Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of electromagnetic protection technology, and in particular to a high-power electromagnetic metasurface. Background Art

[0002] The statements in this section merely provide background information related to the present disclosure and may not constitute prior art.

[0003] With the rapid development of electronic technology, the integration density and operating frequency of electronic devices have continued to increase. Strong electromagnetic pulses (EMP) and high-power microwaves (HPM) have gradually become important weapons that threaten communications and electronic equipment on the modern battlefield. EMP systems can instantly disrupt or destroy the normal operation of electronic equipment through powerful electromagnetic field pulses, causing signal interruption, device burnout, or even system paralysis. HPM systems, on the other hand, attack target equipment with high-power microwave energy, burning out electronic components. The emergence and application of these systems have made electromagnetic protection technology even more important.

[0004] Electromagnetic protection primarily targets the coupling pathways between electromagnetic waves and electronic devices, including "backdoor coupling" and "frontdoor coupling." Backdoor coupling occurs when electromagnetic energy enters a system through holes in the device casing, cable connectors, and other pathways. Currently, this is primarily addressed through relatively mature technologies such as shielding, grounding, and filtering. Frontdoor coupling occurs when electromagnetic waves directly enter a system through antennas and transmission lines, disrupting normal equipment operation. This coupling method, due to its greater directness and destructiveness, represents a key challenge in current electromagnetic protection technology.

[0005] Traditional front-door protection technologies primarily include limiters, frequency-selective surfaces (FSS), and plasmas. However, each of these approaches has its own drawbacks. For example, while limiters can effectively block high-power electromagnetic waves, they suffer from slow response, high insertion loss, and long recovery times. While FSSs offer frequency-selective transmission, their shielding performance is insufficient against high-power microwaves. Plasma, on the other hand, is limited by high processing costs and unstable performance. Therefore, how to effectively shield against strong electromagnetic interference while ensuring stable transmission of normal signals has become a core challenge facing front-door protection technology.

[0006] Energy selective surfaces (ESSs) achieve adaptive response to electromagnetic wave power density by loading a conventional frequency selective surface with nonlinear devices (such as PIN diodes). Under low-power conditions, ESSs exhibit high transmittance, allowing normal signals to pass through. However, under high-power conditions, their impedance changes, resulting in high shielding effectiveness, shielding against strong electromagnetic waves. This characteristic allows ESSs to operate without external power or bias circuitry, offering advantages such as simple structure and reliable performance.

[0007] For example, patent publication number CN117477235A discloses a miniaturized energy selective surface, but its shielding bandwidth at high-power incident light and its wave transmission bandwidth at low-power incident light are narrow. Therefore, existing ESS technology still faces many technical challenges: (1) Insufficient shielding bandwidth: Most ESSs have good shielding performance at specific frequencies, but their shielding effectiveness decreases rapidly when the operating frequency band deviates from the center frequency; (2) Insufficient structural miniaturization: How to achieve efficient protection function of ESS in a short period of time is an urgent problem to be solved.

Moreover, the terms "comprises," "comprising," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus comprising a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or elements inherent to such process, method, article, or apparatus. In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising a ..." does not exclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus comprising the element.

[0024] The features and performance of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments.

[0025] Example 1 With the rapid development of electronic technology, the integration density and operating frequency of electronic devices have continued to increase. Strong electromagnetic pulses (EMP) and high-power microwaves (HPM) have gradually become important weapons that threaten communications and electronic equipment on the modern battlefield. EMP systems can instantly disrupt or destroy the normal operation of electronic equipment through powerful electromagnetic field pulses, causing signal interruption, device burnout, or even system paralysis. HPM systems, on the other hand, attack target equipment with high-power microwave energy, burning out electronic components. The emergence and application of these systems have made electromagnetic protection technology even more important.

[0026] Electromagnetic protection primarily targets the coupling pathways between electromagnetic waves and electronic devices, including "backdoor coupling" and "frontdoor coupling." Backdoor coupling occurs when electromagnetic energy enters a system through holes in the device casing, cable connectors, and other pathways. Currently, this is primarily addressed through relatively mature technologies such as shielding, grounding, and filtering. Frontdoor coupling occurs when electromagnetic waves directly enter a system through antennas and transmission lines, disrupting normal equipment operation. This coupling method, due to its greater directness and destructiveness, represents a key challenge in current electromagnetic protection technology.

[0027] Traditional front-door protection technologies primarily include limiters, frequency-selective surfaces (FSS), and plasmas. However, each of these approaches has its own drawbacks. For example, while limiters can effectively block high-power electromagnetic waves, they suffer from slow response, high insertion loss, and long recovery times. While FSSs offer frequency-selective transmission, their shielding performance is insufficient against high-power microwaves. Plasma, on the other hand, is limited by high processing costs and unstable performance. Therefore, how to effectively shield against strong electromagnetic interference while ensuring stable transmission of normal signals has become a core challenge facing front-door protection technology.

[0028] Energy selective surfaces (ESSs) achieve adaptive response to electromagnetic wave power density by loading a conventional frequency selective surface with nonlinear devices (such as PIN diodes). Under low-power conditions, ESSs exhibit high transmittance, allowing normal signals to pass through. However, under high-power conditions, their impedance changes, resulting in high shielding effectiveness, shielding against strong electromagnetic waves. This characteristic allows ESSs to operate without external power or bias circuitry, offering advantages such as simple structure and reliable performance.

[0029] For example, patent publication number CN117477235A discloses a miniaturized energy selective surface, but its shielding bandwidth at high-power incident light and its wave transmission bandwidth at low-power incident light are narrow. Therefore, existing ESS technology still faces many technical challenges: (1) Insufficient shielding bandwidth: Most ESSs have good shielding performance at specific frequencies, but their shielding effectiveness decreases rapidly when the operating frequency band deviates from the center frequency; (2) Insufficient structural miniaturization: How to achieve efficient protection function of ESS in a short period of time is an urgent problem to be solved.

[0032] In this embodiment, specifically, both ends of the serpentine metal line are located at the edges of the dielectric substrate layer.

[0034] Through the above design, a high-power electromagnetic metasurface disclosed in this embodiment exhibits shielding characteristics and transmission characteristics under different power densities.

[0035] Among them, the two back-to-back E-shaped metal strips on the upper dielectric substrate layer are oriented in opposite directions, and the branches are connected by a first diode. The first diode exhibits different equivalent characteristics under different power densities: when low power density is incident, the first diode is equivalent to a small capacitor, allowing electromagnetic waves to transmit; when high power density is incident, the first diode is equivalent to a small inductor in series with a small resistor, thereby blocking high-power signals.
