Technical Field

The invention belongs to the field of electromagnetism, relates to a microwave radio frequency technology, and particularly relates to a design method of a dual-polarized orbital angular momentum state multiplexing super surface.

Background

With the rise of the internet and intelligent terminals, the service demand of mobile communication is rapidly increasing, and the requirements on indexes such as data transmission rate, transmission delay and throughput of a wireless communication system are continuously increased. However, the spectrum resources of the low frequency band with good quality are very limited, and it has been difficult to satisfy the new demand of communication only by dividing a new spectrum. At present, due to the scarce spectrum resources, the existing wireless communication technology cannot meet the requirements of social development, so that the deep excavation of the potential of the wireless communication technology in the microwave and millimeter wave frequency band has important significance for the development of a new generation of communication systems.

At present, methods for expanding information capacity based on dimensions such as frequency spectrum and phase of electromagnetic waves have been developed and utilized more fully. Therefore, in order to solve the problem of shortage of spectrum resources, people are urgently required to find a new physical dimension to meet the requirement of realizing the magnitude order increase of communication capacity in the limited spectrum resources. Under the demand, vortex electromagnetic waves carrying orbital angular momentum are generated.

The angular momentum of the electromagnetic wave is divided into spin angular momentum and orbital angular momentum. The spin angular momentum of the electromagnetic wave represents the polarization mode of the electromagnetic wave, and the orbital angular momentum represents the phase space distribution of the electromagnetic wave. Unlike plane waves, electromagnetic waves carrying orbital angular momentum have a helical wavefront with a phase factor between the helical phase wavefront and its complex amplitude

Therein are disclosed

For the rotation azimuth angle, l is the modal order of orbital angular momentum, also called the topological charge value of orbital angular momentum. In theory, l can take any value from positive infinity to negative infinity, and the orbital angular momentum beams of different modes are mutually independent and orthogonal. Therefore, the electromagnetic wave carrying the orbital angular momentum can become a new multiplexing dimension besides the properties of frequency, amplitude, polarization and the like, so as to solve the problem of shortage of frequency spectrum resources and further improve the performance of a communication system.

There are many ways to generate electromagnetic waves carrying orbital angular momentum, mainly including the use of helical phase plates, shaped parabolic antennas, circular antenna arrays, planar integrated antennas, super surface antennas, and the like. However, there is still a great limitation in realizing electromagnetic wave orbital angular momentum state multiplexing. For example, the spiral phase plate and the shaped parabolic antenna can only generate a fixed-mode vortex electromagnetic wave. Therefore, it is difficult for the two methods to simultaneously generate vortex electromagnetic waves of multiple modes, and multiplexing of orbital angular momentum states of the electromagnetic waves is difficult to realize. In addition, the array elements and the feed network of the loop antenna array and the planar integrated antenna are complex and high in cost, and the number of orbital angular momentum modes for realizing electromagnetic wave orbital angular momentum multiplexing is limited. Compared with other methods, the super-surface antenna does not need a complex feeding structure, and has a simpler structure and higher flexibility. The super-surface antenna has the capability of flexibly regulating and controlling the properties of the amplitude, the phase, the polarization direction and the like of incident electromagnetic waves. Therefore, through special design and arrangement of the super-surface units, flexible phase control can be carried out on incident wavefronts, and plane waves are converted into electromagnetic waves carrying orbital angular momentum. However, in the application of microwave frequency band electromagnetic wave orbital angular momentum multiplexing, the current generation mode cannot simultaneously generate coaxially transmitted electromagnetic waves carrying multi-mode orbital angular momentum.

Based on the design method, the invention completes the design of a dual-polarized orbital angular momentum state multiplexing reflection super surface, and the super surface can modulate dual-linear polarization electromagnetic waves incident along four selected different directions, generate eight types of electromagnetic waves carrying orbital angular momentum which are mutually orthogonal, and coaxially reflect the electromagnetic waves along the direction vertical to the super surface.

The method specifically comprises the following steps:

for two orthogonal polarizations: a polarization and b polarization; when the unit only changes the size of the metal structure along the a polarization direction, the resonance frequency of the unit to the linearly polarized electromagnetic wave along the a polarization direction changes, so that the reflection phase of the unit to the linearly polarized electromagnetic wave along the a polarization direction changes along with the change, and the reflection phase of the unit to the linearly polarized electromagnetic wave along the b polarization direction is basically kept unchanged, and vice versa.

fig. 5 is a working effect diagram of the final dual-polarization orbital angular momentum state multiplexing super-surface, and it can be seen from fig. 5 that, when electromagnetic waves in two polarization directions simultaneously act on the super-surface structure shown in fig. 4 along four selected directions, the super-surface can simultaneously and independently modulate incident waves in different directions, generate eight electromagnetic waves carrying orbital angular momenta of different modal orders and reflect along the z-axis to realize coaxial output₁＝45°，When the radiation pattern is incident, l is equal to 0, the reflected wave is a plane wave, namely, the radiation pattern has a peak value at 0 degrees; when the wave is linearly polarized along theta₂＝-45°，θ₃＝45°，

And theta₄＝-45°，Upon incidence, the reflected waves are dual-polarized vortex electromagnetic waves carrying orbital angular momentum of l ═ 1, l ═ 2, and l ═ 3, respectively, i.e., the radiation pattern is concave at 0 °.

As shown in fig. 6, the spiral spectrum of the vortex electromagnetic wave generated by the super surface reflected wave is multiplexed for dual polarization orbital angular momentum. As can be seen from FIG. 6, when the dual linearly polarized waves are along θ₁＝45°，

When the light enters the optical waveguide, the reflected double-linear polarization waves are plane waves, and the modal order of orbital angular momentum of the plane waves is 0; when the wave is linearly polarized along theta₂＝-45°，θ₃＝45°，

And theta₄＝-45°，Upon incidence, the reflected x-polarized waves are vortex electromagnetic waves carrying orbital angular momenta of l-1, l-2 and l-3, respectively, and the reflected y-polarized waves are vortex electromagnetic waves carrying orbital angular momenta of l-1, l-2 and l-3, respectively.
