Abstract
A broadband metasurface antenna array with wideband low Radar Cross Section (RCS) is proposed. Two kind metasurface antennas with nearly the same radiation performance are designed and fabricated in a chessboard configuration. For x -polarized incidence, the reflected energy from the two elements is dissipated based on destructive phase difference. For y -polarized incidence, the incident energy is absorbed by matching load. By this means, inherent wideband low RCS is achieved for both polarizations without redundant structures. The proposed antenna array is fabricated and measured. Simulated and measured results show that the working frequency band is 6.0～8.5 GHz. Meanwhile under x polarization the antenna monostatic RCS is reduced significantly 6 dB RCS reduction is achieved over the range of 6.2～10.5 GHz and the peak reduction is up to 21.07 dB. Under y polarization the antenna monostatic RCS is reduced over 3 dB RCS reduction in bandwidth. Both measured and simulated results verify the proposed antenna array is characterized with wideband low-RCS without degrading the radiation performance.
