Abstract

A novel dual-polarization frequency selective rasorber with one transmission band and two absorbing bands is proposed in this paper. The structure is composed of a lossless frequency selective surface layer and a resistive layer. The resistive layer is a combination of split ring resonators and Jerusalem crosses. The frequency selective surface layer is a combination of grids and square rings. Split ring resonators are used to generate parallel resonances in this paper. When the parallel resonant frequency of the split ring resonators and that of the frequency selective surface layer are the same, a passband is obtained. Split ring resonators, Jerusalem crosses, and lumped resistors are used to create the absorbing bands. When surface current flows through two different paths on the split ring resonator, absorbing bands are obtained on each side of the passband. A frequency selective rasorber prototype is fabricated and measured to validate our design. The results show that the center frequency of the passband is 5.74 GHz, with an insertion loss of 0.25 dB. The lower and higher absorption bandwidths with absorption coefficient higher than 80% range from 1.92 to 3.73 GHz and from 7.41 to 9.34 GHz, respectively, and the reflection band with reflection coefficient less than -10 dB ranges from 1.96 to 9.32 GHz.

Highlights

Frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) are metallic arrays that are periodically arranged in a two-dimensional direction and act as bandstop or bandpass filters in three-dimensional space [1], [2]
The results show that the frequency selective rasorber (FSR) has a wide operating bandwidth (|S11| < −10dB), but it is sensitive to both TE and TM polarizations
The prototype contains a total of 15 × 15 resistive layer units and 20 × 20 FSS units, which means that the number of FSR units is 5 × 5

Summary

Introduction

Frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) are metallic arrays that are periodically arranged in a two-dimensional direction and act as bandstop or bandpass filters in three-dimensional space [1], [2]. Different FSS structures exhibit different transmission and reflection responses, which are essential for a wide range of applications in antennas, radomes and electromagnetic (EM) shields [3]–[5]. FSSs can be loaded on the radomes to ensure low transmission loss in the operating band while reflecting signals outside the bands for reducing the out-of-band monostatic radar cross section (RCS) of the antenna. Absorbers have been widely used in various applications. They can reduce the reflection EM waves by absorption [7]–[9].
