Wideband radar cross‐section reduction of patch array antenna with miniaturised hexagonal loop frequency selective surface

Abstract: Wideband radar cross-section (RCS) reduction of a microstrip patch array antenna is proposed and investigated. The design is based on replacing the solid metal ground of the antenna with a frequency selective surface (FSS) consisted of miniaturised hexagonal loop elements. The stop band of the FSS is coincident with the antenna working frequency band which is from 3.3 to 3.4 GHz. The FSS acts as the ground plane in the stop band and is transparent to the incident waves in the other frequencies. Therefore, pres… Show more

“…Frequency selective surface (FSS) shows a wide range of applications in electromagnetic shielding [1], satellite communication [2], metamaterials fabrication [3] and radar cross section (RCS) reduction [4][5][6] according to its spatial filter characteristics such as bandpass or bandstop response to electromagnetic (EM) waves [7]. Bandpass FSS (BPFSS) is more widely used among these situations.…”

“…The antenna/radar signature is proportional to the reflections from antenna surface; RCS analysis significantly increases with the use of antennas in military applications. Therefore, RCS analysis and its reduction have attracted great interest from researchers over the last few years [24][25][26][27]. The RCS analysis will explore the orientation of antenna while deploying based on application.…”

“…It is widely used in fields such as satellite communication [2], antenna beam-steering [3], electromagnetic shielding [4], meta-materials integration [5] and radar cross section (RCS) reduction [6][7][8] based on its spatial filter characteristics of electromagnetic (EM) waves such as bandpass or bandstop response. However, performance requirements for FSSs are different according to application environments.…”
