Abstract

The application of meshed microstrip patch antennas to (RCS) reduction is analyzed. The effect of mesh line-width, mesh line-spacing, and meshing style on the resonant frequency and gain of the antenna is studied. A meshed microstrip patch antenna with low RCS is designed. The gain suffers by 0.6 dBi, and the mean RCS over 2–10 GHz is 4-dBsm lower compared to the standard patch antenna with the same resonant frequency. The maximum RCS reduction is 10.6 dB at 3.2 GHz. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 46: 117–120, 2005; Published online in Wiley InterScience (www.interscience.wiley.com).
