Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of novel electromagnetic metamaterials and application, and particularly relates to a quasi-surface plasmon ultra-wideband low-scattering slot antenna.
Background
Surface Plasmon Polaritons (SPP) are a Surface electromagnetic wave mode that usually exists on the Surface of two materials with opposite dielectric constants, and because of the Surface wave characteristics, electromagnetic waves (e.g., light waves) in certain frequency bands can be confined in a sub-wavelength spatial range. General surface plasmons exist mainly in nanostructures in the optical wavelength band. The ideal conductor equivalent dielectric constant of the subwavelength pore structure is that when electromagnetic waves enter the pores, the attenuation waveguide mode of the pores is excited, only the fundamental mode playing the dominant role of the super-transparency is considered, and the calculation result shows that: an ideal conductor with a subwavelength aperture has an approximately equivalent dielectric constant to the plasmonic material. From this result, when an electromagnetic wave is incident on an ideal conductor with a sub-wavelength aperture, a surface wave similar to SPP, called a quasi surface plasmon polariton (SSPP), is excited. SSPP research not only expands the research content of surface plasmons, but also expands the application field of the surface plasmons. In order to excite quasi-surface plasmons in the microwave band, researchers propose two types of methods: one is to excite SSPP by doping semiconductors, high temperature superconducting materials, etc.; the other is to reduce the surface plasma frequency of the metal by the metal surface microstructure. The former mainly uses the methods of photo-thermal excitation, ion injection and the like to control the carrier concentration, so that the plasma frequency is reduced, and the SSPP of a low frequency band is realized. The latter is due to the fact that the surface wave mode of SSPP can be supported by a periodically structured metal surface. The rapid development of Metamaterial injected new viability into the SSPP study in the microwave band. The SSPP wave propagation characteristics of the three-dimensional periodic groove-shaped structure are analyzed, and research results show that the designed groove structure can support the SSPP wave propagation of 0.8 THz. The structure of the shape of the Chinese character 'wang' is etched on the upper metal surface of the double-sided copper-clad plate, and the SSPP is excited by utilizing the structure. SSPP in a microwave frequency band is coupled out by combining a gradual change super surface (Metasurface) structure, and the SSPP surface wave propagation state on the structure is analyzed. The broadband SSPP characteristics of the periodic structure are analyzed, and researches show that the periodic CSRR ring can support the propagation of SSPP surface waves. The surface plasmon phenomenon of the circular quasi-super surface is analyzed, the fact that the super surface can excite SSPP under different polarizations is verified, and research results show that the quasi-super surface can effectively regulate and control the propagation direction of electromagnetic waves and improve the scattering characteristic of the quasi-super surface. These studies have advanced the development of SSPP, but since SSPP is very novel in the microwave band, there are few reports on its application in antennas.
The existing quasi-surface plasmon structure of the microwave frequency band is very sensitive to the polarization of incident waves due to the asymmetry problem of the designed structure; most of the structures can only excite TM-polarized SSPP according to the magnetic resonance characteristics of the structures, and the application of the structures in the antenna often brings about great improvement of cross polarization components and enhancement of co-polarization scattering, so that the radiation and scattering characteristics of the antenna are difficult to be considered.

Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, the present invention is further described in detail with reference to the following embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
According to the invention, the SSPP of a microwave frequency band is excited by designing an ultrathin round gradient bilateral sawtooth symmetrical structure, the surface wave propagation and scattering characteristics under the SSPP mode condition are deeply analyzed, and the surface wave propagation and scattering characteristics are further used for the antenna radiation surface, so that the antenna scattering wave beam direction is controlled, the wave beam width of the antenna is widened, the scattering and radiation performance of the antenna is improved, and the SSPP ultra-wideband low-scattering slot antenna is realized.
The following detailed description of the principles of the invention is provided in connection with the accompanying drawings.
(1) SSPP quasi-super surface
A circular quasi-super surface capable of exciting SSPP is designed by utilizing a gradual change bilateral sawtooth metal structure, as shown in figure 1. Fig. 1(a) shows a metal structure with gradually changed double-sided sawteeth, and fig. 1(b) shows that the metal structure is rotated around the center to form a circular quasi-super surface on the basis of the metal double-sided sawteeth structure. The designed quasi-super surface can excite SSPP on a metal structure with a low frequency band parallel to the direction of an electric field to form an SSPP mode surface wave and enhance the energy propagation of the surface wave; the thickness of the quasi-super-surface structure is 1.0mm, and the relevant sizes of the metal bilateral sawtooth structure are respectively as follows: r is1=68mm,w1=32mm,w2=3.7mm,w32mm, 5mm, 25deg, 0.036mm metal thickness, 2.65 dielectric constant, no metal on the back of the dielectric plateAnd (3) a layer.
In a microwave frequency band, quasi-surface plasmons can be excited by utilizing the metal double-sided sawtooth structure, and surface wave conversion from radiation electromagnetic waves to an SSPP mode is realized. Due to the strong central symmetry characteristic of the circular structure, the SSPP can be excited for incident waves with TE and TM polarization, and the propagation of SSPP surface waves is guided. For the quasi-super-surface structure of fig. 1, the electric field of the incident electromagnetic wave is:
wherein the electric field direction is along the x-axis direction. The components of the electric field incident on the metal are:
the electric field components on the medium are:
kz1and1representing wave number and dielectric constant, k, of the double-sided sawtooth structure metal layerz2And2the wave number and dielectric constant of the dielectric layer are shown. According to the formulas (2) and (3), when the electromagnetic wave passes between the metal layer and the dielectric layer, the attenuation length of the electromagnetic wave is as follows:
according to the continuity boundary condition, the following dispersion relation is further obtained:
wherein k isxRepresenting the propagation coefficient of the electromagnetic wave along the x-axis direction. Refractive index (n) of SSPP for metal and dielectric structuresSSPP) Comprises the following steps:
combining equations (5) and (6), kxIt can be further simplified as:
wherein k is0W/c 2 pi f/c is the wave number in free space, and c is the speed of light.Can be written as:
as can be seen from the equation (9),showing the exponential decay relationship of the metal saw tooth structure and the medium. For the gradual change bilateral sawtooth structure, the reflection coefficient can be calculated according to the boundary condition by considering TM polarized incident waves. Surface wave conditions by SSPP mode have kx>k0. If the condition lambda is satisfied>>(P-w3) And λ>>P, (λ is the operating wavelength), the surface wave propagation coefficient k of the SSPP mode excited by the double-sided sawtooth metal structurexComprises the following steps:
from equation (10), when 0<k0d<At pi/2, kxIs a real number, and kx>k0Therefore, the propagation speed of the excited SSPP surface wave is lower than the speed of light. It can also be found from the formula (10) that kxIncreases with increasing P and d. Meanwhile, the cut-off frequency of the surface wave of the SSPP mode is mainly determined by the depth d of the sawtooth, namely, the cut-off frequency of the designed quasi-super surface can be improved by increasing the depth of the metal sawtooth. Therefore, the propagation speed of the surface wave in the SSPP mode is lower than the speed of light, and meanwhile, the surface wave can be confined in the critical plane of metal and medium and propagates forwards along the sawtooth structure.
The dispersion curve of the gradual change sawtooth structure is simulated by utilizing the eigenmode of CST, the simulation model is shown as figure 2, and the dispersion curve obtained by simulation is shown as figure 3. As can be seen from the figure, different sawtooth depths d correspond to different cut-off frequencies, and when the sawtooth depths d are 4.47mm, 8.62mm and 12.61mm, the corresponding cut-off frequencies are 8.07GHz, 4.74GHz and 2.83GHz respectively; it can be seen that: as the depth d of the serrations increases, the cut-off frequency shifts to a lower frequency. When the depth d of the sawtooth is 4.47mm, the cut-off frequencies of the basic mode, the first-order mode and the second-order mode are 2.83GHz, 3.05GHz and 3.50GHz respectively; when the depth d of the sawtooth is 8.62mm, the cut-off frequencies of the first three modes are 4.74GHz, 5.49GHz and 6.31GHz respectively; when the depth d of the serrations is 12.61mm, the cut-off frequencies of the first three modes are 8.07GHz, 9.45GHz, and 10.86GHz, respectively. It can be seen that, under the same sawtooth depth condition, the cut-off frequency rises with the increase of the mode; as the modes increase, the cut-off frequency becomes closer to the propagation effect of the speed of light. Finally, the metal sawtooth structure with the d being 12.61mm is selected according to design requirements.
To verify the surface wave characteristics of the microwave SSPP mode, the super surface xoy plane electric field distributions at 1GHz and 2GHz were analyzed, as shown in fig. 4. As is clear from the electric field distribution simulation results in the figure, with respect to the incident electromagnetic wave of TM polarization, a significant surface wave of SSPP mode is formed at a position parallel to the y-axis direction, whereas a surface wave in the x-axis direction is not significant, and other positions have a significant surface wave propagation effect due to the coupling effect between the saw teeth. For incident electromagnetic waves with TE polarization, very obvious SSPP mode surface waves are formed at the position parallel to the direction of the x axis, while the surface waves in the direction of the y axis are not obvious, and the gradual change sawtooth structure at the rest positions also forms obvious surface wave propagation due to the coupling effect between sawteeth. The surface wave of the SSPP mode shows that the designed metal gradient sawtooth structure can excite quasi-surface plasmon of a microwave frequency band, and the designed super surface has polarization independence; the simulation results also demonstrate that a polarization-independent circular super-surface based graded-sawtooth structure is capable of converting a normally incident electromagnetic wave into a surface wave in SSPP mode.
(2) Quasi-surface plasmon ultra-wideband low-scattering slot antenna
The SSPP slot antenna structure is designed as shown in fig. 5. The radiation caliber of the antenna is a circular structure with the same area, and the radius of the circle is r1The thickness of a dielectric plate of the SSPP slot antenna is 1mm, the thickness of a caliber metal plate of the traditional waveguide slot antenna is 1mm, the area of a back feeding position of the SSPP slot antenna is 20mm × 40mm, the area of the back feeding position of the SSPP slot antenna is metal, the center position of the slot antenna is 26mm × 2mm, the rest positions are not plated with metal, the dielectric constant of the dielectric plate is 2.65, the loss tangent is less than 0.001, red arrows mark feeding excitation of the slot antenna, and HFSS is used for simulation analysis of radiation and scattering performance of the antenna.
The simulation result of S parameter of the antenna is shown in FIG. 6, and the conventional antenna satisfies S11<The-10 dB bandwidth is 5.34-5.86 GHz, and the SSPP slot antenna meets the requirement of S11<The bandwidth of-10 dB is 5.28-5.72 GHz, and the working bandwidth of the antenna is shifted to low frequency. Fig. 7 and 8 show two-dimensional and three-dimensional patterns of the metal antenna at 5.4GHz and 5.65 GHz. As can be seen from the two-dimensional directional diagram curves of 5.4GHz and 5.65GHz in fig. 7, the cross polarization components of the SSPP slot antenna at 5.4GHz and 5.65GHz are slightly increased compared with the cross polarization component of the conventional waveguide slot antenna, and the backward direction isThe radiation is enhanced and the front-to-back ratio of the antenna is reduced. The conventional antenna and the SSPP slot antenna have beam widths of 146 ° and 200 ° at xoz plane of 5.4GHz, 70 ° and 72 ° at yoz plane, 151 ° and 172 ° at xoz plane of 5.65GHz, and 58 ° and 105 ° at yoz plane, respectively. As can be seen from the antenna three-dimensional directional pattern 8, the beam of the SSPP antenna is significantly widened compared with the waveguide slot antenna beam on the metal surface. Fig. 9 shows the surface current distribution of the SSPP antenna and the conventional metal surface waveguide slot antenna, and the current distribution density can find that: compared with the current density of the metal caliber, the current density along the horizontal direction is obviously enhanced, namely, the surface wave strength is improved through the sawtooth structure, and the broadening of the beam width is realized.
The MRCS results for the conventional waveguide slot antenna and the SSPP quasi-super-surface slot antenna are shown in fig. 10. The comparison of the results of the MRCS simulation shows that: compared with the traditional waveguide slot antenna, the SSPP slot antenna can obtain obvious RCS reduction in the range of 1 GHz-10 GHz, and the maximum RCS reduction exceeds 15 dB.
(3) Experimental test and analysis of SSPP slot antenna
The conventional waveguide slot antenna and the SSPP slot antenna were manufactured as shown in fig. 11, and the two types of antennas were placed in a microwave dark room for testing. The vector network analyzer used is Agilent N5230C, and the tested horn antenna can work in the frequency band range of 1 GHz-18 GHz. FIG. 12 shows S of the antenna11Test results, fig. 13 shows the pattern test results of the antennas 5.4GHz and 5.65 GHz. From S11The test result shows that the traditional waveguide slot antenna can obtain 9.1% relative bandwidth of 5.32 GHz-5.83 GHz; the SSPP slot antenna realizes 9.4% of relative bandwidth, and the frequency of the SSPP slot antenna covers 5.25 GHz-5.77 GHz.
The pattern test results of the two antennas at 5.4GHz and 5.65GHz are shown in FIG. 13. The 3dB beam widths of the E surface and the H surface of the traditional waveguide slot antenna pattern at 5.4GHz are respectively 132 degrees and 66 degrees, and the beam widths of the antenna pattern at 5.65GHz are respectively 143 degrees and 56 degrees; the measured beam widths of the SSPP slot antenna at 5.4GHz and 5.65GHz are 185 degrees, 70 degrees, 167 degrees and 102 degrees respectively, and compared with the traditional antenna, the beam width of the SSPP slot antenna is widened by at least 65 degrees. The SSPP slot antenna beam is obviously widened, and the simulation result and the actual measurement result are compared, so that the matching is better.
The MRCS test results for both antennas are shown in fig. 14. As can be seen from the figure, the SSPP antenna has a more obvious MRCS reduction effect than the traditional waveguide slot antenna in the range of 1GHz to 10GHz, but the reduction effect at the position of 2.8GHz to 4GHz is slightly worse. The maximum reduction of MRCS of the x-polarized antenna at 2.04GHz is 16.93dB, and the maximum reduction of MRCS of the y-polarized antenna at 1.78GHz is 23.83 dB. The RCS reduction at 2GHz is mainly caused by the change of the direction of the scattered beam of the electromagnetic wave by the super surface based on the quasi-surface plasmon of the microwave band. The reason why the MRCS reduction effects under different polarizations are not completely consistent includes two aspects, that is, the antenna slot structure is a narrow and long slot, and that the antenna itself has polarization characteristics. Comparing fig. 10 and 14, it can be seen that the measured values and the simulated values are consistent well.
The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included within the scope of the present invention.
