Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of microwave engineering design, and more particularly, to a method, device, equipment, medium, and program product for quickly calculating the surface wave impedance. Background Art

[0002] Calculating the wave impedance of surface waves in a medium-coated material uniformly above an infinite metal surface is a fundamental problem in fields such as high-frequency communication, new electromagnetic materials, and high-power microwave transmission.

[0003] For the surface wave waveguide model as shown in Figure 1 above an infinite conductor surface with a thickness of d and a dielectric constant of ε r , the dispersion equation of the surface wave propagation constant is:

[0004]

[0005] k c tan(k c d) = ε r h

[0006] where k0 is the propagation constant in air, h is the attenuation constant of the surface wave in air, k c is the transverse (x-direction) cut-off wave number of the surface wave, and β is the propagation constant of the surface wave along the z-direction. The wave impedance of the fundamental mode TM mode of the surface wave in this model is:

[0007]

[0008] where ω is the angular frequency of the electromagnetic wave. By solving β, the wave impedance of the fundamental mode of the surface wave can be obtained. Currently, there are various methods for studying the propagation constant in the dielectric coating layer on the conductor surface. The graphical method (see reference: Pozar, D.M., Microwave Engineering, Third Edition, translated by Zhang Zhaoyi et al. Beijing: Electronic Industry Press, 2006), the approximate method (see reference: A. Kobyakov, "Analytical form of the scan blindness condition in an infinite phased array of printed dipoles with a superstrate", Proc. European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP‘22), Mar. 27 - Apr. 1, 2022), etc.

[0009] Although the graphical method is accurate and can obtain the theoretical solution, it cannot quickly analyze and obtain the explicit solution expression of the TM surface wave impedance in the medium material uniformly coated above the infinite metal surface. The existing approximate methods are only effective for media with low dielectric constants. When the dielectric constant is high, the solution error will be rapidly amplified, resulting in impedance mismatch, reducing the transmission efficiency, affecting the signal integrity, and even causing equipment damage.
