A Frequency Selective Rasorber by Engineering Transverse Standing Waves of Surface Current

The low RCS level out of operating band is urgent for radome while keeping its communication window.To solve this problem, we propose a frequency selective rasorber (FSR) that Ship Model Kit exhibits a pass-band between two absorption bands in this paper.The surface currents on a finite metallic wire media is analyzed firstly to elaborate transverse standing waves mechanism.

High-efficiency and broadband absorption can be achieved by loading lumped resistors at high amplitude of standing waves.By delicately engineering the transverse standing waves versus frequency, a transparent window can be opened within an absorption wideband and it can be modulated by adjusting structural parameters.The transparent Nails window centered around 10.

0 GHz in the absorption band from 5.8 GHz to 18.0 GHz.

Prototypes were fabricated and measured.Both the simulated and measured results show that for both x- and y-polarized waves, insertion loss of the transparent window at 9.85 GHz is below 0.

2 dB while the absorption is above 90% in the two sidebands of 5.8-7.8 GHz and 11.

8-18.0 GHz.Furthermore, the rasorber can also work well under oblique incidence angles up to 45 degrees.

This work may find wide applications in electromagnetic compatibility, stealthy radomes, etc.
