- the embodiment further provides a second metamaterial panel 30'.
- the second metamaterial panel 30' functions to diverge electromagnetic waves emitted by the feed to improve the short-range radiation range of the feed.
- the second metamaterial panel 30 can be positioned close to the feed port of the feed and can also be separated from the feed by a certain distance. In this embodiment, the second metamaterial panel 30' is in close contact with the transmitting port of the feed source 20.
- the second metamaterial panel 30' is composed of a plurality of first metamaterial sheets 300' having the same refractive index distribution, as shown in FIG. 12, and FIG. 12 is a first metamaterial sheet 300 in the second embodiment of the present invention.
- the schematic view of the three-dimensional structure, the first metamaterial sheet 300 includes a first substrate 301, and a plurality of third manhole structures 302 periodically arranged in the first substrate.
- the basic unit constituting the first metamaterial sheet 300' is still as shown in Fig. 10, but the first metamaterial sheet 300' needs to have a function of diverging electromagnetic waves, and according to the electromagnetic principle, the electromagnetic waves are deflected in a direction in which the refractive index is large. Therefore, the refractive index change rule on the first metamaterial sheet layer 300 is: the first metamaterial sheet layer 300 has a circular distribution of refractive index, and the center of the circle is located at the center point of the first metamaterial sheet layer, and the refractive index at the center of the circle is the smallest. And as the radius increases, the refractive index of the corresponding radius also increases and the refractive index at the same radius is the same.
- the first metamaterial sheet 300 having such a refractive index distribution causes the electromagnetic waves radiated from the radiation source 20 to be diverged to increase the close range of the radiation source, so that the offset feeding microwave antenna as a whole can be smaller in size.
- the overall refractive index distribution relationship between the first metamaterial panel and the second metamaterial panel is discussed in detail above. From the principle of metamaterials, the volume of the artificial pore structure in the substrate directly determines the refractive index value of each point of the metamaterial. At the same time, according to experiments, when the artificial pore structure is filled with a medium having a refractive index smaller than that of the substrate, the larger the volume of the artificial pore structure, the smaller the refractive index of the corresponding metamaterial basic unit.
- the third artificial hole structure arrangement on the first metamaterial sheet constituting the first metamaterial panel is:
- the third artificial hole structure is filled with a medium having a refractive index smaller than a refractive index of the first substrate, and the plurality of third artificial hole structures of the first metamaterial sheet layer are circularly distributed on the first substrate.
- the third artificial hole structure at the center of the circle has the largest volume. As the radius increases, the volume of the third artificial hole structure corresponding to the radius decreases and the volume of the third artificial hole structure at the same radius is the same.
- the second artificial hole structure arrangement on the graded metamaterial sheet is: the second artificial hole structure is filled with a medium having a refractive index smaller than that of the graded super material sheet base material, and the The fixed point of the center point of the layer is the center of the circle, and the second manhole structure at the same radius on the core metamaterial sheet has the same volume, and the size of the second manhole structure increases with the increase of the radius.
- the first artificial hole structure on the core metamaterial sheet is arranged in the following manner: the first artificial hole structure is filled with a medium having a refractive index smaller than that of the core super material sheet substrate, and the The fixed point of the center point of the layer is the center of the circle, and the first manhole structure at the same radius on the core metamaterial layer has the same structure size, and the size of the first hole structure decreases as the radius increases.
- the medium in which the first artificial hole structure, the second artificial hole structure, and the third artificial hole structure are filled with a refractive index smaller than the refractive index of each substrate is air.
- the volume of each artificial hole may be opposite to the above-mentioned arrangement.
- the shape of the artificial hole structure satisfying the refractive index distribution requirements of the first metamaterial panel and the second metamaterial panel described above is not limited as long as the volume of the base unit of the metamaterial occupied by the above is satisfied.
- a plurality of artificial hole structures of the same volume may be formed in each of the metamaterial base units, and it is necessary to make the sum of all the artificial hole volumes on each of the metamaterial base units satisfy the above arrangement rule.

Abstract
La présente invention concerne une antenne à micro-ondes à alimentation latérale comprenant une alimentation, un premier panneau en métamatériau et un panneau réfléchissant fixé à l'arrière du premier panneau en métamatériau, à l'endroit où une connexion entre l'alimentation et le centre de la surface extérieure du premier métamatériau est pourvu d'un angle θ différent de 180°. Une onde électromagnétique sphérique émise par l'alimentation est réfractée par le biais du premier métamatériau, réfléchie par le panneau réfléchissant et à nouveau réfractée par le premier panneau en métamatériau, puis finalement transmise vers l'extérieur en tant qu'onde électromagnétique plane. La présente invention utilise le principe de métamatériau pour fabriquer l'antenne, ce qui permet de détacher l'antenne des restrictions de forme de lentille concave classique et de forme parabolique. Si la présente invention est utilisée, l'antenne peut présenter une forme de panneau ou n'importe quelle forme souhaitée, une épaisseur réduite, une taille réduite et un traitement et une fabrication facilités, et fournit des effets bénéfiques permettant de réduire les coûts et d'améliorer l'effet du gain.
