摘要:On the basis of combining the two concepts of digital coding metasurface and metasurface antenna, low radar cross-section (RCS) coding metasurface antenna array with dynamic scattering performances is presented in this paper. Extending scattering factor theory to coding metasurface antenna, by controlling the states of PIN diodes randomly, the scattering performances of coding metasurface antenna array can be tuned dynamically without degrading its radiation property. Based on phase cancellation principle, a 8 × 8 antenna array was finally simulated and fabricated. By comparing several different layouts, taking checkerboard layout, new chessboard layout, and “0101” square ring nested layout as examples, both monostatic and bistatic RCS of the antenna mentioned above can be reduced 10 dB or more in the frequency range of 9–10.5 GHz under the illumination of x-polarized incident wave. The measured data are consistent with the simulation data, which proves the effectiveness of the proposed method.
