Problems solved by technology

In addition, if a rectifier or capacitor is directly connected in series with the sub-wavelength unit, there will also be a problem of low conversion efficiency due to the extremely low input power
The fourth category is to use electrically small-sized metamaterial antennas and form an array, but the existing working electrically small antennas have low gain, and work in single or dual frequency, and the unit spacing is still limited to about 0.5λ when forming an array. Overall size is still large

Abstract

The invention discloses a surface plasmon meta-material based multi-frequency high-gain electric small antenna. The antenna comprises a metal annular grating, a dielectric layer and microstrip line metal patches, wherein the metal annular grating, the dielectric layer and the microstrip line metal patches are arranged successively from top to bottom and fit to one another. The size of the antenna is sub-wavelength which is about 1% of the wavelength, in the lowest working frequency, of the antenna. A surface plasmon meta-material based multi-frequency high-gain electric small antenna array comprises two or more a surface plasmon meta-material based multi-frequency high-gain electric small antennas, the unit spacing can be much lower than 0.5 wavelength, and the array gain is improved obviously. The antenna and antenna array have the advantages of small size, multiple frequency ranges, high gain and the like, the antenna and antenna array can work in multiple frequency ranges including the broadcast and television frequency range, the GSM frequency range and the WiFi frequency range, the gain and efficiency are higher, and the antenna and antenna array can be used for wireless energy collection.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of microwave energy collection and microwave antennas, and relates to a multi-frequency high-gain electric small antenna and an array based on surface plasmon metamaterials. Background technique [0002] Collecting solar energy, vibration energy, wind energy, geothermal energy, tidal energy, etc. from the surrounding natural environment is highly dependent on the external environment and has high uncertainties, so it is not easy to control, which limits its use in some industries that require high reliability. applications, such as military and medical. In recent years, the Wireless Energy Harvesting (WEH) technology, which collects and stores energy from radio frequency (RF) signals in the surrounding environment, has become an international research hotspot. Due to the presence of a large number of radio frequency signals (such as mobile phone signals or Wi-Fi signals, etc.) in the natural environment, the energy o...
