摘要
采用微控制电路加载技术控制超材料的等效介电常数和等效磁导率在不同时间的空间分布形式, 实现空间滤波器中心频率的可调.设计了一种方环缝隙结构超材料滤波器, 单元结构尺寸为18.5 mm×18.5 mm, 通过在单元结构上加载变容二极管实现X波段内的连续可调.当变容二极管电容值从0.15 pF增大到0.70 pF时, 仿真结果表明滤波器的中心频率从11.8 GHz逐渐减小到10.5 GHz, 工作带宽为16.3% (10.2~12.0 GHz), 通带内的回波损耗最小值为22 dB, 插入损耗最大值为0.6 dB.测试结果表明滤波器的中心频率从11.7 GHz逐渐减小到10.3 GHz, 工作带宽为17.2% (10.1~12.0 GHz), 且通带内的回波损耗最小值为25 dB, 插入损耗最大值为0.5 dB.
Abstract
The loading technology of microcontroller circuit was used to change the spatial distribution of relative permittivity and relative permeability in different time, the metamaterials spatial filter can be tuned in frequency. A square loop metamaterial filter was designed with unit structure size of 18.5 mm×18.5 mm, which can be continuously tunable in the X band by loading varactor diode on the unit structure. When the varactor diode increases from 0.15 pF to 0.70 pF, the simulation results show that the center frequency of the filter is decreased from 11.8 GHz to 10.5 GHz, the bandwidth is 16.3% (10.2~12.0 GHz), and the return loss minimum is 22 dB, the insertion loss maximum is 0.6 dB. The measured results show that the center frequency of the filter is decreased from 11.7 GHz to 10.3 GHz, the bandwidth is 17.2% (10.1~12.0 GHz), and the return loss minimum is 25 dB, the insertion loss maximum is 0.5 dB.
