Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of electromagnetic field and microwave technology, and in particular relates to a frequency selective surface with an adjustable dual-frequency wave-transmitting window and high-angle stability. Background Art

[0002] A frequency selective surface (FSS) is typically a two-dimensional periodic array structure that exhibits specific selectivity for electromagnetic wave operating frequency, polarization, and angle of incidence, effectively controlling the reflection and transmission of electromagnetic waves. Due to its unique spatial filtering properties, FSSs are widely used in radar stealth, electromagnetic compatibility, wireless communications, and electronic countermeasures.

[0003] To overcome the limitation of traditional passive frequency selective surfaces (FSSs), which retain their fixed resonant characteristics after fabrication, active devices (such as PIN diodes and varactors) are incorporated into FSS structures to adapt to complex and changing electromagnetic environments. Due to the advantages of varactors, such as short response time, wide tuning range, compact size, and low cost, tunable FSSs based on varactors have become a research hotspot in recent years. These tunable FSSs not only address the in-band stealth issue of radomes but also provide tuning solutions for absorbing materials, electromagnetic shielding materials, active phased array radars, and beam-steering antennas, offering broad application prospects.

[0004] Dual-band FSSs have a wide range of applications in areas such as MIMO antennas and multi-band communication systems, and have garnered significant attention in recent years. However, research on dual-band tunable FSSs is relatively limited. The bias network that provides the bias voltage for the varactors affects the electromagnetic properties of the tunable frequency selective surface, and the complexity of the feeder increases the design difficulty of independently tunable dual-passband FSSs. Furthermore, independent tuning of the dual-band wave-transmitting windows requires multiple varactor diodes. Active FSS structures proposed in the literature require 16 varactor diodes per periodic unit. Arraying these components results in a large number of active components, which increases manufacturing complexity and cost. Furthermore, the resonant frequency of the frequency selective surface shifts when electromagnetic waves are incident at large angles. Further research is needed to achieve stable wave-transmitting performance to meet the requirements of practical applications in engineering fields such as conformal radar radomes.

[0038] The bent branch 24 on the arc-shaped metal ring 25 is a structure composed of the ends of multiple arc-shaped metal sheets with gradually decreasing arc lengths connected in sequence. These arc-shaped metal sheets and the arc-shaped metal ring 25 have the same center of the circle, and the bent branch 24 is located on the outside of the arc-shaped metal ring 25; the bent branch 24 is connected to the middle part of the inner side of the arc-shaped metal ring 25 through a metal sheet.

The T-shaped metal feed lines 32 are distributed around the cross metal feed line 31 and connected at their ends, forming a square structure that matches the size of the frequency selective unit. The T-shaped metal feed lines 32 are connected to the cross dipoles 21 on the top surface of the dielectric substrate 1 through second metal vias 8, which are located at the four corners of the frequency selective unit.

[0046] 3. Active devices

[0047] The active device includes a first varactor diode 4 and a second varactor diode 5; the first varactor diode 4 is welded between the arc branch 22 and the bent branch 24 of the top metal resonant structure 2, and its positive electrode is connected to the cross dipole 21 through the arc branch 22, and its negative electrode is connected to the bent branch 24; the second varactor diode 5 is welded between the end connection of the adjacent arc-shaped metal ring 25 and the corresponding square patch 23 corner, and its positive electrode is connected to the square patch 23, and its negative electrode is connected to the arc-shaped metal ring 25.

[0048] Let the two adjacent sides of the frequency selection unit be the X direction and the Y direction respectively, and the vertical direction be the Z direction. Then, a lumped resistor 6 is arranged in the first gap 33 in the X direction between the cross metal feed line 31 and the T-shaped metal feed line 32, and in the second gap 34 in the X direction on the T-shaped metal feed line 32, thereby connecting the cross metal feed line 31 and the T-shaped metal feed line 32 in the X direction. The resistance of the lumped resistor 6 is 10000Ω.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first varactor diode 4 and the second varactor diode 5 are both of model MA46H120, which can provide a variable capacitance between 0.1-1 pF at a reverse bias voltage between 16V and 0V.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 The top metal resonant structure 2 on the upper and lower surfaces of the dielectric substrate 1 corresponds to the center of the cross metal feed line 31 in the bottom metal feed structure 3, and is vertically connected by a first metal via 7.

By changing the bias voltage, the variable capacitance value of the active device is controlled, thereby independently adjusting the dual operating frequency bands of the adjustable frequency selective surface, realizing the broadband reconfigurable function of the wave-transmitting window.

[0051] The following is a further explanation of the technical effects of the present invention in conjunction with simulation experiments:

[0052] In order to verify that the proposed adjustable frequency selective surface has the characteristics of broadband reconfigurable wave window, the transmission curves of the varactor diodes of the embodiment of the present invention are simulated independently. The results are as follows: Figure 5 shown.

[0053] See also Figure 5 Figure (a) shows the frequency response curves for TE-polarized waves with perpendicular incidence, while the second varactor value C2 remains at 0.1pF and the first varactor value varies. It can be seen that as the first varactor value C1 increases from 0.1pF to 0.8pF, the resonant frequency of the second passband remains constant at 9.63GHz, while the resonant frequency of the first passband can be continuously tuned over the range of 2.4-5.75GHz, achieving a relative bandwidth of 82.1% and an insertion loss consistently below 1dB.

[0054] See also Figure 5 Figure (b) shows the frequency response curves for different first varactor values, with the first varactor value C1 maintained at 0.8pF, for a TE-polarized wave with normal incidence. As can be seen, as the second varactor value C2 increases from 0.1pF to 0.4pF, the resonant frequency of the first passband remains constant at 2.4GHz, while the resonant frequency of the second passband can be continuously tuned over the range of 5.7-9.63GHz, achieving a relative bandwidth of 51.2% and an insertion loss consistently less than 1dB.

[0055] In order to verify that the proposed adjustable frequency selective surface has the characteristic of stable incident angle, the transmission curves of electromagnetic waves with different oblique incident angles of the embodiment of the present invention are simulated. The results are as follows: Figure 6 shown.

[0056] See also Figure 6 Figure (a) shows the frequency response curves for different incident angles of TE polarized waves, with the first varactor diode C1 maintained at 0.1pF and the second varactor diode C2 maintained at 0.4pF. As can be seen, as the angle of the oblique incident electromagnetic wave increases to 75°, the resonant frequency remains essentially the same as at normal incidence, and the in-band insertion loss remains below 3dB, demonstrating good angular stability.

[0057] See also Figure 6 Figure (b) shows the frequency response curves for different incident angles of TE polarized waves, with the first varactor diode C1 maintained at 0.8pF and the second varactor diode C2 maintained at 0.3pF. As can be seen, as the angle of the oblique incident electromagnetic wave increases to 75°, the resonant frequency remains essentially the same as at normal incidence, and the in-band insertion loss remains below 3dB, demonstrating good angular stability.
