    摘要: A projected artificial magnetic mirror (PAMM) includes conductive coils, a metal backing, and a dielectric material. The conductive coils are arranged in an array on a first layer of a substrate and the metal backing is on a second layer of the substrate. The dielectric material is between the first and second layers of the substrate. The conductive coils are electrically coupled to the metal backing to form an inductive-capacitive network that, for a third layer of the substrate and within a given frequency band, substantially reduces surface waves along the third layer.

    摘要: A magnetic interface generator generates a magnetic interface at a center frequency f0. The magnetic interface generator is a passive array of spirals that are deposited on a substrate surface. The magnetic interface is generated in a plane at a distance Z above the surface of the substrate. The distance Z where the magnetic interface is created is determined by the cell size of the spiral array, where the cell size is based on the spiral arm length and the spacing S between the spirals. The center frequency of the magnetic interface is determined by the average track length DAV of the spirals in the spiral array. In embodiments, the spiral array is one sub-layer in a multi-layer substrate. The spacing S of the spiral array is chosen to project the magnetic interface to another layer in the multi-layer substrate so as to improve performance of a circuit in the plane of the magnetic interface. For example, the magnetic interface can be used to increase the inductance of a printed inductor circuit, and to increase the gain and match of a microstrip patch antenna. Furthermore, the magnetic interface reduces the traverse electric (TE) and transverse magnetic (TM) surface waves in the plane of the magnetic interface, which reduces unwanted coupling between transmission lines.

    摘要: An artificial magnetic minor (AMM) cell includes a conductive element and an impedance element. The conductive element forms a lumped resistor-inductor-capacitor (RLC) circuit. The impedance element is coupled to the conductive element. The impedance of the impedance element and the impedance of the RLC circuit establish an electromagnetic property for the AMM cell within a given frequency range that contributes to the AMC. The AMM cell along with other AMM cells collectively produce an artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) having a geometric shape for an electromagnetic signal in the given frequency range.
