Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electromagnetic wave filtering, and in particular to a dual-polarized angle selective surface with wide passband angle and out-of-band steep drop characteristics. BACKGROUND

[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, while the analysis and design of the selection of the incident angle of electromagnetic waves have relatively developed slowly.

[0003] The angle selective surface structure is generally an array structure periodically arranged in one or two dimensions, allowing electromagnetic waves to be transmitted at a certain angle of incidence and reflecting electromagnetic waves of other angles of incidence. This characteristic makes it widely used in the field of microwaves, such as sidelobe suppression of antennas, angle selective absorber, high efficiency energy capture, anti-jamming communication, transmitter angle control, etc. The current design method of angle selective surface structure is mainly based on the extraction of equivalent impedance or equivalent medium parameters. This method needs to extract the equivalent impedance or medium parameters on the basis of calculating the reflection transmission coefficient of the angle selective surface structure, and finally further design based on the equivalent impedance or medium parameters. Since the corresponding relationship between the geometric structure and the equivalent impedance or medium parameters cannot be directly determined for any periodic structure, the design method based on the extraction of equivalent impedance or medium parameters is relatively cumbersome.

[0004] In practical applications, dual-polarized electromagnetic waves often need to be controlled simultaneously, but most of the current angle selective surface structures can only control the incidence of single-polarized electromagnetic waves, and the research on the simultaneous control of dual-polarized electromagnetic waves is relatively less. The angle selective surface structure with wide passband angle is used in antennas, which can reduce the loss of effective radiation of the antenna and increase the integration and portability of the communication system. However, the passband angle of the angle selective structure that can simultaneously control dual-polarized electromagnetic waves is relatively narrow, and the maximum can only reach 25°. The angle selective surface structure with out-of-band steep drop is used in antennas, which can effectively suppress the sidelobe of the antenna and improve the directivity and anti-interference ability of the antenna. Therefore, how to efficiently design an angle selective surface structure with wide passband angle, high selectivity and polarization insensitivity is a problem to be solved. SUMMARY
