Meta Materials is a kind of is that elementary cell is also carried out spatial arrangement in a specific way, had the new material of special electromagnetic response with man-made microstructure 2, comprises man-made microstructure 2 and the substrate 1 for man-made microstructure attachment.Man-made microstructure 2 is the planar structure or stereochemical structure that are made up of at least one one metal wire, multiple man-made microstructure 2 array arrangement on substrate 1, and each man-made microstructure 2 and the shared part of the substrate accompanying by it 1 are a metamaterial unit.Substrate 1 can be any material different from man-made microstructure 2, and the superposition of this bi-material makes each metamaterial unit produce an effective dielectric constant and magnetic conductivity, the electric field response of metamaterial unit that these two physical parameters are corresponding respectively and magnetic responsiveness.The feature of Meta Materials to electromagnetic response determined by the feature of man-made microstructure 2, and the electromagnetic response of man-made microstructure 2 depends on the topological characteristic that its pattern wiry has and its physical dimension to a great extent.According to topological graph and the physical dimension of each man-made microstructure 2 arranged in above-mentioned principle design Meta Materials space, just can arrange the electromagnetic parameter of every bit in Meta Materials.
Fig. 1 is the structural representation of the microwave radiator for thermotherapy 100 according to one embodiment of the present invention, and this microwave radiator for thermotherapy comprises radiator body 20, the metamaterial panel 10 be arranged on radiator body 20.As common practise, we are known, electromagnetic refractive index with proportional, when a branch of electromagnetic wave by a kind of Medium Propagation to another medium time, electromagnetic wave can reflect, when the index distribution of material inside is non-homogeneous, electromagnetic wave will to the larger position deviation of refractive index ratio, by the electromagnetic parameter of every bit in design Meta Materials, just can adjust the index distribution of Meta Materials, and then reach the object changing electromagnetic wave propagation path.Can by designing electromagnetic wave convergence that the index distribution of metamaterial panel 10 make to send from radiator body 20 in a less region according to above-mentioned principle.The large I in the region of converging sets according to actual demand, arranges required convergence regional extent by the index distribution changing metamaterial panel 10.In actual applications, according to conditions of patients needs, the radiation intensity of microwave radiator for thermotherapy 100 can be changed by the power of adjustment radiator body 20, thus changes the temperature converging region, make the Treatment need of applicable patient part.In addition, electromagnetic convergence region can also be regulated by changing metamaterial panel 10 with radiator body 20 distance.
Metamaterial panel 10 shown in Fig. 1 comprises at least one metamaterial sheet 3, each metamaterial sheet 3 comprises substrate 1 and attachment multiple man-made microstructure 2 on substrate 1 of sheet, and each man-made microstructure 2 and the shared part of the substrate accompanying by it 1 are a metamaterial unit.In embodiment, metamaterial panel 10 is formed by multiple metamaterial sheet 3 is stacking, equidistantly arrangement ground assembling between this each metamaterial sheet 3, or between two between lamella direct forward and backward surface link into an integrated entity bondingly.During concrete enforcement, the number of metamaterial sheet 3 can design according to demand.Each metamaterial sheet 3 is formed by multiple metamaterial unit array, and whole metamaterial panel 10 can be regarded as and formed along X, Y, Z tri-direction array arrangements by multiple metamaterial unit.Of the present invention have in the metamaterial panel 10 of electromagnetic wave convergence function, the length of side of each metamaterial unit be incident electromagnetic wave wavelength 1/5 to 1/10 between.In the present embodiment, the index distribution of each metamaterial sheet 3 is all identical, and be only described in detail to the index distribution rule of a metamaterial sheet 3 to be described clearly here, the index distribution rule of all the other each metamaterial sheet 3 is all identical.By the topological pattern to man-made microstructure 2, physical dimension and its distribute on substrate 1, make the index distribution of each metamaterial sheet 3 meet the first rule: metamaterial sheet 3 comprises a border circular areas and multiple annular region concentric with border circular areas and the refractive index of circle centre position is maximum; Border circular areas and refractive index in annular region to reduce and the refractive index at same radius place is identical continuously along with the increase of radius; Two adjacent first areas and second area is at least there is in multiple region, in first area, the refractive index of Meta Materials is reduced to n2 from n1 continuously along with the increase of radius, in second area, Meta Materials refractive index is reduced to n4 from n3 continuously along with the increase of radius, and meet n3 > n2, namely there is refractive index in two region adjacents.
Metamaterial panel 10 is formed by the metamaterial sheet 3 that multiple index distribution rule is identical is stacking as shown in Figure 2, so the index distribution of metamaterial panel 10 of the present invention meets the first rule, Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram of refractive index with radius change of the metamaterial panel 10 shown in Fig. 2.Metamaterial panel 10 comprises 3 regions as shown in Figure 3, and the radius length of first area is L1, in this region, be followed successively by a along the refractive index of each metamaterial unit in direction of radius increase 1, a 2, a 3... a n; The width (difference of the radius of second area and the radius of first area) of second area is changed to L2 from L1, and the refractive index along each metamaterial unit of radius augment direction is followed successively by b 1, b 2, b 3... b n; The width (difference of the radius in the 3rd region and the radius of second area) in the 3rd region is changed to L3 from L2, and the refractive index along each metamaterial unit of radius augment direction is followed successively by c 1, c 2, c 3... c n; And each refractive index meets:
a 1≥a 2≥a 3≥……≥a n(1)

Utilize metamaterial panel 10 by the electromagnetic wave convergence that sends from radiator body 20 in a less region, larger the closer to deflection angle folded between edge's incident electromagnetic wave and outgoing electromagnetic wave of metamaterial panel 10.Larger as the refractive index variable quantity between the known adjacent metamaterial unit of common practise, then electromagnetic deflection angle is larger.Therefore, in order to realize the electromagnetic wide-angle deviation of metamaterial panel 10 edge and realize the electromagnetic wave of plane wave form, in regional, the variations in refractive index of metamaterial unit meets following relation:
(a 1-a 2)≤(a 2-a 3)≤……≤(a n-1-a n)≤(b 1-b 2)≤(b 2-b 3)≤……≤(b n-1-b n)≤(c 1-c 2)≤(c 2-c 3)≤……≤(c n-1-c n)(4)
Meeting the metamaterial panel 10 of above-mentioned variations in refractive index magnitude relation, for the electromagnetic wave sent from radiator body 20, take refractive index as a 1metamaterial unit be the center of circle, along with the refractive index variable quantity of increase metamaterial panel 10 in yz plane of radius increases, gradually therefore with a 1the metamaterial unit at place is the center of circle, and during electromagnetic wave outgoing along with the increase incidence of radius, deviation angle is large, and its outgoing deflection angle of electromagnetic wave the closer to the metamaterial unit incidence at place, the center of circle is less.By certain design and calculation, make these deflection angles meet certain rule successively, can electromagnetic wave convergence be realized.Microwave radiator for thermotherapy based on Meta Materials of the present invention is by the man-made microstructure 2 of each metamaterial unit of design, obtain permittivity ε and the magnetic conductivity μ of this unit, and then make the variation delta n of the refractive index of each adjacent metamaterial unit can realize the specific deviation angle of electromagnetic wave to the index distribution design of metamaterial panel 10, the electromagnetic wave that electromagnetic wave that spherical wave form disperses changes plane form into can be realized.
In order to represent metamaterial sheet 3 refractive index refractive index regularity of distribution on yz face more intuitively, metamaterial unit identical for refractive index is connected into a line, and the size of refractive index is represented with the density of line, the closeer refractive index of line is larger, then meet the index distribution of the metamaterial sheet 3 of above all relational expressions as shown in Figure 4.
Experiment proves, the man-made microstructure 2 of identical patterns, its physical dimension becomes ε direct ratio with dielectric constant, therefore when incident electromagnetic wave is determined, by the topological pattern of appropriate design man-made microstructure 2 and the arrangement of man-made microstructure 2 in metamaterial sheet of different size, just can adjust the index distribution of metamaterial panel 10, and then realize the electromagnetic wave that electromagnetic wave that spherical wave form disperses changes plane form into.
The man-made microstructure 2 realizing above-mentioned refractive index and refractive index variable quantity distribution relation have a variety of can implementation, for the man-made microstructure 2 of planar structure, its geometry can be that axial symmetry also can non-axis symmetry; For three-dimensional structure, it can be the rotational symmetric Arbitrary 3 D figure of non-90 degree.

It should be noted that, because in fact metamaterial unit is a cube but not a point, therefore above-mentioned circle, annular just approximate description, the metamaterial unit that actual refractive index is identical or substantially identical circumferentially distributes a zigzag.The programming mode (such as OpenGL) of described point is carried out when its specific design is similar to the smoothed curves such as computer square pixels point-rendering is circular, oval, when pixel is very little relative to curve, curve is shown as smooth, and curve shows sawtooth when pixel is larger relative to curve.
Embodiment illustrated in fig. 5 is the derivative of man-made microstructure 2 shown in Fig. 2, derivative man-made microstructure 2 in Fig. 5 not only comprises the first wire 201 and the second wire 202 of formation " work " font, also comprises being connected to the second wire 202 two ends and perpendicular to the 3rd wire 203 of the second wire 202.
