研究目的
To achieve polarization-insensitive matching at an arbitrary incident angle using a magnetoelectric uniaxial metamaterial layer (MEUML) inspired by the perfectly matched layer (PML) concept in computational electromagnetics.
研究成果
The MEUML concept enables polarization-insensitive matching at arbitrary incident angles, demonstrated through the synthesis of a physical MEUML and the development of a MEUML-based radome. The radome maintains re?ection levels below ?14 dB over the entire angular range of 0? ? 85? for both polarizations and over a wide bandwidth, showcasing the MEUML's potential for impedance matching and other applications requiring extreme control of material properties.
研究不足
The synthesis of the MEUML is challenging due to the need to satisfy four material parameter constraints with no extra degrees of freedom. The unit cell must work for both polarizations and all orientations, requiring a completely different approach and unit cell design.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The MEUML is designed with specific uniaxial permittivity and permeability tensors inspired by the PML concept. A simple metamaterial unit cell comprising two parallel metallic rings separated by a holey substrate is employed to achieve control over transversal and longitudinal material parameters.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The MEUML is designed to match a high-index substrate (εr = 10.2) at 45° incidence and at a design frequency of 10 GHz.
3:2) at 45° incidence and at a design frequency of 10 GHz.

4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: The MEUML synthesis is aided by a parameter extraction technique that can extract the material parameter tensors at any incident angle. The performance of the MEUML is demonstrated through simulations and measurements, including the development of a MEUML-based radome for microwave applications.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The performance of the MEUML and radome is analyzed through re?ection and transmission measurements, with re?ectance remaining below 5% from normal incidence to near grazing angle for both polarizations over a wide bandwidth.
