ITO Meta-Absorber-Loaded Conformal UHF Monopole Antenna with Wide-Angel RCS Reduction.
In this paper, a conformal UHF antenna with a wide-angle radar cross section (RCS) reduction capability is proposed. The radiator of the design is a planar monopole antenna. Since the large physical size of the antenna in UHF band can generate a scatter beam with a large RCS in the high operating frequency of radars and other sensing applications, i.e., the X band, two types of ITO (Indium Tin Oxide) meta-absorber are proposed and loaded onto the monopole antenna to suppress the scatter. For the incident beam around the direction orthogonal to the radiator plane, the periodical meta-absorber can realize around a 20 dB RCS reduction in the X band. The incident wave around the parallel direction of the radiator is absorbed by the taper meta-absorber, which can greatly suppress the surface and then reduce the RCS in the horizontal plane. The combined effect means the antenna can achieve a wide-angle RCS reduction. It should be noted that the antenna can still produce a high-efficiency omnidirectional beam after the lossy meta-absorber is loaded. In our opinion, the advantages of the proposed antenna design, including good radiation performance in UHF band and high RCS reduction in X band, make it a suitable candidate for airborne and drone applications.
期刊介绍：
Materials (ISSN 1996-1944) is an open access journal of related scientific research and technology development. It publishes reviews, regular research papers (articles) and short communications. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced. Materials provides a forum for publishing papers which advance the in-depth understanding of the relationship between the structure, the properties or the functions of all kinds of materials. Chemical syntheses, chemical structures and mechanical, chemical, electronic, magnetic and optical properties and various applications will be considered.
