Abstract
In this work, an electromagnetic black hole based on gradient-index metamaterials is designed and fabricated by drilling holes in easily available materials to achieve efficient microwave heating in multimode cavities. This black hole shows superior performance in improving the utilization of microwave energy when the real part of the relative permittivity varies from 10 to 80 and the loss tangent of the heated material changes within 0.1–1. Different volume fractions of ethanol aqueous solution are used as test material to verify the effectiveness of electromagnetic black hole, and the experimental results are in good agreement with the simulation results.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters (MWCL) publishes four-page papers (3 pages of text + up to 1 page of references) that focus on microwave theory, techniques and applications as they relate to components, devices, circuits, biological effects, and systems involving the generation, modulation, demodulation, control, transmission, and detection of microwave signals. This includes scientific, technical, medical and industrial activities. Microwave theory and techniques relates to electromagnetic waves in the frequency range of a few MHz and a THz; other spectral regions and wave types are included within the scope of the MWCL whenever basic microwave theory and techniques can yield useful results. Generally, this occurs in the theory of wave propagation in structures with dimensions comparable to a wavelength, and in the related techniques for analysis and design.
