摘要: 提出了一种利用极化转换超表面(PCM)来缩减雷达散射截面(RCS)并保持缝隙天线阵列辐射特性的新型天线，在不影响天线性能的情况下实现了天线的宽带RCS缩减。该PCM由45°倾斜的开槽矩形贴片周期排布构成，它被放置在缝隙阵列天线的上表面，起到RCS缩减的功能。分析了RCS缩减的特点和原理，仿真和实验结果表明，带有PCM的缝隙天线阵在x极化和y极化波冲击下，单站RCS缩减带宽为8.0～21.8 GHz。同时天线的辐射特性在阻抗带宽、增益和辐射模式等方面都能保持良好性能。Abstract: A new type of unit that uses polarization conversion metasurfaces (PCM) to reduce the radar cross section (RCS) and maintain the radiation characteristics of slot antenna arrays is proposed. The PCM is composed of slotted rectangular patches arranged obliquely at 45°, which are placed on the upper surface of the slot array antenna. This paper analyzes the characteristics and principles of RCS reduction. Simulation and experimental results show that the single-site RCS reduction bandwidth of the slot antenna array with PCM is 8.0～21.8 GHz under the impact of x-polarized and y-polarized waves. At the same time, the antenna’s radiation characteristics are well maintained in terms of impedance bandwidth, gain, and radiation pattern.
