[0002] A frequency selective surface (FSS) is a two-dimensional periodic array structure composed of resonant elements that exhibits the characteristics of an electromagnetic wave space filter. It can be designed to transmit and reflect electromagnetic waves within a specific frequency band. FSSs have wide applications in radomes, absorbers, space filters, shielding devices, and wireless communication systems.

Detailed Implementation

[0053] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments, but the implementation of the present invention is not limited thereto.

[0054] Example 1

[0055] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a unit structure of a transmissive and reflective switchable frequency selective surface structure provided in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a side view of a unit structure of a transmissive and reflective switchable frequency selectable surface structure provided in an embodiment of the present invention.

[0056] This embodiment provides a frequency-selective surface unit structure with switchable transmission and reflection, comprising: a first metal layer 1, a dielectric substrate 2, and a second metal layer 3 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The first metal layer 1 includes: a cross-shaped fractal structure 11, a cross-connecting square ring 12, and four photodiodes 13, wherein the cross-shaped fractal structure 11 is disposed on the upper surface of the dielectric substrate 2. The cross-connecting square ring 12 is located outside the cross-shaped fractal structure 11, and the four photodiodes 13 are respectively connected between the four ends of the cross-shaped fractal structure 11 and the cross-connecting square ring 12. The centers of the cross-shaped fractal structure 11 and the cross-connecting square ring 12 coincide, and both are centrally symmetrical structures.

[0057] Specifically, the cross fractal structure 11 is disposed at the center of the upper surface of the dielectric substrate 2. When the photodiode 13 is off, the cross fractal structure 11 and the cross-connected square loop 12 are in a separated state. When the photodiode 13 is on, the cross fractal structure 11 and the cross-connected square loop 12 are in a connected state. In the transmission mode, the external optical signal turns off the photodiode 13, and the photocurrent changes the current path on the surface of the first metal layer 1. At this time, the surface current is mainly concentrated on the cross-connected square loop 12, reducing the reflection and enabling the electromagnetic wave to pass through effectively. Conversely, in the reflection mode, by adjusting the optical signal to turn on the photodiode 13, the surface current is mainly concentrated on the cross fractal structure 11. At this time, the on state of the photodiode 13 increases the equivalent impedance of the first metal layer 1, preventing the transmission of the electromagnetic wave and causing the electromagnetic wave to be reflected, achieving the stealth effect. In this embodiment, by precisely controlling the on and off states of the photodiode 13, the switching between the transmission mode and the reflection mode is achieved, and it can flexibly switch between the transmission and reflection modes at a frequency of 11.1 GHz, realizing the dynamic regulation of electromagnetic waves. Moreover, since both the cross fractal structure 11 and the cross-connected square loop 12 are centrosymmetric structures, that is, the first metal layer 1 is a centrosymmetric structure, the frequency selective surface unit structure provided in this embodiment has good angular stability and polarization stability.

[0058] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , the cross fractal structure 11 includes: a central rectangular portion 111 and four L-shaped fractal portions 112. Among them, the central rectangular portion 111 is disposed at the center of the upper surface of the dielectric substrate 2. The four L-shaped fractal portions 112 are respectively connected to the four sides of the central rectangular portion 111.

[0059] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 4 , the L-shaped fractal portion 112 includes: a first rectangular portion 1121, a second rectangular portion 1122, and a slit 1123. Among them, the first rectangular portion 1121 is connected to the side of the central rectangular portion 111. The second rectangular portion 1122 is disposed perpendicular to the first rectangular portion 1121 and is connected to one side of the first rectangular portion 1121. The slit 1123 is disposed perpendicular to the first rectangular portion 1121 and extends from the other side of the first rectangular portion 1121 into the interior of the second rectangular portion 1122. Specifically, the first rectangular portion 1121, the second rectangular portion 1122, and the slit 1123 form the L-shaped fractal portion 112.

[0060] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3The cross-connecting square ring 12 includes four triangular structures 121, four square ring connecting portions 122, and four connecting lines 123. The four triangular structures 121 are respectively located at the ends of the four fractal portions 112, and there is a gap between each triangular structure 121 and each fractal portion 112. The four square ring connecting portions 122 are respectively connected between every two adjacent triangular structures 121. The four connecting lines 123 are respectively connected at the midpoint of each square ring connecting portion 122.

[0061] In this embodiment, four photodiodes 13 are respectively disposed at the intervals between the four triangular structures 121 and the four fractal portions 112, and the positive terminal of the photodiode 13 is connected to the fractal portion 112, and the negative terminal of the photodiode 13 is connected to the triangular structure 121.

[0062] In this embodiment, the dielectric substrate 2 and the central rectangular portion 111 are concentric squares. The width of the first rectangular portion 1121 is equal to the side length of the central rectangular portion 111. The long axis of the first rectangular portion 1121 lies on the axis of the dielectric substrate 2. The triangular structure 121 is an isosceles triangle, with its apex facing the edge of the dielectric substrate 2, and its median lying on the axis of the dielectric substrate 2. Four connecting lines 123 extend from the midpoint of each square ring connecting portion 122 to the four corners of the dielectric substrate 2. It should be understood that the long axis of the first rectangular portion 1121 is the axis of the first rectangular portion 1121 along its length.

[0063] Please see Figure 5 In this embodiment, the second metal layer 3 includes four rectangular structures 31. The four rectangular structures 31 are all located on the lower surface of the dielectric substrate 2, and the four rectangular structures 31 extend from the midpoint of the four sides of the dielectric substrate 2 toward the center of the dielectric substrate 2.

[0064] Specifically, the long axis of the first rectangular portion 1121 is aligned with the midline of the triangular structure 121. A photodiode 13 is disposed between the end of the first rectangular portion 1121 and the base of the triangular structure 121. The positive terminal of the photodiode 13 is connected to the first rectangular portion 1121, and the negative terminal of the photodiode 13 is connected to the triangular structure 121. Square ring connecting portions 122 are connected between the base corners of every two adjacent triangular structures 121, and the four square ring connecting portions 122 and the outer edges of the four triangular structures 121 form a square. The axis of the rectangular structure 31 coincides with the axis of the dielectric substrate 2, and there is a gap between the ends of the four rectangular structures 31. It should be understood that the dielectric substrate 2 has two mutually perpendicular axes; the axes of two rectangular structures 31 coincide with one axis of the dielectric substrate 2, and the axes of the other two rectangular structures 31 coincide with the other axis of the dielectric substrate 2. In this embodiment, both the first metal layer 1 and the second metal layer 3 are centrosymmetric structures and axially symmetric structures.

[0065] In this embodiment, the materials of the first metal layer 1 and the second metal layer 3 both include one of copper (Cu), aluminum (Al), and gold (Au). The material of the dielectric substrate 2 includes a flexible flame-retardant material. Furthermore, the dielectric substrate 2 has a relative permittivity of 2.65, an electrical cutting loss of 0.0001, a thickness of 0.3 mm, and the thicknesses of the first metal layer 1 and the second metal layer 3 are 0.017 mm to 0.035 mm. The side length of the dielectric substrate 2 is 9 mm. Exemplarily, the material of the dielectric substrate 2 is F4B substrate.

[0066] The frequency-selective surface unit structure with transmittance and reflection switchability provided in this embodiment achieves the transmittance and reflection switching function through photodiodes. It is not easily damaged by heat, is compatible with various electromagnetic environments, and exhibits high stability. It flexibly switches between transmittance and reflection modes near 11.1 GHz, simultaneously ensuring signal transmission in the X-band and the stealth capability of the antenna system. Furthermore, this embodiment uses a flexible material as the dielectric substrate, possessing better conformal capabilities and greater practical application value. The surface unit structure provided in this embodiment has a surface size of only 9mm*9mm, meeting the trend of miniaturization and the requirements of processing technology. Moreover, since the first metal layer 1 and the second metal layer 3 are centrosymmetric structures, this frequency-selective surface unit structure has good angular stability and polarization stability, with minimal changes in resonant frequency and bandwidth when irradiated by incident waves at different angles.

That is to say, in TE polarization mode, this FSS structure has the effect of flexibly switching between transmission mode and reflection mode for signals with frequencies around 11.1 GHz (10.9~11.2 GHz).

[0076] Furthermore, from Figure 9 and Figure 10 As can be seen from the return loss S11 and insertion loss S21, when the photodiode is on, the resonant frequency of the FSS structure in this embodiment is 11.1 GHz, the insertion loss S21 is -69.7 dB, and the bandwidth at -10 dB is 5.1 GHz.
