Ultra-wide band frequency selective surface design for radar cross section reduction

Frequency selective surfaces (FSS) are periodic structures that allow electromagnetic waves arriving on the surface to show transmission, reflection or absorption properties in the determined frequency range. In this study, radar cross section with the new UGB FSY was obtained by combining ring and dashed cross shapes with ultra-wide band gap, covering more than one frequency band (C-band (4-8 GHz) and X-band (8-12 GHz)). In the first part of the study, the ring and dashed crosshairs were analyzed one by one. As a result of the analysis, the bandwidth has been increased by -10 dB gain with the new FSY obtained by combining the two most efficient structures. FSY designs with a good attenuation level that can be used in ultra-wideband (UGB) radar systems have been carried out. Simulation and analysis of the design were carried out with the CST Studio Suite 3D electromagnetic simulation program.
