双极化独立调幅石墨烯超表面

      Dual-polarization independently amplitude-modulated graphene metasurface

      • 摘要: 双极化通道的独立动态调控在提升信道容量和应对复杂通信任务中具有重要意义。本文提出了一种基于双条带状石墨烯三明治的超表面结构,通过在xoy平面内正交放置两条带状石墨烯三明治,实现对电磁波反射幅度的独立调控。当分别改变两条带状石墨烯三明治的外加电压时,可显著影响平行于条带长边的极化波。仿真结果表明,在保持x/y方向条带电阻率为100Ω/sq的条件下,改变y/x方向条带电阻率从100Ω/sq增加至600Ω/sq,在3.76/3.748 GHz频率下y/x极化反射系数从-19.78/-20.68dB增加至-3.19/-3.39dB,调节范围大小为16.59/17.29dB,同时x/y极化反射系数保持基本不变。为阐明双极化独立调控的物理机制,本文通过石墨烯三明治的表面电流分布及超表面的等效传输线模型进行了详细分析。本文提出的石墨烯超表面实现了双极化通道反射幅度的真正独立动态调控,为复杂通信场景中的信道容量提升提供了一种新思路。

         

        Abstract: Independent dynamic control of dual-polarized channels is crucial for enhancing channel capacity and addressing complex communication tasks. This paper proposes a metasurface composed of two graphene sandwich strips placed orthogonally in the x-y plane, which achieves independent control of the reflection amplitude of dual-polarized electromagnetic waves. By independently adjusting the bias voltages applied to the two graphene sandwich strips, the polarized waves whose electric fields are parallel to each strip’s long edge can be significantly affected. Full wave simulations show that, while holding the sheet resistance of the strips oriented along x (or y) at 100 Ω/sq, increasing the sheet resistance of the orthogonal y- (or x-) oriented strips from 100 Ω/sq to 600 Ω/sq increases the reflection coefficient for y-(or x-) polarization from -19.78 (-20.68) dB to -3.19 (-3.39) dB at 3.76 (3.748) GHz, corresponding to tuning ranges of 16.59 (17.29) dB, while the reflection coefficient for the orthogonal x-(or y-) polarization remains essentially unchanged. To elucidate the physical mechanism of dual-polarized independent control, we analyze the surface current distributions of the graphene sandwich strips and develop an equivalent transmission line model of the metasurface. The proposed graphene metasurface thus realizes truly independent, dynamic control of reflection amplitude in dual-polarized channels, providing a new route to increasing channel capacity in complex communication scenarios.
