The application discloses a
radio frequency computing method and
system based on a time coding metasurface. The metasurface is composed of a
metal patch layer, an F4B
dielectric layer and a
metal backplate layer. By applying a specific periodic
control signal, the metasurface can modulate the electromagnetic information of the
incident wave. The
baseband signal of the incident electromagnetic wave represents a
time function that needs to be operated, and the
control signal of the metasurface corresponds to the coding sequence of the required operation. After the electromagnetic wave interacts with the metasurface, the reflected wave will carry the information of the operation result, and the
Fourier transform and
convolution operation in the
radio frequency domain can be realized. The application eliminates the conversion of the
radio frequency signal, and directly completes the calculation in the radio
frequency domain, which can effectively reduce the calculation
delay and
energy consumption. At the same time, since the traditional radio frequency link is omitted, the radio frequency
calculator constructed by the metasurface has low
hardware complexity and cost, a simple structure and is suitable for application fields of communication,
radar, sensing and the like under the premise of ensuring the calculation accuracy.
