Abstract

Abstract—A theoretical and experimental study of band-stop frequency-selective structures (FSSs) for reducing the scattering properties of linear antenna arrays outside of their operating band is presented. To perform the study, a two-layer FSS based on square loops located in different layers of the dielectric base has been selected. An electrodynamic simulation of the backscattering diagram (BSD) of a linear periodic structure shielded by the FSS has been carried out. An effect of nonsuppression of certain diffraction scattering lobes has been discovered and experimentally confirmed. The discovered effect has been physically explained and measures to eliminate it have been proposed. The results of the electrodynamic simulation of an antenna system consisting of an L-band phased antenna array (PhAA), a two-layer FSS located in front of the PhAA, and an absorbing material are presented.
