  • 基于VO2的相变特性, 提出了仅用两种混合结构实现2-bit (四种状态)编码的太赫兹编码超表面. 结构单元中贯通的金属线可用作电压引线对单行阵列进行控制, 使得固定阵列结构能够呈现不同的状态编码, 实现对波束的动态调控. 此外, 采用MATLAB软件对编码超表面阵列天线进行了可视化设计, 通过对工作频率、波束偏转角度等参数的设置, 实现了对状态序列与辐射结果的预测. 该可视化系统不限于具体的结构单元, 对一切满足编码条件的阵列均具有普适性. 最后, 采用深度神经网络进行了逆向天线设计, 通过与模拟对比验证了其在波束偏转角度和单元排布的有效性. 本文为主动灵活调控太赫兹波提供了新途径, 在太赫兹成像、相控雷达、通信等领域具有潜在的应用价值.

     

    To realize the diversified applications of terahertz wave, a new method to realize 2-bit (4 states) coding metasurface with only two hybrid units is proposed, which combines the phase transition characteristics of VO2 and is different from the traditional metasurface. The metal wire threaded through the patch makes single-line control possible. The method of preparing the VO2 thin film and the voltage control mechanism make the design more practical. The highlight of this design is that the fixed structure array can encode different state sequences and then tune the reflected beam. On this basis, a visual design is carried out for the calculation of the coding metasurface array antenna by MATLAB. The state sequence and radiation results are predicted by actively setting the operating frequency, beam deflection angle, etc., so as to achieve active adjustment. The system does not limit the unit structure and is universal to all arrays that meet the coding conditions. In addition, a deep neural network is introduced into the array arrangement, and the structure sequence is predicted by algorithm training and verified by numerical calculation and full-wave simulation. The results show that the proposed method is effective in beam deflection angle and structure arrangement. This study presents a new way of actively and flexibly controlling terahertz waves, which has potential applications in terahertz imaging, phase-controlled radar, communication and other fields.
