Abstract

The faceted surface is used in mesh reflectors to reflect electromagnetic (EM) signals. The matching design method of surface geometry is developed by considering EM performance. The geometrical model of faceted surface is established to avoid the facets overlap by using the force density method, and the far-field scattered by mesh reflector is derived to reveal the relationship between the faceted surface and EM performance. To improve the computational efficiency, the double integral of the far-field is derived in a closed-form expression, and a refinement procedure of EM grids for facets is proposed to homogenize the grids. The electromechanical coupling optimization model is established, and the comparative analysis is carried out, respectively. Numerical results show that the proposed method can obtain the higher gain with a larger surface error of the mesh reflector by adjusting the distribution of the surface faceted error.
