Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electromagnetic metasurfaces, and particularly to a method, device, equipment and medium for designing the topology structure of intelligent metasurfaces. Background Art

[0002] Intelligent metasurface is an advanced artificial electromagnetic structure that can precisely manipulate the amplitude, phase, polarization and frequency of incident electromagnetic waves to achieve dynamic regulation of electromagnetic waves. The application fields of intelligent metasurfaces are extensive, including beam refraction, electromagnetic stealth, filtering, wireless communication and holographic imaging, etc. Miniaturization of intelligent metasurfaces is an important development direction in the current wireless communication field. The miniaturized intelligent metasurface can integrate multi-band reflectors on the same substrate. This integrated design not only saves valuable space resources, but also reduces the complexity and cost of the system. In addition, the miniaturized intelligent metasurface can improve the performance of wireless communication systems, especially in high-frequency communications. They solve the problem of signal blind area coverage by constructing virtual line-of-sight paths, provide blind area communication and sensing services, and at the same time enhance the signal by providing additional paths to expand the system coverage radius.

[0003] Currently, the methods for designing miniaturized intelligent metasurfaces mainly include two categories. The first category is to explore the application of equivalent circuit models in the design of intelligent metasurfaces. This method simplifies the design process by converting complex electromagnetic problems into circuit problems, but it is difficult to obtain an accurate physical model for complex intelligent metasurfaces. The second category is the intelligent metasurface design method based on deep learning. This method uses deep learning technology to establish the correspondence between the structural parameters of the metasurface and its electromagnetic response to achieve the rapid design of two common types of metasurfaces, namely continuous parameter structures and digital coding structures. However, since the deep learning method requires using electromagnetic simulation samples for modeling, it is difficult to fundamentally reduce the electromagnetic simulation cost used in the design of intelligent metasurfaces.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a miniaturized intelligent metasurface design method to overcome the technical problems existing in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0094]

[0095] where is the speed of light in vacuum; is the maximum optimizable operating frequency.

[0096] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , the period length of the initial model of the intelligent metasurface unit is 27.2 mm, the period width is 25.8 mm, the thickness of the dielectric layer is 3.3 mm, and the dielectric constant is 2.65; the operating frequency of this intelligent metasurface is 2.6 GHz; the metal patch layer is composed of 56 rectangular metal patches of the same size arranged at a certain interval and arranged symmetrically along the Y axis.

[0097] The discrete patch is a square patch, and the length of the discrete patch is K / 20 to K / 30. In this embodiment, the length of the discrete patch is 2 mm, and the initial patch interval is 0.3 mm.

[0098] Referring to Figure 2 , the method for establishing the reflection coefficient model of the intelligent metasurface unit using the multi-port network includes the following steps:

[0099] Determine the interval between the patches according to the patch length and the period length;

[0100] Add an external electromagnetic wave port to the initial structure of the intelligent metasurface unit, add internal discrete ports between the discrete patches, and use full-wave electromagnetic simulation to extract the impedance parameters of the external electromagnetic wave port and the internal discrete ports to obtain the multi-port impedance matrix:

[0106] According to the relationship between the period length of the intelligent metasurface unit and the size of the discrete patch, it is determined that in this intelligent metasurface unit, the number of rows of the discrete patch is 8 and the number of columns is 9.

[0107] Traverse the number of rows and columns of the discrete patches working from more to less, starting from the maximum number of rows and columns and decreasing the number of rows or columns in turn to construct the topological structures of different intelligent metasurface units. During the traversal process, based on the reflection coefficient function, use the phase and amplitude of different working states to construct an objective function, and use an optimization algorithm to screen the topological structures to minimize the optimization objective function. The objective function is:

[0108]

[0109] The optimization process is defined as:

[0110]

[0111] where, and are the internal discrete port vector and the active device parameter vector respectively; and are the optimal internal discrete port vector and the optimal active device parameter vector respectively; and are the weight coefficients of the phase constraint and the amplitude constraint in the objective function respectively; is the phase of the th working state; is the ideal phase of the th working state; is a comparison function used to find the minimum value between and ; is thei The amplitude of a working state; is the i ideal amplitude of the working state, and the value is 3; in this embodiment, 8 phase states of 0°, 45°, 90°, 135°, 180°, 225°, 270°, and 315° are selected as the ideal phase states.

[0114] Judge whether the optimization objective function of each topological structure meets the design requirements. If it meets, reduce the size of the design area of the topological structure. Specifically, continue to reduce the number of rows and columns of the discrete patches in operation; if it does not meet, expand the size of the design area of the topological structure and increase the number of rows and columns of the discrete patches in operation; after correcting the size of the design area of the topological structure according to the judgment, return to calculate the optimization objective function of the topological structure, record the size of the design area of each topological structure that meets the design requirements, and select the topological structure with the smallest design area, referring to Figure 4 ;

[0115] Construct an optimization objective function combined with the number of discrete patches in the topological structure by using the phases, amplitudes of different working states, and the number of discrete patches in the topological structure, and optimize the topological structure with the smallest design area. The optimization objective function combined with the number of discrete patches in the topological structure is:

[0117] The optimization process is defined as:

[0118]

[0119] Among them, is the weight coefficient of the miniaturization function in the proportion of the objective function; is the sum of the elements with "1" in

[0120] By adding the number of discrete patches to the performance optimization of the intelligent metasurface unit, calculate the number of open states in the internal discrete port vector and accumulate it. By accumulating the values of the port vector, the number of "1" in the vector increases, that is, the number of port states of "open" increases, so as to obtain more discrete patches that are not connected to the surrounding, delete them, and increase the degree of miniaturization.

[0121] The optimization objective of the optimization objective function for the number of discrete patches in the combined topological structure is as follows:

[0123] Refer to Figure 5 , analyze the current distribution of the topological structure of the minimum design area after optimization, remove the unconnected discrete patches, adjust the positional relationship between the patches, and obtain the intelligent metasurface unit.

[0124] Refer to Figure 6 , which is the electromagnetic response diagram of 8 phase states obtained from the electromagnetic simulation of the intelligent metasurface with the unoptimized topological structure of the minimum design area. Refer to Figure 7 , which is the electromagnetic response diagram of 8 phase states obtained from the electromagnetic simulation of the intelligent metasurface with the optimized topological structure of the minimum design area. It can be seen from Figure 6 that due to the coupling effect between the discrete patches, there is a frequency offset in the simulation results compared with the case where the discrete patches are not deleted. To reduce the influence of the frequency offset, adjust the horizontal and vertical distances between the discrete patches, reduce the electromagnetic coupling between the patches, and ensure the performance of the intelligent metasurface unit, as Figure 7 shown.
