Abstract
In this study, a collimator composed of multi-dielectric structures is designed using the phase field design method, a kind of topology optimization methods. It is also purposed to improve the mechanical-structural performance of a collimator by replacing previously used air regions with another dielectric material. Polypropylene and paraffin are selected as the dielectric materials for the design process taking manufacturability into account. The design objective is formulated by integrating the intensity of the electromagnetic field in the pre-determined target area to realize the collimating performance. The model for accurate numerical analysis was derived from the final result obtained from the design process through the simple cut-off method and it shows the improved performance of 105% compared with the free space wave propagation. For the designed model, the possibility of reverse transformation, the mechanical durability evaluation under the compression load, and the electromagnetic performance in the X-band range were also evaluated.
