RCS reduction with a Dual Polarized Self-Complementary Connected Array Antenna.

Résumé

In this paper, a wideband dual polarized self-complementary connected array antenna with low radar cross section (RCS) under normal and oblique incidence is presented. First, an analytical model of the multilayer structure is proposed in order to obtain a fast and reliable predimensioning tool providing an optimized design of the infinite array. The accuracy of this model is demonstrated thanks to comparative simulations with a full wave analysis software. RCS reduction compared to a perfectly conducting flat plate of at least 10 dB has been obtained over an ultrawide bandwidth of nearly 7:1 at normal incidence and 5:1 (3.8 to 19 GHz) at 60° in both polarizations. These performances are confirmed by finite element tearing and interconnecting computations of finite arrays of different sizes. Finally, the realization of a 28x28 cell prototype and measurement results are detailed.
