Abstract: |
A metamaterial absorber with miniaturization, ultra thinness, high absorptivity rate and no surface ullag
e layer is designed based on cross fractal structure. The absorber is composed o
f two metallic layers separated by a lossy dielectric spacer. The top layer consists of etched cross fractal patch set in a periodic pattern and the bottom one is a solid metal. By optimizing the geometric
parameters of the structure,its unit size is only 0.13λ, the thicknes
s is about 0.0093λ and the absorption can exhibt 99.6%. When it is loaded on a
coventional microstrip antenna, a novel metamaterial antenna is obtained. The simulation
and measured results demonstate that compared with conventional antenna, the ra
dar cross section (RCS) of the novel antenna in boresight direction is reduced by 3 dB, and the most reduction vaule exceeds 13.5 dB,the monstatic RCS reduction is over 3 dB from -18° to +18°, while the radiation performance
is kept, which proves that the absorber has an excellent absorptivity and can
be applied to microstrip antennas to achieve in-band stealth. |
