현대 해상전에서 함정의 피탐지율은 생존성에 직접적인 요소이며, 레이다 반사면적(RCS; Radar Cross Section)은 피탐지율에 있어서 주요 변수 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 RCS 감소기법 중 하나인 레이다 신호를 흡수하는 특수 재질을 통한 RCS 감소 기법인 RAM(Radar Absorbing Materials) 방법을 이용하여 위협 주파수 대역의 RCS 해석을 수행하였다. 해석 모델은 모형선 모델을 이용하였고, RAM 기법에 적용될 전파흡수체는 최신 전파흡수체 기술인 광대역 메타물질을 적용하였다. 광대역 메타물질은 광대역에서 공진주파수를 갖는 MIK 공진구조와 유연성 기판을 이용하여 모델링을 수행하였고, 광대역 메타물질의 성능 분석을 위하여 전자기파의 흡수율과 반사율에 대한 모의실험을 수행하였다. 또한, 광대역 메타물질 적용에 따른 레이다 반사면적 감소효과를 분석하기 위하여 기존 전파흡수체와의 비교를 통하여 RCS 감소 효과를 분석하였다.

Artificially-engineered materials, whose electromagnetic properties are not available in nature, such as negative reflective index, are called metamaterials (MMs). Although many scientists have investigated MMs for negative-reflective-index properties at the beginning, their interests have been extended to many other fields comprising perfect lenses. Among various kinds of MMs, metamaterial absorbers (MM-As) mimic the blackbody through minimizing transmission and reflection. In order to maximize absorption, the real and the imaginary parts of the permittivity and permeability of MM-As should be adjusted to possess the same impedance as that of free space. We propose a dual-wide-band and polarization-independent MM-A. It is basically a triple-layer structure made of metal/dielectric multilayered truncated cones. The multilayered truncated cones are periodically arranged and play a role of meta-atoms. We realize not only a wide-band absorption, which utilizes the fundamental magnetic resonances, but also another wide-band absorption in the high-frequency range based on the third-harmonic resonances, in both simulation and experiment. In simulation, the absorption bands with absorption higher than 90% are 3.93 - 6.05 GHz and 11.64 - 14.55 GHz, while the experimental absorption bands are in 3.88 - 6.08 GHz and 9.95 - 13.84 GHz. The physical origins of these absorption bands are elucidated. Additionally, it is also polarization-independent because of its circularly symmetric structures. Our design is scalable to smaller size for the infrared and the visible ranges.

In this work, a review of mechanical metamaterials and seismic protection systems that use them is carried out, focusing on passive protection systems. During the last years, a wide variety of classical systems of seismic protection have demonstrated to be an effective and practical way of reducing the seismic vulnerability of buildings, maintaining their health and structural integrity. However, with the emergence of metamaterials, which allow obtaining uncommon mechanical properties, new procedures and devices with high performance have been developed, reducing the seismic risk through novel approaches such as: seismic shields and the redirection of seismic waves; the use of stop band gaps and the construction of buried mass resonators; the design of pentamodal base isolators. These ideas are impacting traditional areas of structural engineering such as the design and building of highly efficient base isolation systems. In this work, recent advances in new seismic protection technologies and researches that integrate mechanical metamaterials are presented. A complete bibliometric analysis was carried out to identify and classify relevant authors and works related with passive seismic protection system based on mechanical metamaterial (pSPSmMMs). Finally, possible future scenarios for study and development of seismic isolators based on mechanical metamaterials are shown, identifying the relevant topics that have not yet been explored, as well as those with the greatest potential for future application.

We designed an ultra-wide band-pass filter applicable to microwave reflectometry for KSTAR (Korea Superconducting Tokamak Advanced Research) and to microwave photonics. The proposed ultra-wide band-pass filter exhibits a metamaterial structure characterized by a wide band, low insertion loss, and high skirt selectivity. The proposed filter is applied to enhance the linearity of reflectometry at the output of a VCO (voltage controlled oscillator). The pass-band of the proposed filter is observed at 18~28 GHz, and the out-of-band rejection is below 20 dB. Further, we constructed an unwrapped negative phase of S(2, 1) to verify the characteristics of the metamaterial. The under- and upper-band at lower limits of the pass-band are left- and right-handed, respectively. The group delay of the filter is less than 0.5 ns.

본 논문을 통해, 메타 재질 특성을 가지는 CRLH-TL 구조를 이용하는 새로운 개념의 초광대역(UWB) 대역 통과 여파기의 설계법이 제시된다. 기존의 주기성 혹은 유한 다단 구조의 CRLH-TL가 아닌, 단일 구조만을 이용하여, 관내 파장의 0.25배 길이의 공진기를 기반으로 하는 여파기에서 가질 수 없는 초소형 구조를 형성한다. 특히 초광대역 통과 특성을 위해 필요한 강결합은 인터디즈틀 평행 결합 선로 양단의 접지된 스터브 구조를 통해 구현된다. 제안하는 설계 방안의 타당함은 전자기 모의 시험과 제작품의 측정을 통해 증명되며, 여파기의 전체크기가 '관내 파장/9.4'로의 축소, UWB 100 % 이상의 통과 대역폭, 1 dB 이하의 삽입 손실, 높은 평탄도의 군지연 등의 주파수 영역 특성 결과를 보인다.

This paper presents simple expressions for the effective permeability of bulk metamaterial consisting of ring resonators (RRs) or split ring resonators (SRRs) based on the convenient geometrical factors of the structure compared with wavelength. The resonant frequency dependence of the medium permeability, including loss effects, is analyzed in detail. Inverting the analysis equations, useful design (or synthesis) equations are derived for a systematic design process with some examples. This paper may particularly be useful for the design of a bulk metamaterial with a specific negative relative permeability at a desired frequency. The loss of metamaterials consisting of RRs (or SRRs) is also analyzed over a wide frequency band from 10 MHz to 10 THz.
