Abstract

A frequency selective radome is presented, acting as a pass band filter at a given frequency band, while behaving as an absorber out of the operating band. The reflection band of the FSS filter is used as the ground plane of a outer wideband absorber based on resistive high-impedance surfaces. The absorber, which reduces the signature of the antenna system illuminated by out of band signals, comprises a resistive FSS designed to minimize losses within the transmitting band of the radome. The composite structure is thoroughly analyzed by an efficient equivalent circuit approach and by full-wave numerical simulations.
