The sub-artificial magnetic conductor 10 includes a substrate 11, a radiation layer 12 located on one side of the substrate 11, and a ground layer 13 located on the side of the substrate 11 away from the radiation layer 12. The radiation layer 12 includes a first part 121, a second part 122, and a plurality of third parts 123. The second part 122 surrounds the first part 121, and there is a gap 124 between the first part 121 and the second part 122. The third part 123 is distributed in the gap 124 and is connected to the first part 121 and the second part 122, respectively.

[0047] For example, the artificial magnetic conductor 100 can include (m x n) arrayed sub-artificial magnetic conductors 10, where (m x n) > 2. As a feasible implementation, when the material of the substrate 11 in the embodiment of the present application is Rogers RO4350B, the dielectric constant C1 of the substrate 11 in the embodiment of the present application can satisfy 3.43 < C1 < 3.66, and the thickness M1 of the substrate 11 can satisfy 0.1 mm < M1 < 1.52 mm.

[0049] When the artificial magnetic conductor 10 only has such Figure 3 When the second portion 122 is shown, the sub-artificial magnetic conductor 10 will only form a low resonant frequency during operation, and the reflection coefficient at this low resonant frequency is -12.27 dB. When the sub-artificial magnetic conductor 10 only has... Figure 3 When the first portion 121 is shown, the sub-artificial magnetic conductor 10 will only form a higher resonant frequency during operation, and the reflection coefficient at this higher resonant frequency is -1.7dB. When the sub-artificial magnetic conductor 10 as... Figure 3 As shown, the sub-artificial magnetic conductor 10 includes a first portion 121, a second portion 122, and four third portions 123. A gap 124 exists between the first portion 121 and the second portion 122, and the four third portions 123 are distributed within the gap 124. When the sub-artificial magnetic conductor 10 is positioned within this gap, it can be equivalent to an LC resonant circuit. During operation, it can form two resonant frequencies, one high and one low. Its reflection coefficient at the lower resonant frequency is -5.1 dB, and its reflection coefficient at the higher resonant frequency is -3.06 dB. Therefore, this embodiment of the invention effectively reduces the back radiation of the antenna loaded with the artificial magnetic conductor 100 by employing the aforementioned artificial magnetic conductor 100.

[0050] It should be noted that the lower resonant frequency mentioned above can be 2.45 GHz, and the higher resonant frequency mentioned above can be 5.8 GHz.

[0051] As one possible implementation method, refer to Figure 3 The inner contour of the second part 122 shown is a polygon, and the geometric center of the inner contour of the second part 122 coincides with the geometric center of the first part 121.

[0052] For example, when the inner contour of the second portion 122 is as follows Figure 3 The regular octagon shown has its first part 121 as follows: Figure 3The geometric center of the inner edge contour of the second subpart 122 (i.e. the center of the inscribed circle of the regular octagon) coincides with the geometric center of the first subpart 121 (i.e. the center of the circular patch).

[0053] It should be noted that the inner edge contour of the second subpart 122 can be a polygon such as a quadrilateral, a hexagon, etc., and the present embodiment is not limited in this regard. Figure 3 The octagon shown can also be a quadrilateral, a hexagon, etc., and the present embodiment is not limited in this regard.

[0054] Figure 4 Another structure of a sub-artificial magnetic conductor provided by the present embodiment is shown in FIG. 12, and reference is made to FIG. 1 and FIG. 2. Figure 3 and Figure 4 The plurality of third subparts 123 include a first patch 1231, a second patch 1232, a third patch 1233, and a fourth patch 1234. The first patch 1231, the second patch 1232, the third patch 1233, and the fourth patch 1234 are uniformly distributed around the geometric center of the first subpart 121.

[0055] For example, as shown in FIG. 11, Figure 3 The first patch 1231 is located at the upper center point of the gap 124, the second patch 1232 is located at the right center point of the gap 124, the third patch 1233 is located at the lower center point of the gap 124, and the fourth patch 1234 is located at the left center point of the gap 124. The straight line passing through the center of the first patch 1231 and the center of the third patch 1233 is perpendicular to the straight line passing through the center of the second patch 1232 and the center of the fourth patch 1234, and both straight lines pass through the geometric center of the first subpart 121 (i.e. the center of the circular patch).

[0056] Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 12, the first patch 1231 is located at the upper left corner of the gap 124, the second patch 1232 is located at the upper right corner of the gap 124, the third patch 1233 is located at the lower right corner of the gap 124, and the fourth patch 1234 is located at the lower left corner of the gap 124, and are uniformly distributed at the upper left corner, the upper right corner, the lower left corner, and the lower right corner of the gap 124. Similarly, the straight line passing through the center of the first patch 1231 and the center of the third patch 1233 is perpendicular to the straight line passing through the center of the second patch 1232 and the center of the fourth patch 1234, and both straight lines pass through the geometric center of the first subpart 121 (i.e. the center of the circular patch).

[0057] It should be noted that the present embodiment is not limited in the specific positions of the first patch 1231, the second patch 1232, the third patch 1233, and the fourth patch 1234 uniformly distributed around the geometric center of the first subpart 121, which can be the distribution positions shown in FIG. 11, Figure 3 and Figure 4 and can also be other distribution positions that can be thought of, which can be set by the person skilled in the art according to the actual situation.

[0058] Reference Figure 1 And Figure 2 , the length of the substrate 11 in the sub artificial magnetic conductor 10 along the first direction X is a*lambda, the length along the second direction Y is b*lambda, and the length along the third direction Z is c*lambda, wherein lambda represents the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave satisfying the preset frequency in the free space, a satisfies 0.15<=a<=0.3, b satisfies 0.15<=b<=0.3, and c satisfies 0.003<=c<=0.005. The first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z intersect with each other.

[0059] Exemplarily, the first direction X, the second direction Y and the third direction Z can be perpendicular to each other as shown in Figure 1 And Figure 2 In the embodiment of the utility model, the length of the sub artificial magnetic conductor 10 along the first direction X can be 0.2lambda, the length of the sub artificial magnetic conductor 10 along the second direction Y can be 0.2lambda, and the length of the sub artificial magnetic conductor 10 along the third direction Z can be 0.004lambda, and lambda can be the wavelength of 2.45GHz electromagnetic wave in the free space (about 122mm), compared with the size of the existing sub artificial magnetic conductor 10, the size of the sub artificial magnetic conductor 10 in the embodiment of the utility model is smaller, which is beneficial to realize the miniaturization of wearable equipment.

[0060] As a feasible implementation manner, referring to Figure 1 And Figure 2 , the substrates 11 of the plurality of sub artificial magnetic conductors 10 are arranged in the same layer. The radiation layers 12 of the plurality of sub artificial magnetic conductors 10 are arranged in the same layer. The ground layers 13 of the plurality of sub artificial magnetic conductors 10 are arranged in the same layer.

[0061] Exemplarily, the substrates 11 of the plurality of sub artificial magnetic conductors 10 can be prepared in the same preparation process by arranging the substrates 11 of the plurality of sub artificial magnetic conductors 10 in the same layer. The radiation layers 12 of the plurality of sub artificial magnetic conductors 10 can be prepared in the same preparation process by arranging the radiation layers 12 of the plurality of sub artificial magnetic conductors 10 in the same layer, and the ground layers 13 of the plurality of sub artificial magnetic conductors 10 can be prepared in the same preparation process by arranging the ground layers 13 of the plurality of sub artificial magnetic conductors 10 in the same layer. Therefore, by arranging the substrates 11 of the plurality of sub artificial magnetic conductors 10 in the same layer, the radiation layers 12 of the plurality of sub artificial magnetic conductors 10 in the same layer and the ground layers 13 of the plurality of sub artificial magnetic conductors 10 in the same layer, it is beneficial to improve the preparation efficiency of the artificial magnetic conductor 100 and reduce the cost.

[0062] As a feasible implementation manner, referring to Figure 1 , the ground layer 13 in the embodiment of the utility model covers the substrate 11.

[0063] By setting the ground layer 13 to cover the substrate 11, the part of the electromagnetic wave can be avoided to directly pass through the substrate 11 to reach the human body, and the back radiation of the antenna loaded with the artificial magnetic conductor 100 can be reduced.

[0064] The working frequency of the sub-artificial magnetic conductor 10 in the embodiment of the utility model includes the first resonant frequency and the second resonant frequency, and the first resonant frequency is less than the second resonant frequency. The outer contour size of the first part 121 is negatively correlated with the first resonant frequency. The size of the second part 122 is positively correlated with the first resonant frequency, and the size of the second part 122 is negatively correlated with the second resonant frequency.

[0065] The artificial magnetic conductor 100 in the embodiment of the utility model can be loaded into the dual-frequency antenna with 2.45GHz and 5.8GHz dual bands. In order to reduce the back radiation of the dual-frequency antenna at the working frequency band, the first resonant frequency in the working frequency of the sub-artificial magnetic conductor 10 can be set as 2.45GHz, and the second resonant frequency can be set as 5.8GHz. Taking the outer contour of the first part 121 as a square and the second part 122 as a circular patch as an example, specifically, when the length of the outer contour of the first part 121 changes from 22.2mm to 24.2mm, the lower first resonant frequency can be lowered from 2.60GHz to 2.45GHz, and the higher second resonant frequency almost does not change. When the radius of the second part 122 (i.e. the circular patch) changes from 7.2mm to 8.2mm, the lower first resonant frequency can be raised from 2.34GHz to 2.45GHz, and the higher second resonant frequency can be lowered from 6.27GHz to 5.80GHz. Therefore, it can be understood that the person skilled in the art can determine the resonant frequency of the sub-artificial magnetic conductor 10 according to the working frequency of the antenna to be loaded with the artificial magnetic conductor 100, and adjust the outer contour size of the first part 121 and the size of the second part 122 to make the sub-artificial magnetic conductor 10 reach the determined resonant frequency, and then realize the in-phase reflection of the incident wave at the resonant frequency, so as to ensure that the artificial magnetic conductor 100 can reduce the back radiation of the antenna loaded with the artificial magnetic conductor 100 at the working frequency band thereof.

Figure 6 As can be known from S4 in the figure, the difference between the front lobe gain and the back lobe gain at 2.45 GHz is greater than 10 dBi, which indicates that the artificial magnetic conductor 100 in the embodiment of the utility model can play a good reflection role and reduce back radiation.

Figure 7 As can be known from S6 in the figure, the difference between the front lobe gain and the back lobe gain at 5.8 GHz is greater than 10 dBi, which indicates that the artificial magnetic conductor 100 in the embodiment of the utility model can play a good reflection role and reduce back radiation.
