Wideband RCS reduction based on a simple chessboard metasurface
JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS(2023)
Abstract
To avoid being detected by radar, it is necessary to reduce stealthy military platforms' radar cross section (RCS). The operation of overlaying the metasurface (MS) on the targets is a good solution. A simple chessboard MS structure that can achieve low RCS over a large bandwidth is proposed. Only one unit cell is used to construct the MS. First, the unit cell working in 0.5 and 1-lambda modes is designed to achieve a stable phase difference of 180 degrees for y- and x-polarized waves. Then, the unit cells and rotated ones are used to form a chessboard structure with different distributions. The compared results show that the chessboard MS with 2 x 2 quadrants can facilitate the widest 10 dB RCS reduction band of 111% and the largest RCS reduction. The proposed structure exhibits excellent RCS reduction even when irradiated by y- and x-polarized waves at an oblique incidence of 30 degrees.
