Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of electromagnetic wave filtering, in particular to a dual-polarization angle selection surface with wide passband angle and out-of-band steep drop characteristics. Background Art

[0002] In the past few decades, controlling the propagation of electromagnetic waves has been a hot topic for scientists, including the selection of the frequency, polarization and incident angle of electromagnetic waves. The theory and structural design related to the frequency filtering and polarization selection of electromagnetic waves have made great progress. In contrast, the analysis and design of the selection of the incident angle of electromagnetic waves has developed relatively slowly.

[0003] Angle-selective surface structures are generally array structures that are periodically arranged along one or two dimensions, allowing electromagnetic waves incident at a certain angle to pass through and reflecting electromagnetic waves at other incident angles. This characteristic makes it widely used in the microwave field, such as antenna sidelobe suppression, angle-selective absorbers, high-efficiency energy capture, anti-interference communications, transmitter angle control, etc.; At present, the design method of angle-selective surface structures is mainly based on the extraction of equivalent impedance or equivalent dielectric parameters. This method requires the extraction of equivalent impedance or dielectric parameters based on the calculation of the reflection transmission coefficient of the angle-selective surface structure, and finally further design based on the equivalent impedance or dielectric parameters. Since it is impossible to directly determine the correspondence between the geometric structure and the equivalent impedance or dielectric parameters for any periodic structure, the design method based on the extraction of equivalent impedance or equivalent dielectric parameters is relatively cumbersome.

[0004] In practical applications, it is often necessary to simultaneously control dual-polarized electromagnetic waves, but most of the current angle-selective surface structures can only control the incidence of single-polarized electromagnetic waves, and there are relatively few studies on the simultaneous control of dual-polarized electromagnetic waves. The use of angle-selective surface structures with wide passband angles in antennas can reduce the loss of effective antenna radiation and increase the integration and portability of communication systems. However, the passband angle of the angle-selective structure that can currently control dual-polarized electromagnetic waves is relatively narrow, reaching a maximum of 25°. The use of angle-selective surface structures with steep out-of-band drop in antennas can effectively suppress antenna sidelobes and improve the antenna's directivity and anti-interference capabilities. Therefore, how to efficiently design angle-selective surface structures with wide passband angles, high selectivity, and polarization insensitivity is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the invention
