研究目的
To propose a PIN diode-loaded programmable metasurface element and dynamic aperture for controlling electromagnetic waves in real time, with applications in dynamic beamforming, electromagnetic imaging, and security check.
研究成果
The proposed PIN diode-loaded programmable metasurface element enables real-time switching between radiative and non-radiative states with lower ohmic losses compared to traditional cELC resonators. The dynamic aperture can generate various radiation patterns for applications in beamforming, imaging, and security, offering a simpler alternative to systems with amplifiers and phase shifters.
研究不足
The study is based on simulations and does not include experimental validation. The dynamic aperture is one-dimensional with only seven elements, which may limit complexity and scalability. Nonlinear characteristics of alternative components like varactors could introduce complications.
