Abstract

Metasurface has attracted much attentions due to its ability of flexible manipulation of electromagnetic wave. However, the metasurface is limited to the single operating band and poor design generality when it is used for radar cross section (RCS) reduction. In this paper, a stacked metasurface design method has been developed to flexibly achieve dual wide band RCS reduction. Two subarrays with polarization conversion characteristic are firstly designed to operate in two wide bands, respectively. Then a low-pass frequency selective surface (FSS) is developed and sandwiched between two metasurface subarrays to achieve a subarray with the dual-band polarization conversion performance. With the arrangement of the dual-band subarray into a 2×2 array in a rotation way according to the polarization cancellation, the resultant metasurface structure has two −10 dB RCS reduction bands covering 6.6-12.7 GHz and 27.8-38.1 GHz. The designed prototype is fabricated and measured. The simulation and measurement results are given to demonstrate the good dual-band RCS reduction performance.
