Band-Pass FSS Radome with Sharp Band Edge Characteristics Based on Substrate Integrated Waveguide Technology

V Krushna Kanth, S. Raghavan

Abstract

In this paper, a new design technique to FSS band-pass radome with sharp band edge characteristics is reported based on substrate integrated waveguide technology (SIW). The radome is integrated with planar slotted waveguide antenna to study its effect on the radar cross-section (RCS) performance. The proposed radome significantly improves the radar cross-section (RCS) properties of the antenna at the operating frequency. Furthermore, the proposed radome wall shows very good transmission efficiency (90%) characteristics in the x-band region from 8.3 to 10.8 GHz with a very good insertion loss better than 0.2 dB. The fabricated prototype along with experimental verification proves the validity of the proposed structure for radome application.
