Abstract:
The present invention relates to a wave-absorbing metamaterial, comprising a substrate which is provided with two opposite lateral surfaces, wherein a plurality of periodically arranged artificial metal microstructures are attached on at least one of the two opposite lateral surfaces; when an electromagnetic wave having an incident direction vertical to the two opposite lateral surfaces of the substrate is transmitted to the wave-absorbing metamaterial, a relative permittivity of the metamaterial is substantially equal to a relative magnetic conductivity of the metamaterial. A wave-absorbing principle different from that of a conventional wave-absorbing material is employed on the wave-absorbing metamaterial; an ideal wave-absorbing effect is achieved by periodically arranging various artificial metal microstructures on the substrate and adjusting the artificial metal microstructures; and the wave-absorbing metamaterial has the advantages of minor weight, small thickness and simply adjustable electromagnetic parameters.

The present disclosure relates to a metamaterial for converging electromagnetic waves, which comprises a plurality of metamaterial sheet layers stacked integrally in an x direction. Each of the metamaterial sheet layers comprises a plurality of metamaterial units. Each of the metamaterial units has an identical substrate unit and a man-made microstructure attached on the substrate unit. The metamaterial units of each row have a same refractive index. Refractive indices of the metamaterial units of each column satisfy particular relationships. The man-made microstructure is a non-90° rotationally symmetrical structure, and an extraordinary optical axis of a refractive index ellipsoid thereof is non-perpendicular to and unparallel to the y direction. The thickness of the metamaterial can be considerably decreased while the function of converging electromagnetic waves is achieved in the present disclosure. This is favorable for making the metamaterial product miniaturized and lightweight.
Abstract:
Embodiments of the present invention relate to an electromagnetic wave beam splitter, comprising a functional layer made of at least one metamaterial sheet, wherein different metamaterial sheets have the same refractive index distribution; the metamaterial sheet may be divided into a circular region and an annular region concentric to the circular region; a refractive index increases continuously as a radius increases and refractive indices at the same radius are the same within the circular region; and a refractive index decreases continuously as a radius increases and refractive indices are the same at the same radius within the annular region. The circular region of the functional layer of the beam splitter according to the present invention has the function of diverging an electromagnetic wave; the annular region has the function of converging an electromagnetic wave; the electromagnetic wave incident on the circular region of the functional layer deflects toward edges on two sides of the functional layer respectively; the electromagnetic wave incident on the annular region deflects in a direction toward a circle center; and after an electromagnetic wave emitted by a signal source is incident on the beam splitter, an emergent electromagnetic wave forms an annular radiation region. This can satisfy the requirements of, for example, avoiding an obstacle and interference.

A polarization converter made of metamaterial, including a base material and a number of artificial microstructures disposed on the base material. The artificial microstructures can influence the electric field vector of plane electromagnetic wave propagating in it. The electric field vector of the electromagnetic wave can be decomposed into two non-zero orthogonal components on one or more planes perpendicular to the incident direction of the electromagnetic wave, the orthogonal components can be parallel and perpendicular to the optical axis at the position where the artificial microstructure located. After the electromagnetic wave passing through the polarization converter made of metamaterial, the two orthogonal components have a phase difference Δθ different from before incidence, thereby achieving mutual conversion between the above electromagnetic wave polarization methods. The polarization converter made of metamaterial of the present invention is simple in structure, and can easily realize polarization conversion of electromagnetic waves.

Disclosed is an offset feed satellite television antenna comprising a metamaterial panel (100) arranged behind a feed (1). The metamaterial panel (100) comprises a core layer (10) and a reflective panel (200) arranged on a lateral surface of the core layer (10). The core layer (10) comprises at least one core layer lamella (11). The core layer lamella (11) can be divided into multiple belt areas on the basis of refractive indexes. With a fixed point as a center, the refractive indexes on the multiple belt areas are identical at a same radius, while the refractive indexes on each belt area decrease gradually as the radius increases. For two adjacent belt areas, the minimum value of the refractive indexes of the inner belt area is less than the maximum value of the refractive indexes of the outer belt area. A connection between the center and the feed (1) is perpendicular to the core layer lamella (11), while the center does not overlap the center of the core layer lamella (11). In addition, the present invention also provides a satellite television receiver system having the offset feed satellite television antenna. The present invention allows for facilitated manufacturing and processing, and for further reduced costs.
