一种性能稳定的新Y形单元厚屏频率选择表面

厚屏频率选择表面(FSS) 能克服双层或多层薄屏FSS级联引起的结构复杂和中心频率透过率容易降低的不利影响, 并且在拓展FSS带宽方面具有优势, 这使其在曲面隐身雷达天线罩应用方面有潜在的价值. 但是, 当电磁波以大范围角度入射时, 中心频率可能会随入射角度的变化而漂移, 而且在大角度入射时不易实现极化稳定性. 本文针对此问题, 设计了一种新Y形单元厚屏FSS, 利用模式匹配法对此结构进行分析计算, 并研究TE, TM波入射时角度变化及大角度入射时极化变化对通带带宽、 中心频率及其透过率的影响. 仿真实验结果表明: 新Y形单元厚屏FSS的中心频率在TE, TM波入射时均能实现角度稳定性和大角度入射时的极化稳定性. 这为FSS在曲面隐身雷达天线罩上的应用提供了一种借鉴.

A novel Y element thick-screen frequency selective surfaces with stable performance

Thick frequency selective surface has potential applications in the stealth curved streamlined radomes because it has advantages in broadening bandwidth and overcoming multi-layer FSS shortcoming of complex structure and low transmittance of central frequency due to the cascade. However, there are a drift of central frequency in a wide range of incident angle and an unsteadiness of polarization at big incident angle. To solve the problem, in this paper we provide a novel Y element thick FSS. The structure is analyzed using mode matching method. The bandwidth, the central frequency and its transmittance of the structure are investigated when some parameters including the incidence angle of TE and TM waves and the polarization at big incident angle are changed. The novel Y element thick FSS has better transmission properties with polarization independence and incident angle independence. The novel structure provides a valuable reference for the application in stealth curved streamlined radomes.
