The proliferation of millimeter-wave communication and sensing systems has intensifiedelectromagnetic interference (EMI). Existing absorber and radiator structures, which rely on bulkcomponents, face limitations due to parasitic effects and performance degradation at high frequencies.
Therefore, this dissertation proposes a novel design method that combines magnetic material losseswith thin metasurface structures to mitigate interference in the millimeter-wave band.
The first study overcomes the Snoek limit by inducing multiple ferromagnetic resonance (FMR)modes through controlled particle size distribution in CIP/epoxy composites. It achieves ultra-widebandabsorption across the 12–50 GHz range by applying TPU substrate layers and resistive FSS-basedadmittance compensation techniques.
The second study proposed a multifunctional metasurface capable of simultaneously performingabsorption, transmission, and radar cross-section (RCS) reduction within a single planar structure. Thiswas achieved by combining the intrinsic FMR characteristics of M-type ferrite with Floquet modesinduced by the periodic structure. Through impedance design of the bandpass frequency-selectivesurface (FSS) and patch layer, low-loss transmission in the 55 GHz band was realized. Utilizing 1-bitphase encoding, RCS reduction exceeding 10 dB in the 24 GHz band was achieved, along with magneticloss-based V-band optical absorption in the 77 GHz region.
Both studies quantitatively analyzed the electromagnetic contributions of each layer using anequivalent circuit model (ECM) to validate the design. Compared to existing millimeter-wavemetasurfaces, this work demonstrates clear novelty in its thin structure, functional integration, and useof magnetic materials.
This research presents a design methodology for magnetic-based metasurfaces aimed at reducingmillimeter-wave interference and controlling waveforms. The approach has broad applicability invarious high-frequency domains, including next-generation 5G/6G communications, autonomousdriving radar, and vehicle radomes.
