Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bulk acoustic wave magnetoelectric antenna simulation, and in particular to a method for analyzing the electrostatic-mechanical-magnetostatic coupling characteristics of a three-dimensional low-frequency magnetoelectric antenna. Background Art

[0002] Bulk acoustic wave magnetoelectric antennas typically employ a magnetoelectric hybrid structure, utilizing the inverse piezoelectric effect to convert electrical signals into acoustic signals, i.e., mechanical resonance. These signals are then converted into radiated waves through the magnetostrictive and magnetoelectric effects, involving mechanisms such as acoustic resonance and ferromagnetic resonance. By rationally utilizing existing mechanisms and designing bulk acoustic wave magnetoelectric antennas with different structures, different operating effects can be achieved, such as dual-band operation. Nan's team at Northeastern University in the United States has developed an acoustically excited magnetoelectric antenna, depositing ferromagnetic and piezoelectric materials in layers on a substrate with a hollowed-out bottom, forming a magnetoelectric heterostructure. This structure utilizes the magnetoelectric effect at acoustic resonance to transmit and receive electromagnetic waves. In 2018, Hwaider's team, building on the bulk acoustic wave magnetoelectric antenna structure proposed by Nan's team, replaced the upper magnetostrictive material with conductive aluminum. Experimental results showed that the replaced model had no obvious resonance peaks, and the transmission and reception parameters at the resonance point were 20dB lower than those of the antenna using a magnetoelectric laminated structure radiating unit. This shows that in the radiation process of the bulk acoustic wave magnetoelectric antenna, the "magnetic current" radiation source generated by the magnetostrictive material is the main radiation source compared to the "electric current" radiation source generated by the piezoelectric material, which also proves that the magnetostrictive layer plays an important role.

[0003] Currently, research on bulk acoustic wave magnetoelectric antennas primarily relies on COMSOL multiphysics simulation software, but this software cannot accurately obtain radiation results, such as radiation efficiency, all at once. Furthermore, the model's long simulation times and low accuracy significantly hinder in-depth research on this type of antenna.

[0004] To solve this problem, in 2015, Yao's team used the constitutive equations of magnetoelectric materials to couple Maxwell's equations with Newton's equations, and used algorithms to intuitively analyze the influence of various parameters on device results, such as stress magnitude. In 2016, Yao's team took into account surface effects and eddy current losses and innovated the algorithm tools, but still needed to construct the radiation model from a field perspective. In 2017, Yao's team proposed an improved implicit finite-difference time-domain algorithm (ADIFDTD). This algorithm uses special boundary conditions to fully consider the effect of demagnetization and has special advantages in dealing with fine details. In 2021, Yao's team continued to consider the dynamic magnetic field problem and modified the ADIFDTD algorithm to more realistically analyze the dynamic working conditions of the bulk acoustic wave magnetoelectric antenna. By applying the finite-difference time-domain algorithm, the team solved the problem of not being able to directly obtain the far-field radiation performance of the bulk acoustic wave magnetoelectric antenna, and gradually considered more actual environmental factors, with higher accuracy. However, such a solution requires high requirements for algorithm writing and solution condition setting, and is labor-intensive, and cannot quickly obtain parameter results for the BAW magnetoelectric antenna. Some university research teams, based on the working principle of the BAW magnetoelectric antenna, use the equivalent substitution method to analyze the output unit area stress value on the magnetostrictive layer to equivalently analyze the relationship between radiation performance and various parameters. Their simulation results qualitatively provide the law of how the radiation performance of the BAW magnetoelectric antenna is affected by parameters, but lack quantitative far-field radiation results and conclusions, which is of little guiding significance for actual processing and testing.

[0005] In summary, while researchers have made some progress in the study of BAW magnetoelectric antennas, their mechanism analysis and model design have primarily relied on theory, validated through physical fabrication, and lacking effective simulation results. While COMSOL multiphysics simulation software can yield constrained BAW magnetoelectric antenna multiphysics models and qualitative conclusions about radiation performance, the results are imprecise and the solution time is lengthy. Therefore, further improvements are urgently needed in the electrostatic-mechanical-magnetostatic coupling analysis of low-frequency magnetoelectric antennas. Summary of the Invention

[0054] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 The present invention proposes a method for analyzing the electrostatic-mechanical-magnetostatic coupling characteristics of a three-dimensional low-frequency magnetoelectric antenna, comprising:

[0056] Establish a three-dimensional geometric model of low-frequency magnetoelectric antenna;

[0057] Set the material parameters and boundary conditions of the three-dimensional low-frequency magnetoelectric antenna;

[0058] Based on the geometric model, material parameters and boundary conditions of the three-dimensional low-frequency magnetoelectric antenna, a finite element model of the three-dimensional low-frequency magnetoelectric antenna is established;

[0059] The 3D low-frequency magnetoelectric antenna finite element model is partitioned using hexahedral meshes to obtain a cellular structure.

[0060] Based on the cellular structure, the electrostatic-mechanical-magnetostatic coupling equations are constructed; the electrostatic-mechanical-magnetostatic coupling equations include the piezoelectric constitutive equation, the electrostatic field equation, the mechanical motion equation, the piezomagnetic constitutive equation, and the static magnetic field equation.

[0061] The FDTD algorithm is used to solve the electrostatic-mechanical-magnetostatic coupling equations to obtain the physical parameters of each position in the finite element model of the three-dimensional low-frequency magnetoelectric antenna;

[0062] According to the physical parameters of each position in the finite element model of the three-dimensional low-frequency magnetoelectric antenna, the magnetic flux density, radiation efficiency, directivity coefficient and gain of the three-dimensional low-frequency magnetoelectric antenna are obtained.

[0063] Finite element method (FEM) and finite difference method are commonly used in existing technologies to solve complex mathematical models. The finite element method divides the solution area into interconnected and non-overlapping units, uses basis functions to approximate the solution in each unit, and constructs the final solution through the approximate solutions of these units in the entire area. In contrast, the finite difference method divides the computational domain into a grid, with a finite number of nodes representing the continuous computational domain. The accuracy of the finite difference method depends only on the mesh completeness condition, while the finite element method requires additional supplementary conditions to ensure convergence. In addition, the upper bound of the discretization error of the finite difference method is usually lower than the upper bound of the discretization error achieved by the approximation theorem used in the accuracy analysis of the finite element method. In the finite difference time domain (FDTD) algorithm, the field components are updated by differencing the time and space variables. This method directly uses the difference equation for calculation, avoiding the need to solve the matrix inverse problem, thereby simplifying the calculation process.

[0064] In the specific implementation of the present invention, a three-dimensional low-frequency magnetoelectric antenna finite element model is constructed, and the three-dimensional low-frequency magnetoelectric antenna finite element model is hexahedron-decomposed, and an electrostatic-force-magnetostatic coupling equation group is constructed based on the cellular structure obtained by the decomposition; wherein, the electrostatic-force-magnetostatic coupling equation group includes a piezoelectric constitutive equation, an electrostatic field equation, a mechanical motion equation, a piezomagnetic constitutive equation and a static magnetic field equation; the electrostatic-force-magnetostatic coupling equation group is solved using the FDTD algorithm to obtain the physical parameters of each position in the three-dimensional low-frequency magnetoelectric antenna finite element model; thereby facilitating the calculation of the magnetic flux density, radiation efficiency, directivity coefficient and gain of the three-dimensional low-frequency magnetoelectric antenna based on the physical parameters of each position in the three-dimensional low-frequency magnetoelectric antenna finite element model.

[0065] The design of magnetoelectric antennas typically involves more than just the coupling of multiple physical fields, such as mechanical and thermal fields, but also electromagnetic fields. This invention adds a new physical field, the magnetic field, to the existing multi-physics electro-mechanical coupling equations to precisely describe the physical properties and operating principles of magnetoelectric antennas. However, the addition of the magnetic field complicates the multi-physics coupling and imposes stricter time step restrictions. To address this issue, the present invention further constructs an electrostatic-mechanical-magnetostatic coupling equation set to accurately describe the physical properties and operating principles of magnetoelectric antennas. This facilitates optimization of magnetoelectric antenna design while also enabling adjustments to the magnetoelectric antenna's geometry and material selection based on specific design requirements (such as frequency response, bandwidth, and gain), thereby improving magnetoelectric antenna performance. This transforms complex electromagnetic field problems into a form that can be efficiently solved using numerical methods. This makes predicting magnetoelectric antenna performance in practical engineering more feasible and efficient, effectively improving both the computational speed and accuracy of electrostatic-mechanical-magnetostatic coupling analysis, and further facilitating the handling of complex problems. The present invention simultaneously considers these physical effects, providing a more comprehensive analysis of the magnetoelectric antenna's overall performance.
