AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing vanadium dioxide-based terahertz filters have problems such as low frequency band selectivity, slow phase change speed, inability to quickly respond to changes in the external environment, and difficulty adapting to complex application scenarios that require dynamic frequency band adjustment.

Method used

A transmissive temperature-controlled switchable band-stop terahertz modulator based on vanadium dioxide material is designed. It adopts a double-layer structure, with the bottom layer being a polyimide substrate and the upper layer being a metal patch composed of metal and vanadium dioxide. The structure is arranged in a checkerboard pattern, and the phase change characteristics of vanadium dioxide are used to regulate the transmission and blocking performance of electromagnetic waves at different temperatures.

Benefits of technology

It achieves flexible regulation of broadband stopband, provides highly selective and fast-response filtering effects, and is suitable for high-frequency applications, especially for dynamically isolating interference signals in radar systems.
