Abstract

Abstract

A wideband patch antenna array with low Radar Cross Section (RCS) based on metasurface is proposed. The 2×4 antenna array is composed of two kinds of slotted patch antennas working at different frequency band, realizing the miniaturization and bandwidth broadening of the antenna array. Then, based on the phase cancellation principle, low RCS performance is realized owing to the metasurface consisting of two Artificial Magnetic Conductor (AMC) structures in chessboard configuration. Simulated and measured results show that the working frequency band is expanded from 5.7~6.2 GHz to 5.6~6.6 GHz and radiation performance remains well with metasurface added to. Meanwhile the antenna monostatic RCS is reduced significantly. 3 dB RCS reduction is achieved over the range of 5.3 GHz to 7.0 GHz and the peak reduction is up to 31 dB under X polarization. While the 3 dB RCS reduction range is 5.8~6.9 GHz under Y polarization.
