Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to high-impedance surfaces. More particularly, the present invention relates to a multi-resonant, high-impedance electromagnetic surface.
- E tan and H tan are the electric and magnetic fields, respectively, tangential to the surface.
- High impedance surfaces have been used in various antenna applications. These applications range from corrugated horns which are specially designed to offer equal E and H plane half power beamwidths to traveling wave antennas in planar or cylindrical form.
- the corrugations or troughs are made of metal where the depth of the corrugations is one quarter of a free space wavelength, ⁇ /4, where ⁇ is the wavelength at the frequency of interest.
- ⁇ /4 is a small dimension, but at ultra-high frequencies (UHF, 300 MHz to 1 GHz), or even at low microwave frequencies (1-3 GHz), ⁇ /4 can be quite large.
- UHF ultra-high frequencies
- 1-3 GHz low microwave frequencies
- ⁇ /4 can be quite large.
- an electrically-thin ( ⁇ /100 to ⁇ /50 thick) and physically thin high impedance surface is desired.
- the high- impedance surface 100 includes a lower permittivity spacer layer 104 and a capacitive frequency selective surface (FSS) 102 formed on a metal backplane 106.
- FSS capacitive frequency selective surface
- Metal vias 108 extend through the spacer layer 104, and connect the metal backplane to the metal patches of the FSS layer.
- the thickness h of the high impedance surface 100 is much less than ⁇ /4 at resonance, and typically on the order of ⁇ /50, as indicated in FIG. 1.
- the FSS 102 of the prior art high impedance surface 100 is a periodic array of metal patches 110 which are edge coupled to form an effective sheet capacitance. This is referred to as a capacitive frequency selective surface (FSS).
- Each metal patch 110 defines a unit cell which extends through the thickness of the high impedance surface 100.
- Each patch 110 is connected to the metal backplane 106, which forms a ground plane, by means of a metal via 108, which can be plated through holes.
- the periodic array of metal vias 108 has been known in the prior art as a rodded media, so these vias are sometimes referred to as rods or posts.
- the spacer layer 104 through which the vias 108 pass is a relatively low permittivity dielectric typical of many printed circuit board substrates.
- the spacer layer 104 is the region occupied by the vias 108 and the low permittivity dielectric.
- the spacer layer is typically 10 to 100 times thicker than the FSS layer 102. Also, the dimensions of a unit cell in the prior art high-impedance surface are much smaller than ⁇ at the fundamental resonance. The period is typically between ⁇ /40 and ⁇ /12.
- a frequency selective surface is a two-dimensional array of periodically arranged elements which may be etched on, or embedded within, one or multiple layers of dielectric laminates. Such elements may be either conductive dipoles, patches, loops, or even slots. As a thin periodic structure, it is often referred to as a periodic surface.
- Frequency selective surfaces have historically found applications in out-of-band radar cross section reduction for antennas on military airborne and naval platforms. Frequency selective surfaces are also used as dichroic subreflectors in dual-band Cassegrain reflector antenna systems. In this application, the subreflector is transparent at frequency band f 1 and opaque or reflective at frequency band f 2 . This allows one to place the feed horn for band f 1 at the focal point for the main reflector, and another feed horn operating at f 2 at the Cassegrain focal point. One can achieve a significant weight and volume savings over using two conventional reflector antennas, which is critical for space-based platforms.
- the prior art high-impedance surface 100 provides many advantages.
- the surface is constructed with relatively inexpensive printed circuit technology and can be made much lighter than a corrugated metal waveguide, which is typically machined from a block of aluminum.
- the prior art high-impedance surface can be 10 to 100 times less expensive for the same frequency of operation.
- the prior art surface offers a high surface impedance for both x and y components of tangential electric field, which is not possible with a corrugated waveguide.
- Corrugated waveguides offer a high surface impedance for one polarization of electric field only. According to the coordinate convention used herein, a surface lies in the xy plane and the z-axis is normal or perpendicular to the surface.
- the prior art high-impedance surface provides a substantial advantage in its height reduction over a corrugated metal waveguide, and may be less than one-tenth the thickness of an air-filled corrugated metal waveguide.
- a high-impedance surface is important because it offers a boundary condition which permits wire antennas conducting electric currents to be well matched and to radiate efficiently when the wires are placed in very close proximity to this surface (e.g., less than ⁇ /100 away). The opposite is true if the same wire antenna is placed very close to a metal or perfect electric conductor (PEC) surface.
- PEC electric conductor
- the wire antenna/PEC surface combination will not radiate efficiently due to a very severe impedance mismatch.
- the radiation pattern from the antenna on a high-impedance surface is confined to the upper half space, and the performance is unaffected even if the high-impedance surface is placed on top of another metal surface. Accordingly, an electrically-thin, efficient antenna is very appealing for countless wireless devices and skin-embedded antenna applications.
- FIG. 2 illustrates electrical properties of the prior art high-impedance surface.
- FIG. 2(a) illustrates a plane wave normally incident upon the prior art high-impedance surface 100. Let the reflection coefficient referenced to the surface be denoted by ⁇ .
- the physical structure shown in FIG. 2(a) has an equivalent transverse electro-magnetic mode transmission line shown in FIG. 2(b).
- the capacitive FSS 102 (FIG. 1) is modeled as a shunt capacitance C and the spacer layer 104 is modeled as a transmission line of length h which is terminated in a short circuit corresponding to the backplane 106.
- Figure 2(c) shows a Smith chart in which the short is transformed into the stub impedance Z stub just below the FSS layer 102.
- the admittance of this stub line is added to the capacitive susceptance to create a high impedance Z in at the outer surface. Note that the Z in locus on the Smith Chart in FIG. 2(c) will always be found on the unit circle since our model is ideal and lossless. So ⁇ has an amplitude of unity.
- the reflection coefficient ⁇ has a phase angle ⁇ which sweeps from 180° at DC, through 0° at the center of the high impedance band, and rotates into negative angles at higher frequencies where it becomes asymptotic to -180°. This is illustrated in FIG. 2(d).
- Resonance is defined as that frequency corresponding to 0° reflection phase.
- the reflection phase bandwidth is defined as that bandwidth between the frequencies corresponding to the +90° and -90° phases. This reflection phase bandwidth also corresponds to the range of frequencies where the magnitude of the surface reactance exceeds the impedance of free space:
- ⁇ ⁇ o 377 ohms.
- a perfect magnetic conductor is a mathematical boundary condition whereby the tangential magnetic field on this boundary is forced to be zero. It is the electromagnetic dual to a perfect electric conductor (PEC) upon which the tangential electric field is defined to be zero.
- PEC perfect electric conductor
- a PMC can be used as a mathematical tool to create simpler but equivalent electromagnetic problems for slot antenna analysis. PMCs do not exist except as mathematical artifacts.
- the prior art high-impedance surface is a good approximation to a PMC over a limited band of frequencies defined by the +/-90° reflection phase bandwidth. So in recognition of its limited frequency bandwidth, the prior art high-impedance surface is referred to herein as an example of an artificial magnetic conductor, or AMC.
- an artificial magnetic conductor includes a frequency selective surface having a frequency dependent permeability ⁇ 1z in a direction normal to the frequency dependent surface, a conductive ground plane, and a rodded medium disposed between the frequency selective surface and the conductive ground plane.
- an artificial magnetic conductor in another aspect, includes a conductive ground plane and a spacer layer disposed on the ground plane.
- One or more arrays of coplanar loops are resonant at two or more frequency bands, each loop having a similar shape and similar size.
- the one or more arrays of coplanar loops produce a frequency dependent normal permeability ⁇ z .
- a disclosed electrical apparatus in another aspect, includes a conductive ground plane and a dielectric layer perforated by conductive rods in electrical contact with the conductive ground plane.
- the electrical apparatus further includes a frequency selective surface (FSS) disposed on the dielectric layer.
- the FSS includes a first layer of capacitively coupled loops resonant at a first frequency, a dielectric spacer layer and a second layer of capacitively coupled loops resonant at a second frequency.
- the frequency selective surface has a frequency dependent permeability in a direction substantially normal to the frequency selectively surface.
- a planar, electrically-thin, anisotropic material is designed to be a high-impedance surface to electromagnetic waves. It is a two-layer, periodic, magnetodielectric structure where each layer is engineered to have a specific tensor permittivity and permeability behavior with frequency. This structure has the properties of an artificial magnetic conductor over a limited frequency band or bands, whereby, near its resonant frequency, the reflection amplitude is near unity and the reflection phase at the surface lies between +/- 90 degrees.
- This engineered material also offers suppression of transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) mode surface waves over a band of frequencies near where it operates as a high impedance surface.
- the high impedance surface provides substantial improvements and advantages.
- Advantages include a description of how to optimize the material's effective media constituent parameters to offer multiple bands of high surface impedance. Advantages further include the introduction of various embodiments of conducting loop structures into the engineered material to exhibit multiple reflection-phase resonant frequencies. Advantages still further include a creation of a high-impedance surface exhibiting multiple reflection-phase resonant frequencies without resorting to additional magnetodielectric layers.
- This high-impedance surface has numerous antenna applications where surface wave suppression is desired, and where physically thin, readily attachable antennas are desired.
- An artificial magnetic conductor offers a band of high surface impedance to plane waves, and a surface wave bandgap over which bound, guided transverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) modes cannot propagate.
- TE and TM modes are surface waves moving transverse or across the surface of the AMC, in parallel with the plane of the AMC.
- the dominant TM mode is cut off and the dominant TE mode is leaky in this bandgap.
- the bandgap is a band of frequencies over which the TE and TM modes will not propagate as bound modes.
- FIG. 3 illustrates surface wave properties of an AMC 300 in proximity to an antenna or radiator 304.
- FIG. 3(a) is an ⁇ - ⁇ diagram for the lowest order TM and TE surface wave modes which propagate on the AMC 300.
- Knowledge of the bandgap over which bound TE and TM waves cannot propagate is very critical for antenna applications of an AMC because it is the radiation from the unbound or leaky TE mode, excited by the wire antenna 304 and the inability to couple into the TM mode that makes bent-wire monopoles, such as the antenna 304 on the AMC 300, a practical antenna element.
- the leaky TE mode occurs at frequencies only within the bandgap.
- FIG. 3(b) is a cross sectional view of the AMC 300 showing TE waves radiating from the AMC 300 as leaky waves. Leakage is illustrated by the exponentially increasing spacing between the arrows illustrating radiation from the surface as the waves radiate power away from the AMC 300 near the antenna 304. Leakage of the surface wave dramatically reduces the diffracted energy from the edges of the AMC surface in antenna applications.
- the radiation pattern from small AMC ground planes can therefore be substantially confined to one hemisphere, the hemisphere above the front or top surface of the AMC 300.
- the front or top surface is the surface proximate the antenna 304.
- the hemisphere below or behind the AMC 300, below the rear or bottom surface of the AMC 300 is essentially shielded from radiation.
- the rear or bottom surface of the AMC 300 is the surface away from the antenna 304.
- FIG. 4 illustrates a TE surface wave mode on the artificial magnetic conductor 300 of FIG. 3.
- FIG. 5 illustrates a TM surface wave mode on the AMC 300 of FIG. 3.
- the z axis is normal to the surface.
- the TE mode of FIG. 4 propagates in the x direction along with loops of an associated magnetic field H.
- the amplitude of the x component of magnetic field H both above the surface and within the surface is shown by the graph in FIG. 4.
- FIG. 5 shows the TM mode propagating in the x direction, along with loops of an associated electric field E.
- the relative amplitude of the x component of the electric field E is shown in the graph in FIG. 5.
- An effective media model allows transformation all of the fine, detailed, physical structure of an AMC's unit cell into that of equivalent media defined only by the permittivity and permeability parameters. These parameters allow use of analytic methods to parametrically study wave propagation on AMCs. Such analytic models lead to physical insights as to how and why AMCs work, and insights on how to improve them. They allow one to study an AMC in general terms, and then consider each physical embodiment as a specific case of this general model. However, it is to be noted that such models represent only approximations of device and material performance and are not necessarily precise calculations of that performance.
- a prior art high-impedance surface 100 comprised of a square lattice of square patches 110 as illustrated in FIG. 6.
- Each patch 110 has a metal via 108 connecting it to the backplane 106.
- the via 108 passes through a spacer layer 102, whose isotropic host media parameters are ⁇ D and ⁇ D .
- FIG. 7 presents a new effective media model for substantially characterizing the prior art high-impedance surface of FIG. 6.
- Elements of the permittivity tensor are given in FIG. 7.
- Each unit cell has an area A and includes one patch 110, measuring b x b in size, plus the space g in the x and y directions to an adjacent patch 110, for a pitch or period of a , and with a thickness equal to the thickness of the high impedance surface 100, or h + ⁇ in FIG. 6.
- ⁇ is typically a small number much less than unity, and usually below 1%.
- the high impedance surface 100 includes a first or upper region 602 and a second or lower region 604.
- the lower region 604, denoted here as region 2 is referred to as a rodded media.
- Transverse electric and magnetic fields in this region 604 are only minimally influenced by the presence of the vias or rods 108.
- the effective transverse permittivity, ⁇ 2 x and permeability, ⁇ 2 x are calculated as minor perturbations from the media parameters of the host dielectric. This is because the electric polarisability of a circular cylinder, ⁇ d 2 /2, is quite small for the thin metal rods whose diameter is small relative to the period a .
- the upper region 602 is a capacitive FSS.
- the effective sheet capacitance, C ⁇ o ⁇ 1 x t , is uniquely defined by the geometry of each patch 110, but ⁇ 1 x in the effective media model is somewhat arbitrary since t is chosen arbitrarily.
- the variable t is not necessarily the thickness of the patches, which is denoted as ⁇ . However, t should be much less than the spacer layer 604 height h .
- An artificial magnetic molecule is an electrically small conductive loop which typically lies in one plane. Both the loop circumference and the loop diameter are much less than one free-space wavelength at the useful frequency of operation.
- the loops can be circular, square, hexagonal, or any polygonal shape, as only the loop area will affect the magnetic dipole moment.
- the loops are loaded with series capacitors to force them to resonate at frequencies well below their natural resonant frequency
- a three dimensional, regular array or lattice of AMMs is an artificial material whose permeability can exhibit a Lorentz resonance, assuming no intentional losses are added. At a Lorentz resonant frequency, the permeability of the artificial material approaches infinity.
- the array of molecules can behave as a bulk paramagnetic material ( ⁇ r > 1) or as a diamagnetic material ( ⁇ r ⁇ 1 ) in the direction normal to the loops.
- AMMs may be used to depress the normal permeability of the FSS layer, region 1, in AMCs. This in turn has a direct impact on the TE mode cutoff frequencies, and hence the surface wave bandgaps.
- a prior art high impedance surface designed to operate at low microwave frequencies (1-3 GHz) will typically exhibit its next reflection phase resonance in millimeter wave bands (above 30 GHz).
- an AMC which provides a second band or even multiple bands of high surface impedance whose resonant frequencies are all relatively closely spaced, within a ratio of about 2:1 or 3:1. This is needed, for example, for multi-band antenna applications. Furthermore, there is a need for an AMC with sufficient engineering degrees of freedom to allow the second and higher reflection phase resonances to be engineered or designated arbitrarily. Multiple reflection phase resonances are possible if more than two layers (4, 6, 8, etc.) are used in the fabrication of an AMC. However, this adds cost, weight, and thickness relative to the single resonant frequency design. Thus there is a need for a means of achieving multiple resonances from a more economical two-layer design. In addition, there is a need for a means of assuring the existence of a bandgap for bound, guided, TE and TM mode surface waves for all of the high-impedance bands, and within the +/- 90° reflection phase bandwidths.
- FIG. 8 illustrates an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) 800.
- the AMC 800 includes an array 802 that is in one embodiment a coplanar array of resonant loops or artificial magnetic molecules 804 which are strongly capacitively coupled to each other, forming a capacitive frequency selective surface (FSS).
- the resonant loops 804 in the illustrated embodiment are uniformly spaced and at a height h above a solid conductive ground plane 806.
- An array of electrically short, conductive posts or vias 808 are attached to the ground plane 806 only and have a length h .
- Each loop 804 includes a lumped capacitive load 810.
- the one or more layers of artificial magnetic molecules (AMMs) or resonant loops of the artificial magnetic conductor 800 create a frequency dependent permeability in the z direction, normal to the surface of the AMC 800.
- each loop and capacitor load are substantially identical so that all loops have substantially the same resonant frequency.
- loops having different characteristics may be used. In physical realizations, due to manufacturing tolerances and other causes, individual loops and their associated resonant frequencies will not necessarily be identical.
- FIG. 10 is a cross sectional view of the artificial magnetic conductor 900 of FIG. 9.
- the AMC 900 includes a first layer 902 of loops 804 resonant at a first frequency f 1 .
- the AMC 900 includes a second layer 904 of loops 804 resonant at a second frequency f 2 .
- Each loop 804 of the first layer 902 of loops includes a lumped capacitive load C 1 908.
- Each loop 804 of the second layer 904 of loops includes a lumped capacitive load C 2 906.
- the lumped capacitances may be the same but need not be.
- the first layer 902 of loops 804 and the second layer 906 of loops 904 form a frequency selective surface (FSS) layer 910 disposed on a spacer layer 912.
- FSS frequency selective surface
- the low frequency limit of the transverse effective relative permittivity, ⁇ 1x and ⁇ 1y lies between 100 and 2000. Accordingly, strong capacitive coupling is present between loops 902 and 904.
- a practical way to achieve this coupling is to print two layers of loops on opposite sides of an FSS dielectric layer as shown in FIG. 10. Other realizations may be chosen as well.
- FIG. 11 illustrates a first physical embodiment of a loop 1100 for use in an artificial magnetic conductor such as the AMC 800 of FIG. 8.
- Conducting loops such as loop 1100 which form the artificial magnetic molecules can be implemented in a variety of shapes such as square, rectangular, circular, triangular, hexagonal, etc.
- the loop 1100 is square in shape.
- Notches 1102 can be designed in the loops to increase the self inductance, which lowers the resonant frequency of the AMMs.
- Notches 1102 and gaps 1104 can also be introduced to engineer the performance of the loop 1100 to a particular desired response. For example, the bands or resonance frequencies may be chosen by selecting a particular shape for the loop 1100.
- a gap 1104 cuts all the way through a side of the loop 1100 from the center of the loop 1100 to the periphery.
- a notch cuts through only a portion of a side between the center and periphery of the loop 1100.
- FIG. 11 illustrates a selection of potential square loop designs.
- FIG. 12 illustrates a portion of a two layer artificial magnetic conductor whose FSS layer uses a square loop of FIG. 11(d). Wide loops with relatively large surface area promote capacitive coupling between loops of adjacent layers when used in a two-layer overlapping AMC, as illustrated in FIG. 12. An overlap region 1202 at the gap 1104 provides the series capacitive coupling required for loop resonance.
- loops of the type illustrated in FIGS. 11 and 12 are formed on surfaces of dielectric materials using conventional printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing techniques.
- PCB printed circuit board
- a metallic layer is deposited on a surface of the PCB and subsequently patterned by chemical etching or other technique. Such processes provide precise control of sizes, spacing and uniformity of printed features.
- FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 show simulation results for the normal-incidence reflection phase of the AMC illustrated in FIG. 12.
- the incident electric field is y-polarized.
- FIG. 13 shows a fundamental resonance near 1.685 GHz, and a second resonance near 2.8 GHz.
- the reason that the AMC 800 with gaps 1104 has a second resonance is that the effective transverse permittivity of the frequency selective surface has become frequency dependent.
- a simple capacitive model is no longer adequate.
- FIG. 15 shows equivalent circuits for portions of the artificial magnetic conductor 800 of FIG. 8.
- FIG. 15(a) illustrates the second Foster canonical form for the input admittance of a one-port circuit, which is a general analytic model for the effective transverse permittivity of complex frequency selective surface (FSS) structures.
- FIG. 15(b) gives an example of a specific equivalent circuit model for an FSS whereby two material or intrinsic resonances are assumed.
- FIG. 15(c) shows the TEM mode equivalent circuit for plane waves normally incident on a two layer AMC, such as AMC 900 of FIG. 9.
- the models developed herein are useful for characterizing, understanding, designing and engineering devices such as the AMCs described and illustrated herein. These models represent approximations of actual device behavior.
- Complex loop FSS structures such as that shown in FIG. 12, have a dispersive, or frequency dependent, effective transverse permittivity which can be properly modeled using a more complex circuit model. Furthermore, analytic circuit models for dispersive dielectric media can be extended in applicability to model the transverse permittivity of complex FSS structures.
- the second Foster canonical circuit for one-port networks, shown in FIG. 15(a), is a general case which should cover all electrically-thin FSS structures. Each branch manifests an intrinsic resonance of the FSS. For an FSS made from low loss materials, R n is expected to be very low, hence resonances are expected to be Lorentzian.
- the effective sheet capacitance for the loop FSS shown in FIG. 12 has a Lorentz resonance somewhere between 1.685 GHz and 2.8 GHz.
- the ⁇ 1 y curve 1602 shown in the upper graph of FIG. 16 is obtained.
- Two FSS material resonances are evident near 2.25 GHz and 3.2 GHz.
- the ⁇ 1 y curve 1604 is the transverse relative permittivity required to achieve resonance for the AMC, a zero degree reflection phase.
- the reflection phase curve shown in the lower graph of FIG. 16 was computed using the transmission line model shown in FIG.
- FIGS. 17, 20 and 21 There are many additional square loop designs which may be implemented in FSS structures to yield a large transverse effective permittivity. More examples are shown in FIGS. 17, 20 and 21 where loops of substantially identical size and similar shape are printed on opposite sides of a single dielectric layer FSS. Reflection phase results for x and y polarized electric fields applied to an AMC of the design shown in FIG. 17 are shown in FIGS. 18 and 19.
- P 400 mils
- g1 30 mils
- g2 20 mils
- r 40 mils
- w 30 mils
- t 8 mils
- h 60 mils.
- ⁇ r 3.38 in both FSS and spacer layers since this printed AMC is fabricated using Rogers R04003 substrate material.
- a via is fabricated using a 20 mil diameter plated through hole.
- FIG. 18 shows measured reflection phase data for an x polarized electric field normally incident on the AMC of FIG. 17. Resonant frequencies are observed near 1.6 GHz and 3.45 GHz.
- FIG. 19 shows measured reflection phase data for a y polarized electric field normally incident on the AMC of FIG. 17. Resonant frequencies are observed near 1.4 GHz and 2.65 GHz.
- each polarization sees different resonant frequencies. However, it is believed that the design has sufficient degrees of freedom to make the resonance frequencies polarization independent.
- FIG. 21 shows an additional alternative embodiment for a frequency selective surface implemented with square loops.
- the illustrated loop design of FIG. 21 has overlapping square loops 2100 on each layer 902, 904 with deep notches 2102 cut from the center 2104 toward each corner. Gaps 2106, 2108 are found at the 4:30 position on the upper layer and at the 7:30 position on the lower layer respectively.
- AMC reflection phase for the x and y directed E field polarization is shown in FIGS. 22 and 23 respectively. Again, dual resonant frequencies are clearly seen.
- FIG. 24 An alternative type of dispersive capacitive FSS structure can be created where loops 2402 are printed on the one side and notched patches 2404 are printed on the other side of a single dielectric layer FSS. An example is shown in FIG. 24.
- hexagonal loops can be printed in a variety of shapes that include notches which increase the loop self inductance. These notches may vary in number and position, and they are not necessarily the same size in a given loop. Furthermore, loops printed on opposite sides of a dielectric layer can have different sizes and features. There are a tremendous number of independent variables which uniquely define a multilayer loop FSS structure.
- FIGS. 25, 26 and 27 Six possibilities of hexagonal loop FSS designs are illustrated in FIGS. 25, 26 and 27.
- a first layer 902 of loops is capacitively coupled with a second layer of loops 904.
- the hexagonal loops presented here are intended to be regular hexagons. Distorted hexagons could be imagined in this application, but their advantage is unknown at this time.
- FIG. 28 illustrates an effective media model for a high impedance surface 2800.
- the general effective media model of FIG. 28 is applicable to high impedance surfaces such as the prior art high impedance surface 100 of FIG. 1 and the artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) 800 of FIG. 8.
- the AMC 800 includes two distinct electrically-thin layers, a frequency selective surface (FSS) 802 and a spacer layer 804.
- Each layer 802, 804 is a periodic structure with a unit cell repeated periodically in both the x and y directions.
- the periods of each layer 802, 804 are not necessarily equal or even related by an integer ratio, although they may be in some embodiments.
- the period of each layer is much smaller than a free space wavelength ⁇ at the frequency of analysis ( ⁇ /10 or smaller).
- the effective media model does not necessarily characterize precisely the performance or attributes of a surface such as the AMC 800 of FIG. 8 but merely models the performance for engineering and analysis. Changes may be made to aspects of the effective media model without altering the overall effectiveness of the model or the benefits obtained therefrom.
- the high impedance surface 2800 for the AMC 800 of FIG. 8 is characterized by an effective media model which includes an upper layer and a lower layer, each layer having a unique tensor permittivity and tensor permeability.
- Each layer's tensor permittivity and each layer's tensor permeability have non-zero elements on the main tensor diagonal only, with the x and y tensor directions being in-plane with each respective layer and the z tensor direction being normal to each layer.
- the result for the AMC 800 is an AMC resonant at multiple resonance frequencies.
- each layer 2802, 2804 is a bi-anisotropic media, meaning both permeability ⁇ and permittivity ⁇ are tensors. Further, each layer 2802, 2804 is uniaxial meaning two of the three main diagonal components are equal, and off-diagonal elements are zero, in both ⁇ and ⁇ . So each layer 2802, 2804 may be considered a bi-uniaxial media.
- the subscripts t and n denote the transverse ( x and y directions) and normal ( z direction) components.
- Each of the two layers 2802, 2804 in the bi-uniaxial effective media model for the high impedance surface 2800 has four material parameters: the transverse and normal permittivity, and the transverse and normal permeability.
- the transverse and normal permittivity Given two layers 2802, 2804, there are a total of eight material parameters required to uniquely define this model. However, any given type of electromagnetic wave will see only a limited subset of these eight parameters. For instance, uniform plane waves at normal incidence, which are a transverse electromagnetic (TEM) mode, are affected by only the transverse components of permittivity and permeability.
- TEM transverse electromagnetic
- a transverse electric (TE) surface wave propagating on the high impedance surface 2800 has a field structure shown in FIG. 4.
- the electric field (E field) is transverse to the direction of wave propagation, the + x direction. It is also parallel to the surface. So the electric field sees only transverse permittivities.
- the magnetic field (H field) lines form loops in the xz plane which encircle the E field lines. So the H field sees both transverse and normal permeabilities.
- the transverse magnetic (TM) surface wave has a field structure shown in FIG. 5. Note that, for TM waves, the role of the E and H fields is reversed relative to the TE surface waves. For TM modes, the H field is transverse to the direction of propagation, and the E field lines (in the xz plane) encircle the H field. So the TM mode electric field sees both transverse and normal permittivities.
- ⁇ 1 n and ⁇ 2 n are fundamental parameters which permit independent control of the TM modes, and hence the dominant TM mode cutoff frequency.
- ⁇ 1 n and ⁇ 2 n are fundamental parameters which permit independent control of the TE modes, and hence the dominant TE mode cutoff frequency.
- FIG. 29 shows a prior art high impedance surface 100 whose frequency selective surface 102 is a coplanar layer of square conductive patches of size b x b, separated by a gap of dimension g..
- ⁇ D is the relative permittivity of the background or host dielectric media in the spacer layer 104
- ⁇ D is the relative permeability of this background media in the spacer layer 104
- ⁇ is the ratio of cross sectional area of each rod or post to the area A of the unit cell in the rodded media or spacer layer 104.
- C denotes the fixed FSS sheet capacitance.
- the rods or posts may be realized by any suitable physical embodiment, such as plated-through holes or vias in a conventional printed circuit board or by wires inserted through a foam. Any technique for creating a forest of vertical conductors (i.e., parallel to the z axis), each conductor being electrically coupled with the ground plane, may be used.
- the conductors or rods may be circular in cross section or may be flat strips of any cross section whose dimensions are small with respect to the wavelength ⁇ in the host medium or dielectric of the spacer layer. In this context, small dimensions for the rods are generally in the range of ⁇ /1000 to ⁇ /25.
- the AMC 800 has transverse permittivity in the y tensor direction substantially equal to the transverse permittivity in the x tensor direction. This yields an isotropic high impedance surface in which the impedance along the y axis is substantially equal to the impedance along the x axis.
- the transverse permittivity in the y tensor direction does not equal the transverse permittivity in the x tensor direction to produce an anisotropic high impedance surface, meaning the impedances along the two inplane axes are not equal. Examples of the latter are shown in Figures 17 and 21.
- Effective media models for substantially modelling both the high impedance surface 100 and an AMC 800, 900 are listed in Table 2. Two of the tensor elements are distinctly different in the AMC 800, 900 relative to the prior art high-impedance surface 100. These are the transverse permittivity ⁇ 1 x , ⁇ 1 y and the normal permeability ⁇ 1 z , both of the upper layer or frequency selective surface. The model for the lower layer or spacer layer is the same in both the high impedance surface 100 and the AMC 800, 900.
- Y ( ⁇ ) is an admittance function written in the second Foster canonical form for a one port circuit:
- the high impedance surface 100 has an FSS capacitance which is frequency independent.
- the AMC 800, 900 has an FSS 802 whose capacitance contains inductive elements in such a way that the sheet capacitance undergoes one or more Lorentz resonances at prescribed frequencies. Such resonances are accomplished by integrating into the FSS 802 the physical features of resonant loop structures, also referred to as artificial magnetic molecules. As the frequency of operation is increased, the capacitance of the FSS 802 will undergo a series of abrupt changes in total capacitance.
- FIG. 30 illustrates sheet capacitance for the frequency selective surface 802 of the AMC 800 of FIG. 8 and the AMC 900 of FIG. 9.
- FIG. 30(a) shows that the capacitance of the FSS 802 is frequency dependent.
- FIG 30(b) shows a Debye response obtained from a lossy FSS where R n is significant.
- the drop in capacitance across each resonant frequency is equal to C n , the capacitance in each shunt branch of Y ( ⁇ ).
- This FSS capacitance is used to tune the inductance of the spacer layer 804, which is a constant, to achieve a resonance in the reflection coefficient phase for the AMC 800, 900.
- This multi-valued FSS capacitance as a function of frequency is the mechanism by which multiple bands of high surface impedance are achieved for the AMC 800, 900.
- the two-layer high impedance surface 100 will offer reflection phase resonances at a fundamental frequency, plus higher frequencies near where the electrical thickness of the bottom layer is n ⁇ and n is an integer. These higher frequency resonances are approximately harmonically related, and hence uncontrollable.
- a second difference in the tensor effective media properties for the high impedance surface 100 and AMC 800 is in the normal permeability component ⁇ 1 n .
- the high impedance surface 100 has a constant ⁇ 1 n
- the AMC 800, 900 is designed to have a frequency dependent ⁇ 1 n .
- the impedance function Z ( ⁇ ) can be written in the first Foster canonical form for a one-port circuit.
- This impedance function is sufficient to accurately describe the normal permeability of the FSS 802 in an AMC 800, 900 regardless of the number and orientation of uniquely resonant artificial magnetic molecules.
- the prior art high-impedance surface 100 whose FSS 102 is composed of metal patches, has a lower bound for ⁇ 1 n .
- This lower bound is inversely related to the transverse permittivity according to the approximate relation ⁇ 1 n ⁇ 2/ ⁇ 1 t .
- ⁇ 1 n is anchored at this value for the prior art high- impedance surface 100.
- the overlapping loops used in the FSS 802 of the AMC 800, 900 allow independent control of the normal permeability. Normal permeabilities may be chosen so that surface wave suppression occurs over some and possibly all of the +/- 90° reflection phase bandwidths in a multi-band AMC such as AMC 800 and AMC 900.
- the illustrated embodiment uses arrays of overlapping loops as the FSS layer 802, or in conjunction with a capacitive FSS layer, tuned individually or in multiplicity with a capacitance. This capacitance may be the self capacitance of the loops, the capacitance offered by adjacent layers, or the capacitance of external capacitors attached to the FSS. such as chip capacitors.
- the loops and capacitance are tuned so as to obtain a series of Lorentz resonances across the desired bands of operation.
- the resonances of the artificial magnetic molecules affords the designer a series of staircase steps of progressively dropping normal permeability.
- the region of rapidly changing normal permeability around the resonances may be used to advantage in narrowband operations.
- the illustrated embodiment uses plateaus of extended depressed normal permeability to suppress the onset of guided bound TE surface waves within the desired bands of high-impedance operation.
- the purpose of the resonance in the effective transverse permittivities ⁇ 1 t is to provide multiple bands of high surface impedance.
- the purpose of the resonances in the normal permeability ⁇ 1 n is to depress its value so as to prevent the onset of TE modes inside the desired bands of high impedance operation.
- FIG. 31 illustrates an artificial magnetic conductor 3100 including a multiple layer frequency selective surface (FSS) 3102.
- the AMC 3100 further includes a conductive ground plane 3104 and a rodded media forming a spacer layer 3106 disposed between the FSS 3102 and the conductive ground plane 3104.
- the FSS 3102 has a frequency dependent permeability ⁇ 1z in a direction normal to the frequency dependent surface 3102. Exemplary dimensions and coordinate axes are shown in FIG. 31.
- the FSS 3102 includes three arrays of substantially coplanar artificial magnetic molecules.
- the artificial magnetic molecules are preferably implemented as overlapping capacitively coupled loops.
- the FSS 3102 includes a first array 3112, a second array 3114 and a third array 3116 of artificial magnetic molecules.
- a first dielectric layer 3118 separates the first array 3112 of artificial magnetic molecules from the second array 3114 of artificial magnetic molecules.
- the arrays 3112, 3114, 3116 are shown as being coplanar in respective planes. This arrangement is particularly well suited to manufacture using conventional printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing techniques of depositing a metallic layer on a PCB surface and etching with a chemical or other process. In other embodiments, other manufacturing techniques, some of which will produce arrays of artificial magnetic molecules which are not substantially coplanar, may be substituted.
- PCB printed circuit board
- the AMC 3100 includes three layers 3112, 3114, 3116 of loops separated by two dielectric layers 3118, 3120. In other embodiments, other combinations of layers of loops and dielectric layers may be used.
- a FSS in accordance with the disclosed embodiments will include n layers of loops and n-1 dielectric layers isolating the layers of loops.
- the spacer layer 3106 includes metallic rods 3108 periodically positioned in a dielectric material.
- each loop of each array of loops 3112, 3114, 3116 is associated with a rod 3108 of the spacer layer 3106.
- Any suitable manufacturing method for example, as described above, may be used to manufacture the rodded media of the spacer layer 3108.
- FIG. 32 illustrates a top view of the multiple-layer frequency selective surface 3102 of FIG. 31.
- FIG. 32 shows the first array 3112, the second array 3114 and the third array 3116 of the frequency selective surface 3102. A portion only of each array is visible to illustrate the layering of the respective arrays.
- each of the arrays 3112, 3114, 3116 includes substantially identical hexagonal loops periodically spaced on the FSS 3102. Each loop is notched to tailor the self-inductance of the loop and includes a gap to tailor the resonant frequency of the loop.
- the embodiment of FIGS. 31 and 32 is illustrative only. In other embodiments, different size and shape loops may be used along with different numbers of layers or arrays.
- the present embodiments provide a variety of high-impedance surfaces or artificial magnetic conductors which exhibit multiple reflection phase resonances, or multi-band performance.
- the resonant frequencies for high surface impedance are not harmonically related, but occur at frequencies which may be designed or engineered. This is accomplished by designing the tensor permittivity of the upper layer to have a behavior with frequency which exhibits one or more Lorentzian resonances.
