Optimization of the efficiency of large deployable reflectors by measuring the error around the feed

In this paper, an absorber with a resistive film is proposed, which holds stable polarization absorption characteristics at large angles by exploring the principle of absorption structure. The absorber contains three layers: the top layer is a metal patch with a resistive film, and the middle layer is covered with a metal patch. The thickness of the absorber structure is only 0.5 mm, and the absorber can be perfectly attached to the trihedral corner reflector (TCR) without affecting the characteristics of the reflector. By laying the absorber on the TCR, the TCR is stabilized at 8–40 GHz in the range of the incident angle ±20°, and the radar cross-section (RCS) reduction value of the TCR fluctuates around 1 dBsm. Thus, the RCS values of the three frequency points of 10 GHz, 15 GHz, and 35 GHz are consistent to achieve the accurate regulation of RCS. The stability of the absorber at different frequencies can be achieved, which is essential for the precise RCS regulation of complex scatterer structures. The effectiveness of the method was verified in experiments using a TCR metamaterial absorbing unit with resistive film.
