The application relates to a 2-bit
electromagnetic metasurface unit design method based on a 1-bit design idea, which comprises the following steps: step 1, a 1-bit metasurface unit 10 is designed by using an electromagnetic
resonance method, the on-off of an
electric control device is controlled, and the 1-bit metasurface unit 10 has a 270-degree reflection
phase difference at a required frequency point; step 2, a phase-shifting layer 20 is added below the 1-bit unit 10 obtained in step 1, and a transmission
metal via is introduced into the unit 10, so that electromagnetic energy on the unit 10 is transmitted to the phase-shifting layer 20; and step 3, a phase-shifting
microstrip line on the phase-shifting layer 20 in step 2 is designed by using a guided wave method, the on-off of an
electric control device is controlled, electromagnetic
waves transmitted back to the 1-bit unit 10 through the phase-shifting layer 20 are phase-shifted by 90 degrees and 180 degrees, and finally a 2-bit
electromagnetic metasurface unit with 0-degree, 90-degree, 180-degree and 270-degree
phase control capabilities is formed. The method provided by the application combines the electromagnetic
resonance method and the guided wave method, improves the defects of the electromagnetic
resonance method, such as complex
design process and the guided wave method, such as too many
electric control devices, the design idea is clear, the method is simple, and a 2-bit unit with good performance can be quickly and efficiently designed.
