Checkerboard EBG Surfaces for Wideband Radar Cross Section Reduction

Design of a Novel Wideband Low-Scattering Shared Aperture Metasurface

“…On a broad scale, electromagnetic band gap [1] (EBG), high impedance surface (HIS) [2], frequency selective surface (FSS) [3], [4], polarization rotation surface (PRS) [5], [6], artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) [7][8][9][10], perfect absorbing material (PMA) [11][12][13][14] and spoof surface plasmon polaritons (SSPP) [15], [16] could be classified into the category of MS, among which AMC (easy processing and flexible in manipulating the reflection phase) and PMA (extremely low profile) draw increasingly interest of the researchers.…”

Polarization Conversion Metasurface for Broadband Radar Cross Section Reduction

“…In last few years, there are plenty of applications for RCS reduction by utilizing chessboard configuration based on the passive phase cancelation [5][6][7][8][9]. In the beginning, Paquay et al proposed a planar structure consisting of a combination of artificial magnetic conductors (AMC) and perfect electric conductors (PEC) in a chessboard configuration, which has shown the ability of redirecting the backscattering energy away from the boresight direction [5].…”

“…However, the bandwidth of RCS reduction is restricted by the in-phase reflection of AMC. To expand the bandwidth, many researches have been done [6][7][8][9]. As an example, a wider RCS reduction band is achieved by means of combining AMCs of different sizes [6,7].…”

“…As an example, a wider RCS reduction band is achieved by means of combining AMCs of different sizes [6,7]. In [8] and [9], a method that uses two different types of AMCs was presented.…”

“…To overcome the bandwidth limitation, a novel type of PCM is proposed and analyzed in this paper. Based on the polarization conversion strategy, we succeed to replace two different types of AMCs [8,9] with one structure. The metasurface is created by the combination of an oblique SRR and a cut-wire resonator.…”
