The invention discloses a wave-absorbing metasurface low-profile wide-angle RCS (
radar cross section) reduction tight
coupling dipole antenna. The array is composed of a
radiation layer, a middle layer, a wave-absorbing metasurface layer and a
metal ground layer. The top layer of the
radiation layer is a
dipole antenna, and the
tail ends of
radiation arms of the
dipole antenna are loaded with
coupling patches through
metal through holes; the middle layer is a
dielectric substrate; the top layer of the wave-absorbing metasurface layer is a pair of symmetrical trident-shaped resistive films loaded with
metal through holes, and the bottom layer of the wave-absorbing metasurface layer is a
dielectric substrate; the metal
ground layer is located at the lowermost layer. According to the invention, the wave-absorbing metasurface is embedded in the tight
coupling dipole array antenna to replace a traditional metal ground, so that a low-profile structure is realized. According to the antenna, within the
frequency band of 7-14 GHz, the wave absorbing efficiency is higher than 75% when electromagnetic
waves are incident at the wide angle of 0-60 degrees, meanwhile, good radiation performance and wide-angle scanning capacity are kept, and the
radar cross section is remarkably reduced. The method can be popularized to the low
radar cross section design of a traditional antenna, and is suitable for radar and
wireless communication systems.
