ABSTRACT
A novel linear polarization converter operating in C- and X-bands with high polarization conversion ratio is described and demonstrated based on frequency selective surface. The building element is a planar-dipole pair, which is orthogonally printed on a double-layer substrate and vertically connected by a pair of through-via holes functioning as a quasi-two-wire transmission line coupler. A perforated metal shielding layer is sandwiched between the double-layer structure to only support a transverse electric and magnetic (TEM) mode coupling between the top and bottom dipolar components. The front dipole responds to the incident transverse electric (TE) wave, and sends the induced current into the two-wire transmission line to feed the bottom dipole. The bottom dipole is orthogonal or oriented at an arbitrary angle with respect to the top one, and a resultant outgoing transverse magnetic (TM) wave or arbitrary orientation polarized wave can be achieved. In addition, a bidirectional orthogonal polarization converter is realized by using double orthogonally arranged planar-dipole pairs, which are also printed on the same double-layer substrate.
ABSTRACT
Tailoring electromagnetically induced transparency with two different coupling mechanisms has been numerically demonstrated. The results show that EIT based on simultaneous electric resonance and magnetic resonance has relatively larger coupling distance compared with that based on electric resonance near field coupling to magnetic resonance. The relatively large coupling distance is due to the relatively small susceptibility change. For EIT based on simultaneous electric resonance and magnetic resonance, not only incident electric field but also the incident magnetic field pays a role on the susceptibility of system. The influence of the incident magnetic field leads to relatively smaller susceptibility change compared with that based on electric resonance near field coupling to magnetic resonance.
ABSTRACT
Based on the generalized transformation for a nonmagnetic cylindrical concentrator, we present nonlinear coordinate transformations to realize excellent concentrating performance with minimized scattering. By matching the impedance at both the inner and outer boundaries and utilizing nonlinear optimization techniques, the best parameters of the nonlinear transformation can be determined. Results show that the concentrating power is sensitive to the impedance at the inner interface. In addition, an alternating layered system consisting of nonmagnetic isotropic materials is applied to experimentally mimic the concentrator, and excellent concentrating performances have been observed.
