Abstract
Description
- This disclosure is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from Chinese patent application
, the disclosure of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.CN 202211021655.8, entitled "Frequency Selective Surface" filed on 24 August 2022 - Examples of the present disclosure relate to the field of communications, and in particular, to a frequency selective surface.
- Frequency selective surface, FSS, is an artificial electromagnetic material having a special filtering function, and is widely applied in fields such as radar, aviation, and communications. In a communication system with an increasingly high integration degree, multi-band integration is an important direction, and an antenna with an electromagnetic opening characteristic gradually emphasizes a problem of mutual interference between frequency bands in the multi-band integration, and research on a multi-band FSS has become a great emphasis.
- In previous studies, the multi-band FSS often uses a multi-layer cascaded FSS technology, or a multi-resonant stub technology. The multi-layer cascaded FSS increases the complexity and cost of design and fabrication, and is greatly limited in the civil field. The multi-resonant stub technology refers to integrating multiple stubs within a single FSS unit, and generating passbands of multiple frequency bands by means of resonance of the multiple stubs. The issue with this technique is that when the wavelength of a second passband is much smaller than that of the first passband, the filtering performance of the FSS structure in the second passband is difficult to ensure, since the size of the FSS unit is always determined by the first passband. When the size of the FSS unit is too large relative to the wavelength of the second passband, causing the filtering performance of the second passband to deteriorates sharply. This includes the case where, after the electromagnetic wave is transmitted, its direction characteristics generate a first level of distortion, and when the electromagnetic wave is incident at a 60-degree wide angle, transmission loss is a big problem.
- The examples of the present disclosure provide a frequency selective surface, so as to at least solve the problems in the related art that the single-layer FSS can support fewer passbands and the wide-angle filtering performance is poor.
- According to one example of the present disclosure, a frequency selective surface unit is provided, including at least one first bandpass stub, wherein the two first metal patches are spaced apart to form a first capacitor of physical width L, L is a positive number, the first metal wire is connected to the two first metal patches to form a first inductor, wherein connection positions of the first metal wire and the two first metal patches are both located within the range of L/4 to 3L/4 of the physical width L of the first capacitor; and a dielectric substrate, for fixing the first bandpass stub.
- According to another embodiment of the present disclosure, a frequency selective surface is further provided, which includes multiple frequency selective surface units as described above.

Wherein thefourth metal structure 201 and thesixth metal structure 203 are respectively located on opposite sides of the dielectric substrate to form a plate capacitor, and in a direction perpendicular to the dielectric substrate, the more projected overlapping portions of thefourth metal structure 201 and thesixth metal structure 203 are, the larger the capacitor is; thefifth metal structure 202 and theseventh metal structure 204 are connected through a metallized via 205 to form an inductor. In a specific example, thefifth metal structure 202 and theseventh metal structure 204 may be metal wires, and the narrower the metal wire is, the higher the inductance value is; the capacitor and the inductor are connected in parallel. The second bandpass stub forms a capacitor by means of metal structures distributed on two surfaces of a substrate, and compared with a capacitor structure located on the same side, a gap between metal structures on the same side is replaced by a distance of the thickness of the substrate, thereby reducing the length of the stub on the same plane, and realizing miniaturization. - A person skilled in the art should know that the
fourth metal structure 201 and thesixth metal structure 203 in the second bandpass stub are the second metal patch in the above example, and thefourth metal structure 201 and thesixth metal structure 203 may be rectangular, or may be circular, triangular, polygonal or other non-standard shapes.

Figure 7 is a schematic structural diagram of a first bandstop stub according to a scenario embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown infigure 7 , the firstbandstop stub 300 includes aneighth metal structure 301, aninth metal structure 302, and atwelfth metal structure 305 on a front side of a dielectric substrate, atenth metal structure 303, aneleventh metal structure 304, and athirteenth metal structure 306 on a back side of the dielectric substrate. Theeighth metal structure 301, theeleventh metal structure 304, thetwelfth metal structure 305, and thethirteenth metal structure 306 are metal connecting wires between the stubs, and form an inductor together with other stubs. Theninth metal structure 302 and thetenth metal structure 303 form a capacitor respectively on opposite sides of the substrate. The first bandstop stub forms a capacitor by means of aninth metal structure 302 and atenth metal structure 303 respectively belonging to two adjacent FSS units, so that two adjacent FSS units share one capacitor, i.e. a series equivalent capacitance value C; compared with the non-shared unit structures connected in series, where the capacitance is halved to C/2, thereby achieving the effect of doubling the capacitance value. Similarly, in the case where the required capacitance value is determined, the optimized first bandstop stub structure capacitance value is reduced by half, i.e. the capacitance metal area is reduced by half, thereby realizing the miniaturization of the bandstop stubs. - A person skilled in the art should know that the opposite sides of the dielectric substrate of the first bandstop stub, the
ninth metal structure 302 and thetenth metal structure 303 are the third metal patches in the foregoing embodiment, and theninth metal structure 302 and thetenth metal structure 303 may be circular, may also be triangular, rectangular, polygonal, or other irregular shapes. - The first bandstop stub is of a miniaturized design, and a capacitor is formed by metal structures located on opposite sides of a plate, wherein the front and back metal structures respectively belong to two adjacent units in positive and negative 45 directions. When a single unit capacitor is 2C, two capacitors of adjacent units are in a series connection relationship, so that an actual capacitance value is halved to C. By sharing a capacitor by adjacent units, a capacitance value equivalent to the unit capacitor C is C. Compared with a unit capacitor of 2C, a required capacitance value is reduced, that is, the area of a capacitor metal is reduced, thereby realizing the miniaturization of bandstop stubs.
- A person skilled in the art should know that the metal structure mentioned in this scenario embodiment may be a metal patch, a metal strip, a metal line, and the like, which is not limited herein.
- The FSS provided in this scenario embodiment is an FSS minimum repeatable sub-array, and the sub-array includes four basic units with consistent functions. Each base unit includes a first bandpass stub, a second bandpass stub, and a first bandstop stub. Adjacent basic units at diagonal positions share the capacitance of the first
bandstop stub 300, and therefore, the same-function stubs of adjacent basic units are respectively located on opposite sides of the dielectric substrate, that is, assuming that the first bandpass stub of one basic unit is located on the front side of the dielectric substrate, the first bandpass stub of one diagonal adjacent basic unit is located on the back side of the dielectric substrate. The size of the miniaturized FSS unit is 20 mm, which is equivalent to 0.17λ@2.6 GHz and 0.23λ@3.5 GHz. - During operation, an electromagnetic wave of a bandstop frequency band is incident on a surface of an FSS, a first bandstop stub generates LC series resonance, which is equivalent to the metal transmission line, and the FSS is equivalent to the metal grid, so as to block the propagation of the electromagnetic wave and reflect same. When electromagnetic waves of a cut-off frequency band are incident on the surface of an FSS, the first or second bandpass stub generates LC parallel resonance to form a high-impedance metal transmission line, the FSS cannot form a metal grid, and the electromagnetic waves pass through the FSS to form transmission.

The positional relationship of the first bandpass stub, the second bandpass stub and the first bandstop stub is a common positional relationship among the three stubs in the embodiment of the present scenario. Since the specific structural forms of the first bandpass stub are different, the structural form between the three stubs may be slightly changed, but the positional relationship is basically similar. - The structure of the FSS provided in the embodiment of the present scenario includes three bandpass stubs and one bandstop stub, i.e. a first bandpass stub, a second bandpass stub, a third bandpass stub and a first bandstop stub.
