Open publisher page 5 citations

Abstract

In this paper, a reconfigurable frequency selective surface (FSS) using varactor diodes is presented for low RCS radome application. The FSS is composed of three-layered metallic structures. The varactors are biased with a middle layer bias wire connected to via holes and wire grids on front layer. The back layer is a wideband bandstop structure for out-of-band RCS reduction. The FSS radome without back layer is fabricated and test. Full-wave simulations show the designed FSS radome with back layer has a tuning range from 2.3 GHz to 3.5 GHz with an transmission lower than −10 dB within the X and Ku band.
