Abstract

Abstract

A coding metasurface is designed based on hybrid Array pattern synthesis (APS) and Particle swarm optimization (PSO) method for ultra-wideband low-detectable application. The metasurface is composed of Electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) structures of two Minkowski fractal elements with reflection phase difference of 180° (±37°) over a wide frequency range. Two different types of EBG unit cell printed on a thin grounded dielectric substrate produce reflection phase difference of about 180 degrees over a wide frequency range. Ultra-wideband Radar cross section (RCS) reduction results from the phase cancellation between two local waves produced by these two unit cells. The diffuse scattering of EM waves is caused by the optimization of phase distribution, leading to a low monostatic and bistatic RCS simultaneously. The proposed metasurface can achieve 10 dB monostatic and bistatic RCS reduction in a wide frequency band from 5.8 to 18.0 GHz with a ratio bandwidth (f_H/f_L) of 3.10:1 under normal incidence for both polarizations. The theoretical analysis, simulation and experiment results are in good agreement and validate the proposed metasurface can achieve ultra-wideband RCS reduction and diffuse scattering.
