Abstract

The frequency selective surface (FSS) is designed to improve the wide-band stealth performance of radar absorbing materials (RAM) at the frequency range from 2GHz to 12GHz. The FSS element structure is designed for thin RAM coating, and the electromagnetic wave reflectivity performance of RAM containing FSS is analyzed by using the numerical simulation. The influence of FSS design parameters on the reflectivity of RAM is researched, and the FSS design parameters include the element geometry parameter, the length of the array periods, and the permittivity of substrate material. The research results show that the three absorbing wide-bands can appear and that the reflectivity is lower than -10dB, so the wide-band stealth performance of RAM containing FSS can be improved at the frequency range from 2GHz to 12GHz.
