电磁波极化特性会影响无线通信系统的性能,随着电磁场与微波技术的广泛应用,为满足信息传输和信息获取需求,电磁波极化特性的自由调控变得非常重要,在无线通信和雷达目标识别技术领域,都是通过改变极化状态来实现极化自由调控,随着波长的变短,相比微波通信,太赫兹通信具备频谱资源更丰富、传输速率更高的优势,但传统结构的极化调控器因存在各种缺陷,在太赫兹频段中的应用具有一定的局限性.针对这个问题,利用各向异性超材料设计了一款可用于太赫兹频段的双功能极化调控器,首先采用坐标分解法分析了器件的双功能极化调控特性,分析结果表明所设计的调控器既可以实现线极化波调控,又可以实现圆极化波调控,具备双功能调控特点;然后采用表面电流法分析了调控器的极化转换机理,仿真结果表明调控器具有4个谐振点,超材料单元结构中发生的四阶电磁谐振叠加,使得调控器工作频带宽,且极化转化效率高,在0.45~1.152 THz的频带内效率可高达90%以上;最后还分析了器件的不同参数对器件性能的影响,提出了调控器性能的优化思路和调控器的实际使用条件.通过对结构参数的分析,发现结构参数的变化会影响调控器工作时的频带宽度和谐振点的分布位置,调控器性能与自身工作频带宽度存在互斥关系,工作频带变宽,调控器性能变差,工作频带变窄,调控器性能变好,在调控器的实际应用过程中,为获取满意的调控特性,要根据具体的调控要求对结构参数进行优化调整;通过对入射角和方位角的分析,发现调控器性能对入射角的变化非常敏感,并指出在使用调控器时,它的摆放位置方向要满足入射波在调控器中的投影与调控器边沿保持平行.与现有工作相比,所设计的调控器性能更高效,结构更简单,并且双功能特性使器件的使用更加便捷和多样化,该工作为太赫兹极化转化器的发展和应用提供了理论参考.
Electromagnetic wave polarization will affect the performance of the wireless communication system.With the wide application of electromagnetic fields and micro wave technology,free control of the electromagnetic wave polarization to meet the demand for information transmission and access to information becomes very important.It is also important to realize free control of polarization by changing the polarization state in wireless communication and radar target recognition.Compared with microwave communication,terahertz communication has the advantages of richer spectrum resources and higher transmission rates with shorter wavelengths.However,the traditional polarization governor has not been well applied in terahertz communication due to someproblems.This paper has designed a model applicable to the double function of terahertz spectrum polarization governor by using anisotropic metamaterial.First,the coordinate decomposition method is used to analyze the components of the double function of polarization control features,and the analysis results have revealed that the designed controller can realize linear polarization wave control as well as circularly polarized wave control,which is featured by double function control.Then,the surface current method is adopted to analyze the polarization conversion mechanism of the governor.The simulation results have shown that the governor has four resonant points,and the superposition of the fourth order electromagnetic resonance occurs in the metamaterials unit structure,which makes the governor work in a wide frequency band and has a high polarization conversion efficiency.Within the frequency band of 0.45~1.152 THz the efficiency can reach more than 90%.Finally,the effects of different device parameters on their performance are analyzed,and the governor's optimization and actual application conditions are proposed.Through the analysis of structural parameters,it is found that the change of structural parameters will affect the band width of the governor as well as the distribution of the resonance point location.The governor has exclusive performance with their working frequency band width.The governor has a poor performance with wider frequency bandwidth and vice versa.In the practical application of the governor,the structural parameters should be optimized and adjusted according to the specific regulation requirements to obtain satisfactory control features.Through the analysis of incident angle and azimuth angle,it is found that the performance of the governor is very sensitive to the change of incident Angle,and it is pointed out that the governor should be positioned in such a way that the projection of incident wave in the governor is parallel to the edge of the governor.Compared with previous work,the regulatordesigned in this paper has a more efficient performance and simpler structure,and the dual-function characteristics make the use of devices more convenient and diversified.This work provides theoretical reference for developing and applying terahertz polarized regulator.
