摘要

In recent years, high-power millimeter waves (HPMMW) have emerged as a severe electromagnetic disturbance that endangers telecommunication networks significantly, as the intense electromagnetic interference induced by HPMMW can damage metallic electronic circuits and front-end devices. To address this issue, this paper proposes an all-dielectric resonant metasurface-based front-end system that enables millimeter-wave components to resist HPMMW-induced damage. The system comprises a laser, an all-dielectric metasurface, an electro-optic resonator, a photodetector, and electronic circuitry. A 3×3 cell-array metasurface antenna is used to capture and transmit a 65 GHz millimeter-wave signal to an electro-optic field sensor. Subsequently, the photodetector converts the optical signal into a demodulated radio-frequency signal, which can be further processed by the subsequent electronic circuitry. With a compact footprint of 7.7×7.7mm2 and a high receiver sensitivity of −52 dBm, the proposed system can be integrated with other electronic circuits, facilitating the miniaturization of telecommunication equipment.
