Abstract
Abstract In this paper, we propose a concept of switchable electromagnetic shield based on seawater. The shield is designed to be a multilayer structure consisting of one chamber layer filled with free space or seawater and three dielectric layers to match with the communication wave signal. At low-power signal for communication purpose, the shield with the chamber layer filled with free space can make the wave signal transparently propagate through. At high-power interference microwave signal impinging onto the shield, the structure with the chamber layer filled with seawater can reflect and absorb the microwave energy. Transparency state for communication signal is designed based on the theory of transmission line, where a key indicator for communication signal transmission is the input impedance of the shield. Shielding state is theoretically calculated under different seawater parameters in a wide frequency band. Both the transparency and shielding states are validated by full-wave numerical calculations, and the results are in good agreement.
