Abstract
Frequency-selective-rasorber (FSR) radomes have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in transmitting and absorbing electromagnetic waves. However, with an increase in aircraft flight speeds, FSR radomes struggle to withstand the high-temperature environments generated during flights. Meanwhile, traditional high-temperature frequency-selective-surface (FSS) radomes will fail in stealth against multi-base station radar detection systems. To address these challenges, this paper presents the innovative development of a high-temperature resistant integrated casting quartz fiber matrix. A topological pattern and slit square ring pattern were integrated using an enhanced genetic algorithm, resulting in a transmittance above 70 % within the range of 1.67–2.19 GHz at a thickness of 4.6 mm; its absorptivity within the range of 9.25–18 GHz exceeded 90 %. Notably, the absorption bandwidth of 11 GHz (>80 %) and the passband bandwidth of 2.38 GHz (>50 %) at 700 °C were achieved, leading to the development of a thin FSR that integrates high-temperature resistance, absorption, and transmission. Consequently, this study creates avenues for the integration of military communication and stealth technology, presenting a promising application prospect for the development of new stealth radomes.
期刊介绍:
The past few decades have seen outstanding advances in the use of composite materials in structural applications. There can be little doubt that, within engineering circles, composites have revolutionised traditional design concepts and made possible an unparalleled range of new and exciting possibilities as viable materials for construction. Composite Structures, an International Journal, disseminates knowledge between users, manufacturers, designers and researchers involved in structures or structural components manufactured using composite materials.
The journal publishes papers which contribute to knowledge in the use of composite materials in engineering structures. Papers deal with design, research and development studies, experimental investigations, theoretical analysis and fabrication techniques relevant to the application of composites in load-bearing components for assemblies, ranging from individual components such as plates and shells to complete composite structures.
