Abstract:
1. An impedance matching component disposed between a first medium and a second medium, wherein the impedance matching component is formed by stacking a plurality of metamaterial sheet layers parallel to each other in a direction perpendicular to surfaces of the metamaterial sheet layers, each of the metamaterial sheet layers comprises a sheet substrate and a plurality of man-made microstructures attached on the sheet substrate, a first metamaterial sheet layer and a last metamaterial sheet layer have impedances identical to those of the first medium and the second medium respectively, the plurality of man-made microstructures attached on the first metamaterial sheet layer have a first pattern, the plurality of man-made microstructures attached on the last metamaterial sheet layer have a second pattern, and the man-made microstructures attached on intermediate ones of the metamaterial sheet layers have patterns that are combinations of the first pattern and the second pattern, with the first pattern becoming smaller continuously and the second pattern becoming larger continuously in the stacking direction of the metamaterial sheet layers.
