Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to an aircraft communication component and communication method. Background Technology
[0002] When various high-speed aircraft fly at hypersonic speeds (typically Mach 10-25) in near space, the gas surrounding the aircraft is compressed and heated by the hypersonic shock wave. The friction between air molecules and the aircraft surface triggers violent thermal motion, causing them to decompose and ionize, forming a plasma sheath that envelops the aircraft. This high-density, highly impactful, and dynamic plasma sheath attenuates and shields communication signals, leading to signal amplitude attenuation and phase distortion. This results in the interruption of radio signals for navigation, data transmission, telemetry, and remote control—a phenomenon known as the blackout. The communication interruption caused by the presence of the plasma sheath severely impacts and restricts the rapid development of manned spaceflight, deep space exploration, military equipment, and future space shuttles. The blackout problem is a pressing technical challenge that needs to be addressed.
[0003] Currently, methods for alleviating communication blackouts both domestically and internationally can be mainly divided into two categories: active methods and passive methods.
[0004] Active methods focus on controlling the spatial distribution of plasma, reducing the electron density at the antenna window, and minimizing the attenuation of electromagnetic waves in the plasma. Examples include electrophilic material injection and magnetic windowing.
[0005] The passive approach attempts to explore the feasibility of breaking through communication barriers in new electromagnetic wave frequency bands (such as Ka, THz, and laser bands).
[0006] The aforementioned blackout mitigation technologies all face certain engineering costs and challenges. High-frequency communication technology is limited by factors such as atmospheric rain attenuation, short propagation distance, and high power requirements, and still faces significant challenges in engineering applications.
[0007] Electrophilic material injection is difficult to implement due to its limited injection range, making it hard to penetrate the entire plasma sheath. Magnetic windowing, which uses strong electromagnetic fields to control plasma distribution, requires a large and heavy magnetic generator, severely impacting the spacecraft's payload and resulting in low practicality and economic efficiency.
[0008] In the prior art, patent number 201710049140.1 discloses a method for X-ray communication in the blackout zone during the reentry of an aircraft. X-ray communication has an absolute advantage in penetrating plasma, but due to its high directivity, the aircraft and the ground receiving end must maintain extremely high alignment accuracy.
[0009] Patent No. 202410148826.3 discloses a black barrier communication method based on gain metamaterials. This method fixes the frequency of the incident electromagnetic wave and simultaneously adjusts the dielectric constant and permeability of the matching metamaterial, which is difficult to implement. Although the matching method using a negative permeability metamaterial can improve the input wave impedance of the plasma, the plasma density is low and there are still great limitations in strong collision environments.

[0090] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0091] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present invention can be combined with each other.
[0092] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, but this is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Specific Implementation Method 1
[0094] The black-barrier communication method based on gain metamaterials in this embodiment is as follows:
[0095] Simulate the generation of a plasma-gain metamaterial matching system;
[0096] The matching system consists of a symmetrically and fitted plasma layer and a simulated gain metamaterial layer;
[0097] The thickness of the simulated gain metamaterial layer is equal to the thickness of the plasma layer, and the dielectric constant of the simulated gain metamaterial layer and the relative dielectric constant of the plasma layer satisfy the following equation:
[0098]
[0099] in, The simulated dielectric constant of the metamaterial layer for simulating gain; * represents the dielectric constant of the plasma layer; * indicates conjugate. This refers to any position along the thickness direction of the plasma layer or the simulated gain metamaterial layer, specifically at the interface between the plasma layer and the simulated gain metamaterial layer. ;
[0100] The frequency of the incident electromagnetic wave when the matching system is in equilibrium and stable is taken as the frequency of the communication signal.
[0101] The balanced stability of a matched system is the state in which the gain and loss of the matched system are balanced and the eigenvalue curve is closed.
[0102] When a matching system is formed between the physical gain metamaterial layer and the plasma layer at the blackout, communication is carried out through a communication signal that conforms to the communication signal frequency;
[0103] The physical gain metamaterial layer and the simulated gain metamaterial layer have the same thickness and dielectric constant.
[0104] Specifically, this invention provides a signal loss compensation scheme based on gain metamaterials. By constructing a metamaterial-plasma bilayer structure that balances gain and loss, the transmission rate of electromagnetic waves (GHz band) in dense, strongly impacting plasma can be effectively improved.
[0105] The specific steps are as follows:
[0106] Step 1: On the ground, the plasma parameter diagnostic module is used to simulate and predict typical blackout plasma layer environments (plasma sheaths) at different altitudes.
[0107] Step 2: Simulate the metamaterial with balanced gain using the matching stability assessment module to assess the matching stability of the metamaterial-plasma system:
[0108] Stability assessment of a plasma-gain metamaterial matched system. A metamaterial with a simulated equilibrium gain level is used, its gain characteristics characterized by the imaginary part of its dielectric constant. The gain level of the metamaterial is comparable to the loss level of the plasma, and its dielectric constant ε² can be expressed as:
[0109] ε2(x)=ε p * (-x)
[0110] In the formula, * indicates taking the conjugate.
[0111] like Figure 2 As shown, a plasma layer and a gain metamaterial layer, both with a thickness of d, are placed side by side. The relative permittivity and relative permeability of the plasma layer and the gain metamaterial layer are respectively (ε... p μ p =1) and (ε2, μ2=1), with vacuum on both sides. A TM (Transverse Magnetic Field) polarized electromagnetic wave is incident obliquely on the double-layer structure from the left or right, with a frequency of f and an incident angle of θ.
[0112] Step 3: Form a solid metamaterial with a balanced gain level. The thickness of the solid metamaterial is consistent with that of the plasma. The dielectric constant of the metamaterial can be determined according to the selected communication wave frequency, and then adjusted to the corresponding value through the gain metamaterial tuning module.
[0113] Step 4: Transmit the corresponding communication signal. Specific Implementation Method Two
[0115] This embodiment is a further explanation of embodiment one. In this embodiment, evaluating whether the matching system is balanced and stable includes:
[0116] The two eigenvalues of the matching system are obtained by calculating the scattering matrix S. and and two eigenvectors and ;
[0117] Formula 1

[0122] By conserving energy, the scattering parameter relationship is obtained when gain and loss are balanced:
[0123] Formula 4
[0124] in, , , ;
[0125] Introducing the conditions for the coincidence of two eigenvalues and two eigenvectors in a matching system. or Solving for ;
[0126] Substituting Formula 4 into Formula 1, we get:
[0127] Formula 5
[0128]
[0129] Solving ;
[0130] Determine whether two feature values of the matching system satisfy If the eigenvalue curve is closed, the matching system is stable.
[0131] The other technical features of this embodiment are exactly the same as those of Embodiment 1.
[0132] Specifically, the evaluation process in step 2 of Example 1 is as follows:
[0133] The matching stability of the plasma-metamaterial system is described by the scattering matrix S:
[0134]
[0135] In the formula, r in the diagonal component L and r R These represent the reflection coefficients when the electromagnetic wave is incident from the left and right sides, respectively, with t in the off-diagonal component. Land t R These represent the transmission coefficients when electromagnetic waves are incident from the left and right sides, respectively. In the equilibrium system, t=t L =t R .
[0136] Solving for the eigenvalues of the scattering matrix S in the equation allows us to analyze the singularity condition where the eigenvalues and eigenvectors coincide, revealing anomalous scattering phenomena. The eigenvalues of the scattering matrix can be obtained from the above equation. and and eigenvectors and for
[0137] Formula 1
[0138] , Formula 2
[0139] Formula 3
[0140]
[0141] According to the above formula, when r L =0 or r R When = 0, the eigenvalues and eigenvectors coincide, forming a singularity. At this point, the system exhibits anisotropic transmission, meaning unidirectional non-reflection. If the system's gain and loss are balanced, the scattering parameters have the following relationship:
[0142]
[0143] Among them, R L =|r L | 2 R R =|r R | 2 T=|t| 2 The eigenvalues of the scattering parameters can then be further expressed as:
[0144] ,
[0145] From this, we can derive the condition for the formation of singularities as T=1, at which point the system exhibits bidirectional total transmission (T=1) and unidirectional non-reflection (r). L =0 or r R =0) behavior. We can also obtain |λ1λ2|=1. When λ1=λ2=1, the characteristic frequency is a real number, and the system remains in equilibrium and stable. Conversely, when λ1=1 / λ2, the system equilibrium is disrupted, the characteristic frequency has an imaginary part, and the matched system cannot exist stably.
[0146] In summary, the stability of the gain metamaterial-plasma matching system can be determined from the eigenvalue distribution of the scattering matrix S. For a given matching system, as the incident wave frequency increases, the system's eigenvalue curve gradually closes, indicating that the matching system tends to stabilize. Therefore, the communication wave frequency corresponding to the system's stability should be selected. Specific Implementation Method 3
