Abstract :
In this study, planar surface approach and cylindrical layer approach were investigated to reduce the monostatic RCS of NACA0025 airfoil. Although the planar-surface approach is simple, it could not control both polarizations, and was only effective on one polarization. However, the cylindrical layer approach could control both polarizations and was more effective in controlling the absorbing performance for the wave polarizations.
