This absorber consists of a periodic arrangement of dielectric substrates sandwiched with an MIK fractal loop structure electric resonator and a resistive film. The finite element method is used to simulate and analyze the absorption of the MA. Compared with the MA-backed copper film, the designed MA-backed resistive film exhibits an absorption of 90% at a frequency region of 2 GHz-20 GHz. The power loss density distribution of the MA is further illustrated to explain the mechanism of the proposed MA. Simulated absorptions at different incidence cases indicate that this absorber is polarization-insensitive and wide-angled. Finally, further simulated results indicate that the surface resistance of the resistive film and the dielectric constant of the substrate can affect the absorbing property of the MA. This absorber may be used in many military fields.展开更多

Cross-slot units are designed on the iterative metallic meshes, which is composed of two same square metallic meshes with a misplaced overlap.

In the millimeter wave band, a transmittance of-0.74 d B at the resonance frequency of 39.4 GHz is obtained. Moreover, theoretical simulations of the ITFSS diffractive characteristics and transmittance response are also investigated in detail. This ITFSS may be an efficient way to achieve the metamaterial millimeter wave/infrared functional film.展开更多

The novel element is designed by loading the rectangular microstrip element with L-shaped conducting patch at its two ends. Based on the spectral-domain method, the frequency response including angle effect and polarization effect of the frequency selective surface （FSS） structure are analysed and the plots of the frequency versus transmission coefficient are obtained. As a result of the numerical analysis, it is shown that if the source polarization is changed, polarization-independence of previous FSS design can be achieved only for normal incidence, which limits most FSS applications. But in our proposed structure, the better polarization-independency for arbitrary incident angle can be achieved. It is observed that the simulated result comes very close to the experimental result.展开更多

Based on the spectral-domain method, the frequency responses of the FSS structure with two shorts per slot ring are analysed for both the horizontal and the vertical polarizations at the normal incidence. It is demonstrated that the presence of the metal shorts does not affect the resonant frequency of the horizontally polarized wave but doubles the resonant frequency of the vertically polarized wave. Therefore based on the analysis of the novel transmission properties, a new approach to adjusting the resonant frequency by rotating the FSS screen 90° is presented in this paper.展开更多

To solve this problem, an approach of combining elements in different period to build a hybrid array is presented. The results of series of numerical simulation show that multi-periodicity combined element FSS, which are designed using this approach, usually have much weaker grating lobes than the traditional FSS. Furthermore, their frequency response can be well predicted through the properties of their member element FSS. A prediction method for estimating the degree of expected grating lobe energy loss in designing multi-band FSS using this approach is provided.展开更多

The existing absorber is effectively simplified by withdrawing half of the loaded resistors; a more compact one is obtained when lumped capacitors are introduced. Building on this, a varactor-tunable absorber with a proper bias network is proposed. Numerical simulations of one tunable absorber with 1.6 mm in thickness show that a wide tuning range from 3.05 GHz to 1.96 GHz is achieved by changing the capacitance of the loaded varactor from 0.5 pF to 5.0 pF. An experiment is carried out using a rectangular waveguide measurement setup and excellent agreement between the simulated and measured results is demonstrated.展开更多

In this paper, the thickness, the dielectric constant, the element graph and the arrangement periodicity of an FSS medium are investigated by Genetic Algorithm （GA） when an electromagnetic wave is incident on the FSS at a wide angle, and an optimized FSS structure and transmission characteristics are obtained. The results show that the optimized structure has better stability in relation to incident angle of electromagnetic wave and preserves the stability of centre frequency even at an incident angle as large as 80°, thereby laying the foundation for the application of FSS to curved surfaces at wide angles.展开更多

Firstly, we briefly introduce the disadvantages of two types of FSS filter： waveguide-array FSS and printed FSS, which are commonly employed in the millimeter and sub-millimeter wave band. In order to meet the insertion loss requirement and specified spectral transmission response, we adopt a filter composed of two closely spaced freestanding metal plates, which con- tains an array of resonant ring slot elements. Computer simulation technology （CST） is used to optimize the structural dimensions of the resonant unit and interlayer separation. Numerical results show that these FSS filters exhibit trans- mission loss of less than 0.4 dB and separation between adjacent channels of more than 20 dB. Simulated transmission coefficients are in close agreement with the required specification, and even exceed the performance specifications.展开更多

They were prepared by computer engraving technology and tested in the anechoic chamber by using the free-space method. The test results of representative samples show that the resonance frequencies and the resonance peak or valley values in two polarization modes are not completely identical but the differentials are small, indicating that the influences of polarization modes are not significant. The transmission coefficient curves of Y-shaped and Y-ring-shaped FSFs with various size parameters are obviously different. For instance, as the unit size D increases by 4.0 mm, the resonance frequencies of patch FSFs decrease by 1.92 GHz and the resonance valleys increase by 12.32 dB. Different size parameters have dissimilar effects on the transmission characteristics and the corresponding influence laws should be analyzed concretely. The work could provide reference for the structural design and characteristics analysis of other FSFs.展开更多

Mechanism analyses were also carried out. Results show that the air gaps have a distinct influence on the transmission properties. Resonant frequency of the structure would increase rapidly when the air gap appears. After the gap gets larger to a specific value, generally 1/5 wavelength corresponding to the resonant frequency, the transmission properties would change periodically with the gap thickness. The change of transmission properties in one period has a close relationship with the dielectric thickness. These results provide a new method for designing a bandpass radome of large incidence angle and low loss with the concept of stealth shield radome.展开更多

This FSS is based on the random distribution method, so it can be called random surface. In this paper, the stacked patches serving as periodic elements are employed for RCS reduction. Previous work has demonstrated the efficiency by utilizing the microstrip patches, especially for the reflectarray. First, the relevant theory of the method is described. Then a sample of a three-layer variable-sized stacked patch random surface with a dimension of 260 mm x 260 mm is simulated, fabricated, and measured in order to demonstrate the validity of the proposed design. For the normal incidence, the 8-dB RCS reduction can be achieved both by the simulation and the measurement in 8 GHz-13 GHz. The oblique incidence of 30° is also investigated, in which the 7-dB RCS reduction can be obtained in a frequency range of 8 GHz-14 GHz.展开更多

This absorber consists of a periodic arrangement of dielectric substrates sandwiched with an MIK fractal loop structure electric resonator and a resistive film. The finite element method is used to simulate and analyze the absorption of the MA. Compared with the MA-backed copper film, the designed MA-backed resistive film exhibits an absorption of 90% at a frequency region of 2 GHz-20 GHz. The power loss density distribution of the MA is further illustrated to explain the mechanism of the proposed MA. Simulated absorptions at different incidence cases indicate that this absorber is polarization-insensitive and wide-angled. Finally, further simulated results indicate that the surface resistance of the resistive film and the dielectric constant of the substrate can affect the absorbing property of the MA. This absorber may be used in many military fields.

文摘Asymmetrical Y-shaped and Y-ring-shaped frequency selective fabrics(FSFs) were proposed in this paper. They were prepared by computer engraving technology and tested in the anechoic chamber by using the free-space method. The test results of representative samples show that the resonance frequencies and the resonance peak or valley values in two polarization modes are not completely identical but the differentials are small, indicating that the influences of polarization modes are not significant. The transmission coefficient curves of Y-shaped and Y-ring-shaped FSFs with various size parameters are obviously different. For instance, as the unit size D increases by 4.0 mm, the resonance frequencies of patch FSFs decrease by 1.92 GHz and the resonance valleys increase by 12.32 dB. Different size parameters have dissimilar effects on the transmission characteristics and the corresponding influence laws should be analyzed concretely. The work could provide reference for the structural design and characteristics analysis of other FSFs.

文摘The study of Frequency Selective Surface(FSS)by Direct ink writing(DIW)has attracted much attention due to the convenience and effectiveness of 3D printing technology.However,the limited printing precision of DIW has heavily restricted its applications as the electromagnetic performance is highly sensitive to it,especially the precision at the microscale.Herein,the ultra-high printing precision of FSS was achieved through DIW by the uniformly dispersed graphene sheets to deeply modify the rheological behavior and the steric hindrance effect.Thus,the highly precision of the printed filament width as thin as67μm with a space of only 42μm were achieved,which is difficult for conventional DIW,and no structural distortion is found after 3D printing,no matter it was 2D printed on a flat surface or the sharply skewed hook face,or even 3D printed to architectural structures.According to the highly improved precision,the electromagnetic performance matching between the designed model and the printed physical FSS device was perfectly achieved,reducing the center frequency error less than 0.3 GHz,and the transmission coefficient error less than 0.046.Our work promises an effective and easy preparation of high-quality FSS from the aid of graphene.

文摘The transmission properties of compound frequency selective structures with dielectric slab and air gaps were investigated by computation and experimentation. Mechanism analyses were also carried out. Results show that the air gaps have a distinct influence on the transmission properties. Resonant frequency of the structure would increase rapidly when the air gap appears. After the gap gets larger to a specific value, generally 1/5 wavelength corresponding to the resonant frequency, the transmission properties would change periodically with the gap thickness. The change of transmission properties in one period has a close relationship with the dielectric thickness. These results provide a new method for designing a bandpass radome of large incidence angle and low loss with the concept of stealth shield radome.
文摘A novel frequency selective surface （FSS） for reducing radar cross section （RCS） is proposed in this paper. This FSS is based on the random distribution method, so it can be called random surface. In this paper, the stacked patches serving as periodic elements are employed for RCS reduction. Previous work has demonstrated the efficiency by utilizing the microstrip patches, especially for the reflectarray. First, the relevant theory of the method is described. Then a sample of a three-layer variable-sized stacked patch random surface with a dimension of 260 mm x 260 mm is simulated, fabricated, and measured in order to demonstrate the validity of the proposed design. For the normal incidence, the 8-dB RCS reduction can be achieved both by the simulation and the measurement in 8 GHz-13 GHz. The oblique incidence of 30° is also investigated, in which the 7-dB RCS reduction can be obtained in a frequency range of 8 GHz-14 GHz.

文摘That whether unidirectional tension changes the influence of incident angle on FSS's(frequency selective surface) electromagnetic(EM) property and whether incident angle changes the effect of unidirectional intension on FSS's EM property is researched.The pattern and magnitude of these changes are revealed.Firstly,the analyses for the mechanism of unidirectional tension's influence and the mechanism of the coupling between the influences of unidirectional tension and incident angle are conducted.Then,according to the mechanism of these influences,Mechanics-Electromagnetics co-analysis is conducted based on mechanics finite element method and electromagnetics finite element method.The frequency responses of the FSS which is under different unidirectional tensions and illuminated by EM wave incident at different angles are gained.The concept"unidirectional tensile sensitivity of FSS"is put forward along with two unidirectional tensile sensitivity factors.By using angular sensitivity-factor and unidirectional tensile sensitivity-factor,the influences of unidirectional tension and incident angle,which are coupled with each other,are expatiated respectively.Research results show that these influences have two sides.Meanwhile,basing on Mode Matching Method and according to the results of numerical investigation,one principle for the layout of FSS with apertures is gained.Several suggestions for further research are given.
