    A Study on Generating E-band Vortex Electromagnetic Waves with a Metasurface and Traveling-wave Tube

    • 摘要: 统计态涡旋电磁波具有发散的特性,难以进行有效的远距离传播,行波管是一种大功率器件,可以解决远距离传输的难题。文中开展了利用行波管结合超表面产生拓扑荷数l=+1的统计态大功率E波段涡旋电磁波的研究,提出了“行波管+喇叭天线+超表面”的辐射系统。利用喇叭天线将行波管输出的TE10模式电磁波转化为平面电磁波,再由超表面接收转化为涡旋电磁波。文中仿真设计了可将TE10模式电磁波转化为平面波的喇叭天线和可将71 GHz~76 GHz带宽内的平面波转化拓扑荷数l=+1涡旋电磁波的超表面。仿真结果验证了该方法的可行性,得到了拓扑荷数l=+1的涡旋电磁波的近场分布,模式纯度达97%。

       

      Abstract: Statistical-state vortex electromagnetic waves exhibit divergent characteristics, making efficient long-distance propagation challenging. Traveling-wave tubes (TWT), as high-power devices, can address this issue of long-range transmission. This paper presents a study on generating high-power, statistical-state E-band vortex electromagnetic waves with topological charge l=+1 using a traveling-wave tube combined with a metasurface. A radiating system comprising a "traveling-wave tube + horn antenna + metasurface" is proposed. The horn antenna transforms the TE10 mode electromagnetic wave output from the traveling-wave tube into a plane wave, which is subsequently converted into a vortex electromagnetic wave by the metasurface. Via simulation, a horn antenna that converts the TE10 mode into a plane wave and a metasurface that transforms plane waves within the 71 GHz~76 GHz frequency band into vortex electromagnetic waves with topological charge l=+1 are designed. Simulation results validate the feasibility of the proposed method, demonstrating the near-field distribution of the vortex electromagnetic wave with l=+1 and achieving a mode purity of 97%.
