Abstract :
The authors present the results of the numerical solution to the problem of periodic metallic strips on a dielectric sheet above the ground plane. The present method is an extension of J. H. Richmond´s (IEEE Trans. Antennas Propagat., vol.AP-28, p.883-7, 1980) approach. Calculation results agree well with experimental results. The low backscattered surface considered can be used to reduce the radar cross section of metallic objects.<>
