electromagnetic waves is a crucial area of research in the electromagnetic field. Electromagnetic stealth technology, a key branch of this field, has significant practical applications in areas such as stealth skin design, camouflage protection, and electromagnetic compatibility. Stealth technology can be achieved by manipulating the electromagnetic wavefront in both reflection and transmission space. Compared to achieving stealth through electromagnetic wavefront manipulation in reflection space with the goal of achieving a low radar cross section (RCS), electromagnetic stealth in transmission space currently suffers from limitations such as poor stealth effectiveness, strong dispersion dependence, a narrow operating frequency band, and limited operating environments. The emergence of metasurfaces provides a new platform for electromagnetic wave wavefront manipulation. Their flexible control capabilities make broadband achromatic stealth devices technically feasible.
[0003] Existing achromatic metadevices are generally implemented in two ways. One is to use multiple resonances based on the Lorentz resonance model to achieve broadband and efficient dispersion control. This method is suitable for wavefront control in the reflection space. For wavefront control in the transmission space, the required metasurface cross-section is large, which is not conducive to integration. The other is to use the Huygens principle to construct multiple electric and magnetic resonances to achieve multi-resonance point control, thereby achieving flexible control of the dispersion characteristics of the incident wave over a broadband range. Specifically in the design of stealth devices, the key to electromagnetic cloaking of a specific object lies in manipulating the wavefront of the incident wave so that the wavefront of the electromagnetic wave after passing through the object can be restored to the wavefront state of the incident wave. The simplest example is the cloaking of a dielectric material of a specific shape. According to the generalized Snell's law, this situation is achieved by achieving a singular deflection of the incident electromagnetic wave from air to dielectric space, that is, the direction of the transmitted beam is consistent with the direction of the incident beam. This effect can be achieved by adding a metasurface to the surface of the dielectric material to provide the required phase gradient. Summary of the Invention
[0004] In response to the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the present invention provides a broadband linearly polarized achromatic stealth metastructure device under oblique incidence conditions, which can achieve electromagnetic stealth for prismatic dielectric columns with a dielectric constant of 3.55 in the range of 9.5 GHz-10.5 GHz under horizontally polarized electromagnetic wave irradiation conditions.

[0039] In this embodiment, the first, second, third, and fourth dielectric plates are all made of F4BTME350. Each of the first, second, third, and fourth dielectric plates is 2 mm thick, 248.4 mm long, and 207 mm wide. Furthermore, the prismatic dielectric columns are made of PTFE, which has a dielectric constant of 2.2.
[0040] also, Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the broadband linear polarization achromatic stealth metadevice under oblique incidence conditions is given, specifically: Figure 1 In the figure, 100 represents a broadband linear polarization achromatic stealth meta-device, 130 represents a prismatic dielectric column, and a three-dimensional coordinate is established with the center of the lower rhombus bottom surface of the prismatic dielectric column as the origin. The long axis of the lower rhombus bottom surface, the side edge length of the prismatic dielectric column (the height of the prismatic dielectric column), and the short axis of the lower rhombus bottom surface are used as the x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis to specifically describe the setting positions of the first Huygens achromatic meta-surface and the second Huygens achromatic meta-surface, wherein the Huygens achromatic meta-surfaces located on both sides of the rectangular side surface of the prismatic dielectric column are about Figure 1 The yoz planes in the figure are mirror-symmetric, that is, 110 and 120 represent two different types of Huygens achromatic metasurfaces, namely the first Huygens achromatic metasurface and the second Huygens achromatic metasurface, located on both sides of the two 60° internal angles of the upper and lower rhombus bases of the prismatic dielectric column; 111 and 113 both represent the first Huygens achromatic metasurface, and the two metasurfaces are symmetrically placed along the z-axis; 121 and 122 both represent the second Huygens achromatic metasurface, and the two metasurfaces are symmetrically placed along the z-axis; and the first Huygens achromatic metasurface and the second Huygens achromatic metasurface are tightly attached to the four rectangular side surfaces of the prismatic dielectric column, and the upper and lower rhombus bases of the prismatic dielectric column are in contact with the air. In this embodiment, the first Huygens achromatic metasurface and the second Huygens achromatic metasurface are both used to form a specific phase gradient within a broadband range (the working bandwidth is 9.6 GHz-10.7 GHz) to guide the incident horizontal linear polarization plane wave along the original direction into the prismatic dielectric column in a specific frequency band; therefore, the first Huygens achromatic metasurface and the second Huygens achromatic metasurface can ensure that the wrapped prismatic dielectric column achieves broadband achromatic stealth in the horizontal two-dimensional space under the irradiation of the horizontal linear polarization plane wave, and will not significantly increase the volume of the metasurface device, thus saving resources.
[0041] At the same time, both the first Huygens achromatic metasurface and the second Huygens achromatic metasurface are sandwich structures of metal layer-dielectric plate-metal layer-dielectric plate-metal layer, and their overall cross-section is sub-wavelength, which can effectively reduce the cross-section of the stealth skin, and therefore has reference significance for the miniaturization of stealth devices. And the specific structure of the metal layer is as follows Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown:
[0042] The metal surface patterns of the first metal layer and the second metal layer in the first Huygens achromatic metasurface are the same and the first metal surface pattern is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, Figure 2The first metal surface pattern shown includes several first units, each of which has a diagonal direction that is a ∟-shaped metal pattern from four different samples. The two right-angled sides of the ∟-shaped metal pattern are respectively parallel to the rhombus sides of the prismatic dielectric column and the upper and lower rhombus-shaped base surfaces of the prismatic dielectric column. The right angle formed by the two right-angled sides of the ∟-shaped metal pattern is located in the diagonal direction of the first unit, with the opening of the right angle facing the center of the first unit. This arrangement ensures that the main difference between the different first units along the rhombus side direction lies in the length and width of the right-angled side of the ∟-shaped metal pattern, thereby adjusting the length and width of the right-angled side according to the phase gradient required to achieve wavefront control.
[0043] The third metal layer in the first Huygens achromatic metasurface is a third metal surface pattern as follows: Figure 3 As shown, Figure 3 The third metal surface pattern shown includes several fourth units, each surrounded by four metal wires of varying sizes. The metal wires are parallel to the fourth units, with the center of each wire located on the line connecting the center of the fourth unit and the center of the side of the corresponding fourth unit. This arrangement ensures that the primary difference between fourth units along different diamond sides lies in the length of the metal wires, allowing the length of the metal wires to be adjusted based on the phase gradient required to achieve wavefront control.
[0044] The metal surface patterns of the fourth metal layer and the fifth metal layer in the second Huygens achromatic metasurface are the same and are the second metal surface pattern. Figure 4 As shown, the second metal surface pattern includes a plurality of second units and a plurality of third units, wherein Figure 4 In the middle, 1 is a number of third units, and the rest are a number of second units. The diagonal direction of each second unit is a ∟-shaped metal pattern of four different samples. A rectangular patch is provided in each third unit, and the center of the rectangular patch coincides with the center of the third unit; and the two right-angled sides of the ∟-shaped metal pattern are respectively parallel to the rhombus sides of the prismatic dielectric column and the upper and lower rhombus bottom surfaces of the prismatic dielectric column, and the right angle formed by the two right-angled sides of the ∟-shaped metal pattern is located in the diagonal direction of the second unit, and the opening direction of the right angle is toward the center of the second unit; the purpose of such a setting is to make the main difference between the second units along the rhombus side direction lie in the length of the right-angled side of the ∟-shaped metal pattern and the width of the right-angled side, so as to adjust the length of the right-angled side and the width of the right-angled side according to the phase gradient required to achieve wavefront control; at the same time, the main difference between the third units along the rhombus side direction lies in the size of the rectangular patch, so as to adjust the size of the rectangular patch according to the phase gradient required to achieve wavefront control;
[0045] The sixth metal layer in the second Huygens achromatic metasurface is the fourth metal surface pattern. Figure 5As shown, the fourth metal surface pattern includes a plurality of fifth units and a plurality of sixth units, wherein Figure 5 2 represents several sixth units. Each fifth unit is surrounded by four metal wires of different specifications. Each sixth unit is equipped with a rectangular patch, the center of which coincides with the center of the sixth unit. The metal wires are parallel to the fifth units, and the center of each metal wire is located on the line connecting the center of the fifth unit and the center of the side length of the fifth unit to which the metal wire corresponds. The purpose of this arrangement is to ensure that the main difference between the fifth units along the different directions of the diamond side is the length of the metal wire, and the length of the metal wire is adjusted according to the phase gradient required to achieve wavefront control. At the same time, the main difference between the sixth units along the different directions of the diamond side is the size of the rectangular patch, and the size of the rectangular patch is adjusted according to the phase gradient required to achieve wavefront control.
[0046] In summary, the metal layers in the first Huygens achromatic metasurface and the second Huygens achromatic metasurface can appropriately reduce the ∟-shaped metal patterns, the number of metal wires, and the rectangular patches according to the actual phase requirements that need to be met, thereby not significantly increasing the volume of the metasurface.
[0047] Specifically, the four rectangular side surfaces are congruent rectangles, and the four rectangular side surfaces are perpendicular to the upper and lower rhombus bases of the prismatic dielectric column. The width of the rectangular side surface is equal to the length of the side edges of the prismatic dielectric column. The length of the rectangular side surface is equal to the length of the rhombus sides of the upper and lower rhombus bases of the prismatic dielectric column. The cross-section formed by each rectangular side surface and the two side edges that are not adjacent to the prismatic dielectric column is a rectangle.
[0048] Specifically, the interior angles formed by the upper and lower rhombus bases are 60°, 120°, 60°, and 120°, respectively.
[0049] Specifically, the first Huygens achromatic metasurface and the second Huygens achromatic metasurface are both rectangles that are completely identical to the rectangular side surfaces.
[0050] In this embodiment, the lengths of the first Huygens achromatic metasurface and the second Huygens achromatic metasurface are both equal to the lengths of the rhombus sides of the upper and lower base surfaces of the prismatic dielectric column, and the widths of the first Huygens achromatic metasurface and the second Huygens achromatic metasurface are both equal to the widths of the four rectangular side surfaces, that is, the lengths of the side edges of the prismatic dielectric column.
[0051] Specifically, the lengths of the first Huygens achromatic metasurface and the second Huygens achromatic metasurface are both 248.4 mm, the widths of the first Huygens achromatic metasurface and the second Huygens achromatic metasurface are both 207 mm, and the thicknesses of the first Huygens achromatic metasurface and the second Huygens achromatic metasurface are both 4.3 mm.
[0052] Specifically, the thickness of the first metal layer and the fourth metal layer is 0.1 mm, the thickness of the second metal layer and the fifth metal layer is 0.1 mm, and the thickness of the third metal layer and the sixth metal layer is 0.1 mm.
[0053] Specifically, the first units in the first metal surface pattern are evenly arranged along the rhombus edges of the upper and lower rhombus bottom surfaces of the prismatic dielectric column to form a matrix, and the size of the first units is 10.35 mm.
[0054] Specifically, the second units in the second metal surface pattern are evenly arranged along the rhombus edges of the upper and lower rhombus bottom surfaces of the prismatic dielectric column to form a matrix, and a plurality of third units are arranged in a matrix between the plurality of second units. The sizes of the second and third units are both 10.35 mm.
[0055] Specifically, the fourth units in the third metal surface pattern are evenly arranged along the side edges of the prismatic dielectric column to form a matrix, and the size of the third units is 10.35 mm.

The electromagnetic wavefront is relatively flat in both air and dielectric media, and the propagation direction is consistent, both along the negative z-axis. Furthermore, this embodiment only provides two different metal layer structures. In other embodiments, the metal layers can be configured in other shapes. As long as the metal layers are arranged in an equiperiodic manner and can form the required phase gradient, broadband dispersion-free stealth can be achieved under transmission conditions.
[0058] In summary, the broadband linearly polarized achromatic stealth metadevice under oblique incidence conditions proposed by the present invention achieves wavefront control of electromagnetic waves incident at 30° obliquely from air into a medium and from the medium into air by closely contacting the Huygens achromatic metasurface on the four rectangular side surfaces of a prismatic dielectric column. Specifically, it achieves broadband dispersionless stealth under transmission conditions, ensuring that the wavefront of the electromagnetic wave passing through the prismatic dielectric column, whose four rectangular side surfaces are wrapped by the Huygens achromatic metasurface, maintains the same flatness as the wavefront of the incident wave. Furthermore, the broadband linearly polarized achromatic stealth metadevice under oblique incidence conditions proposed by the present invention is not limited to prismatic dielectric columns but can also be extended to dielectric objects of other geometric shapes.
