Artificial Ceramic Metamaterial with Meshed Grid Structure for Radome Application

Article Preview

Abstract:

We investigated a novel artificial metamaterial that includes two plates of quartz glass dielectric material and a Ag microstructure sandwiched between the two plates. The Ag grid layer was designed and subsequently prepared by tape casting and screen printing. The transmission characteristics of this metamaterial were able to be controlled by adjusting the geometry parameters of the Ag grid such as the width of the strip and the size of the unit cell. Our work has demonstrated the possibility that the ceramic metamaterial can be used as a transmission material capable of work at high temperatures below the melting point of the metal.
