Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of communication technology, and more specifically relates to a method for generating quasi-diffraction-free Pilsner vortex beams based on electromagnetic metasurfaces in the field of microwave technology. This invention can be used for multiplexing and transmitting or coding and modulating information in wireless communication, realizing the needs of high-capacity, high-speed wireless communication. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, in the field of communication technology, beams carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) are called vortex beams, and different OAM modes are orthogonal. This new dimension of orbital angular momentum in vortex beams can be used for multiplexing and transmitting information or for coding and modulation in wireless communication, enabling high-capacity, high-speed wireless communication. Traditional vortex beams can be generated using helical phase plates, reflector antennas, and array antennas. However, due to the inherent divergence characteristics of traditional vortex beams, effective reception over long distances is difficult. This makes it challenging to use orbital angular momentum for long-distance communication. Combining quasi-diffraction-free beams with traditional vortex beams can effectively suppress the divergence angle of vortex beams, allowing them to be better applied to long-distance communication. Typical quasi-diffraction-free beams include Bessel beams, Airy beams, and Pearcey beams.
[0003] Chongqing University disclosed a beam phase modulation method in its patent application, "Two-Dimensional Enhanced Focusing Airy OAM Beam Phase Modulation Method" (Application No.: 202211310414.5, Publication No.: CN 115458947 A). This method adds a near-field focusing phase distribution to the Airy OAM phase distribution, and based on the designed focus of the Airy OAM phase distribution, the field contributions of the near-field focusing phase distribution are superimposed in the same direction to obtain an enhanced Airy OAM phase distribution. However, this design method still has shortcomings. Because it only compensates for the phase required by the beam and ignores the beam amplitude information, it affects beam performance, resulting in low energy intensity of the self-focusing beam.
[0004] Guangxi University disclosed a method for generating a self-focusing beam with adjustable focusing times and focal length in its patent application "A Method for Generating a Self-Focusing Beam with Adjustable Focusing Times and Focal Length" (Application No.: 202311203057.7, Publication No.: CN 117192786 A). This method generates a self-focusing beam with adjustable focusing times and focal length by superimposing a circular Pilsner beam and a circular Bessel beam. However, this design method still has shortcomings. Due to the complex structure and high cost of spatial light modulators, the beam generation cost is high and the structure is not simple enough.
[0005] Zhejiang Normal University disclosed a method for generating a cluster of Pearcey beams of arbitrary shape in its patent application, "A Method for Generating a Pearcey Beam Cluster" (Application No.: 201510434964.1, Publication No.: CN 105182543 A). This method, based on differential geometry and Fresnel diffraction theory, derives the general parabolic function bifurcation point set and presents a method for generating Pearcey beams of arbitrary shape using amplitude modulation and Fresnel diffraction. However, this design method still has shortcomings. Because it only designs the Pearcey beam and does not integrate the design of the Pearcey beam and the vortex beam, the beam generated by this method cannot simultaneously possess the characteristics of the Pearcey beam's freely adjustable focal length and the orthogonal OAM modes of the vortex beam. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art by proposing a design method for a quasi-diffraction-free Pilssie vortex beam electromagnetic metasurface. This method solves the problems of poor performance, complex device structure, and high cost of quasi-diffraction-free beams, and the inability of the generated beams to simultaneously possess the characteristics of Pilssie beams (allowing for free focal length adjustment) and vortex beams (allowing for mutually orthogonal OAM modes).
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to compensate for the phase and amplitude of quasi-diffraction-free Pilsey vortex beams with different focal points through the design of an electromagnetic metasurface. The resulting beam exhibits excellent propagation characteristics, superior beam performance, and high energy intensity, solving the problem of poor beam performance caused by prior art that only compensates for the phase. This invention generates quasi-diffraction-free beams through an electromagnetic metasurface, which has the advantages of simple structure, low loss, and low cost, overcoming the problems of complex and costly lens structures manufactured using optical methods in existing technologies. This invention generates a quasi-diffraction-free Pilsey vortex beam in the microwave frequency band through the design of an electromagnetic metasurface. Compared with other quasi-diffraction-free beams, this beam combines the quasi-diffraction-free characteristics of Pilsey beams with the advantages of orthogonal OAM modes in vortex beams, offering the advantage of flexible control over the focal point position. This solves the problem that existing technologies cannot simultaneously possess the freely adjustable focal length of Pilsey beams and the orthogonal OAM modes of vortex beams.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention includes the following:
[0009] Step 1: Calculate the focus adjustment factor based on the focus of the quasi-diffraction-free Pilssie vortex beam to be generated;
[0010] Step 2: Set the scale of the electromagnetic metasurface, the spacing of the electromagnetic metasurface units, the OAM mode of the quasi-diffraction-free Pilssie vortex beam, and the position of the feed horn.
[0011] Step 3: Calculate the Pilsier integral for each unit of the electromagnetic metasurface based on the focus adjustment factor;
[0012] Step 4: Calculate the required modulation amplitude and compensation phase for each unit of the electromagnetic metasurface based on the Pierce integral of the coordinates of each unit.
[0013] Step 5: Design the electromagnetic metasurface unit and draw the transmission phase table and transmission amplitude table of the electromagnetic metasurface unit;
[0014] Step 6: Adjust the state of each unit of the electromagnetic metasurface according to the required control amplitude and compensation phase of each unit to obtain the electromagnetic metasurface;
[0015] Step 7: Place the electromagnetic metasurface and the feed horn at the set position, and apply an radio frequency signal to the feed horn to generate a quasi-diffraction-free Pilsner vortex beam with a configurable focal length.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] First, this invention compensates for both the phase and amplitude required by the beam simultaneously through the design of an electromagnetic metasurface, overcoming the shortcomings of existing technologies that only compensate for the phase of the beam. This results in a beam with excellent propagation characteristics, superior beam performance, and high beam energy intensity, which is expected to be applied in far-field communication, imaging, detection, and other applications.
[0018] Secondly, the present invention generates quasi-diffraction-free beams through electromagnetic metasurfaces, overcoming the disadvantages of complex and high-cost lens structures manufactured by optical methods in the prior art. This makes the electromagnetic metasurface designed in the present invention have the advantages of simple structure, low loss and low cost.
[0019] Third, this invention generates a quasi-diffraction-free Pilsier vortex beam in the microwave band, overcoming the shortcomings of existing beam designs that cannot simultaneously possess the characteristics of Pilsier beams (allowing for free focal length adjustment) and vortex beams (characteristics of mutually orthogonal OAM modes). This invention's quasi-diffraction-free Pilsier beam combines the advantages of both Pilsier beams (quasi-diffraction-free characteristics) and vortex beams (mutually orthogonal OAM modes), offering the advantage of flexible control over the focal point. This facilitates its application in wireless communication for information multiplexing, transmission, or coding modulation, fulfilling the requirements of high-capacity, high-speed wireless communication.
