Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of electromagnetic spatial filtering and stealth technology, and specifically relates to a single-layer frequency selective surface broadband design method based on a topology optimization method. Background Art

[0002] A frequency selective surface (FSS) is a periodic structure arranged on a two-dimensional plane, primarily composed of metal layers supported by a single or multi-layer dielectric substrate. As a spatial filter, it exhibits selectivity for electromagnetic waves and is widely used in reflective antennas, radomes, and on the surfaces of ships and aircraft. As the electromagnetic environment becomes increasingly complex, broadband bandpass FSSs with excellent angular stability have attracted increasing attention. However, in practical applications, the thickness of FSSs is often significantly limited. Thin, simple FSSs are often unaffected by processing techniques and the operating environment, allowing them to more stably exert their filtering properties.

[0003] Chinese patent application number CN202311780852.2 discloses an ultra-wideband Ka-band frequency selective surface with steeply dropping sidebands. This surface achieves broadband passband by introducing multiple transmission poles within the passband and rapid roll-off into the stopband by introducing transmission zeros on either side of the passband. While achieving good passband edge roll-off, the surface utilizes a complex structure with three metal layers and two dielectric layers, resulting in poor angular stability.

[0004] Chinese patent application number CN202310809939.1 discloses a high-order, broadband, miniaturized frequency selective surface (MFSS) based on a knitted structure. This technology improves filtering characteristics by replacing the traditional metal wireframe with a knitted structure based on a conventional MFSS. This prior art exhibits good broadband bandpass characteristics and mitigates the effects of TM waves at wide angles. However, its numerous metal layers and complex interlayer structure limit its application scenarios.

[0005] Chinese patent application number CN202311391179.3 discloses a low-insertion-loss, wide-bandwidth adjustable active frequency selective surface (AFSS). This technology utilizes a varactor diode and a feed metal structure to achieve wideband passband tunability. This prior art boasts a wide adjustable bandwidth, low insertion loss, and covers both the C-band and S-band. However, varactor diodes are more expensive and less reliable than FSSs, hindering widespread civilian use and limiting their application scenarios.

[0006] Chinese patent application number CN202211598303.9 discloses an ultra-wideband reconfigurable frequency selective surface with wide incidence angles and polarization insensitivity. By adjusting the on / off state of the PIN transistors, broadband shielding and transmission can be switched. This prior art achieves full polarization shielding and transmission of electromagnetic waves, and its three-layer structure offers wide bandwidth and good oblique-incidence performance. However, the structure lacks a bias line for voltage adjustment, requiring an external bias line to switch the PIN transistors on and off, which is not conducive to practical application.

[0007] Existing FSS design methods mostly rely on experience to select the initial structure and further optimize dimensional parameters using equivalent circuit methods. Since the metal layers in the initial structure typically use conventional patterns, there are fewer dimensional parameters that can be optimized, and the performance of single-layer metal patterns is limited. Designing broadband bandpass frequency selective surfaces often relies on multilayer structures or tunable diodes to achieve functionality. These existing technologies have certain limitations, primarily due to their overly complex structures and their inability to balance angular stability, often affected by the operating environment. Therefore, existing design methods are not universally applicable. In summary, achieving wide-angle stability within a simple structure has become a challenge in broadband FSS design.

[0114] In this embodiment, the metal distribution on the upper and lower surfaces of the frequency selective surface is optimized. When using the variable density method for topology optimization of metal, its material properties are usually optimized. The conductivity of the area to be optimized is used as the optimization variable. By using an exponential function for function mapping, the conductivity can smoothly transition between air (conductivity is 0) and metal (conductivity is close to infinity). Therefore, the conductivity of the area to be optimized can be expressed as:

The optimized area is the metal on the upper and lower surfaces of the frequency selective surface unit. By optimizing the metal arrangement, the transmission band is fully covered in the Ku band under the 0N60° oblique incidence range, achieving in-band transmission and out-of-band suppression. The objective function is set to

[0118] ftotal =-(-f 10GHz -f 11.5GHz +f 12.5GHz +f 14.5GHz +f 15GHz

[0120] Among them, f total represents the overall objective function, f αGHz represents the wave transmission coefficient at a frequency of α GHz. This objective function is to improve the wave transmission efficiency at 12.5 GHz, 14.5 GHz, 15 GHz, 16.5 GHz, and 17.5 GHz, and reduce the wave transmission efficiency at 10 GHz, 11.5 GHz, 18.5 GHz, and 20 GHz, thereby achieving the goals of in-band transmission and out-of-band suppression in the Ku band.

Substituting them into the linear equation group and its adjoint equation in step 1, a pair of solutions c and v are obtained.

[0123] Substitute the c obtained at each frequency into formula (3) to obtain the wave transmission coefficient of the frequency selective surface at each frequency, and use formula (13) to quickly interpolate formula (12) to obtain S that changes with frequency: 21 The curve is used to judge the convergence conditions. If the convergence conditions are met, the structure corresponding to the output parameters is used as the final result. If the convergence conditions are not met, the solutions c and v at each frequency are substituted into the gradient formula of the objective function to obtain the gradient value corresponding to the optimization variable. Then, the moving asymptote method is used as the gradient optimization method to update the old optimization variables and obtain new optimization variables until the new S is obtained. 21 The -3dB bandwidth covers the Ku band.

[0125] Figure 5 is the S of the TE mode at different incident angles in the optimization example described in this embodiment. 21 curve, Figure 6 is the S of the TM mode at different incident angles in the optimization example described in this embodiment. 21 The curve shows that in the range of TE polarization oblique incidence of 0° to 60°, the -3dB bandwidth is 11.78GHz to 18.48GHz, and in the range of TM polarization oblique incidence of 0° to 60°, the -3dB bandwidth is 10.78GHz to 18.79GHz. The two polarizations completely cover the entire Ku band.

[0126] In summary, the present invention discloses a single-layer frequency selective surface broadband design method based on topology optimization method. The present invention derives the accompanying sensitivity analysis method of the periodic unit wave transmission coefficient and adopts the S 21 Interpolation fitting method to quickly calculate S that changes with frequency 21 The curve greatly reduces the number of sampling points within the broadband, shortens the time required for topology optimization, and further improves the optimization efficiency and performance of broadband frequency selective surfaces. It can be used to design various thin-layer frequency selective surface units, expanding the scope of application of topology optimization methods in frequency selective surface unit design. A case study was designed to achieve full coverage of the Ku band under oblique incidence of 0 to 60 degrees, achieving in-band transmission and out-of-band suppression. The optimized frequency selective surface unit has good performance, with a -3dB bandwidth of 11.78 GHz to 18.48 GHz for TE polarization and 10.78 GHz to 18.79 GHz for TM polarization. Both polarizations of the unit fully cover the entire Ku band, effectively achieving the design goal, while maintaining a simple structure and taking into account broadband transmission and wide-angle stability.
