“…Antennas have lower RCS characteristic when their area decreases [11]. Liu introduced the use of fractal in RCS reduction of antenna, the theoretical analysis and experimental results show that, the fractal can realize RCS reduction of antenna and preserve radiation performance at the same time [12].…”

Abstract-A novel Quasi-Yagi antenna with low radar cross section (RCS) is proposed in this paper. By using arrow-shaped Koch dipoles as the driver and director and cutting the ground of the antenna, the RCS can be reduced in the operating band of 5 GHz-8 GHz when the incident wave is perpendicular to the antenna plane. Wideband radar absorbing material (WRAM) with frequency selective surface (FSS) is devised to replace the metallic reflect plate of the antenna to reduce the RCS in the maximum radiation direction. The average RCS reduction of the antenna in the frequency band of 3 GHz-12 GHz is 8.0 dB. The simulated and measured results show that there is a considerable RCS reduction of the Quasi-Yagi antenna with WRAM, and the radiation performance is preserved at the same time.

“…With the detection and stealth technology developing rapidly, radar cross section (RCS) reduction [1][2][3][4] has been a serious problem in military applications and has attracted significant attention recently. Since the scattering of the antennas has contributed a lot to the total RCS for low observable platforms, more and more attention has been paid to antenna scattering.…”

Abstract-An active reconfigurable radar absorbing structure (RAS) with the pin diode was proposed to reduce the radar cross section (RCS) of antenna. The operating states of the RAS reflector can be switched by using the pin diode. For ON-state and OFF-state diodes, the reflection coefficients of the RAS reflector were less than −25 dB and more than −0.8 dB around 8.3 GHz, respectively. The RAS reflector with ON-state diodes can be used as a dipole antenna reflector and has the same radiation performance as a dipole with a metal reflector, while the RAS reflector with OFF-state diodes can be used as a radar absorber for RCS reduction. Meanwhile, chessboard-like geometry RAS reflector was proposed to achieve wideband RCS reduction. The RCS reduction band covers the working band and is extended to 5-18 GHz. The results show that the reconfigurable RAS reflector can contribute to the antenna RCS reduction at working frequency without loss of radiation performance of dipole antenna.

“…Therefore, the RCS reduction of an antenna must convince that the radiation performance can not be affected. Various techniques such as resistive sheets, distributed loading, fractal, aperture and slotting designs [2][3][4][5][6] has been employed to realize low RCS. However, these studies deal with the structure of single antenna, but rarely relate to the array antenna.…”

Abstract-In this paper, a hybrid algorithm combined method of moments (MoM) with particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used to realize low radar cross section (RCS) array synthesis. Both the scattering factor and the radiation factor are involved in the proposed objective function to achieve the promising dipole array with a reduced RCS and satisfied radiation performance. To improve the optimization efficiency, radiation constraint conditions are adopted to avoid unnecessary scattering calculation. The symmetric matrix and block treatment are also used to fill the MoM impedance matrix. The optimization results show that the proposed algorithm is able to achieve RCS reduction of 5.5 dB for dipole array.
