Broadbanding of A-sandwich Radome Using Jerusalem Cross Frequency Selective Surface
نویسندگان
چکیده
Enhancement of electromagnetic performance of A-sandwich radome using aperture-type Jerusalem cross frequency selective surface (FSS) is presented. The Jerusalem cross FSS array is embedded in the mid-plane of the core of Asandwich radome to enhance the EM performance parameters over the entire Xband. For modeling the Jerusalem cross FSS embedded radome panel and evaluation of its EM performance parameters, equivalent transmission line method in conjunction with equivalent circuit model is used. A comparative study of Jerusalem cross FSS embedded A-sandwich radome and A-sandwich radome of identical material and thickness (core and skin layers) indicate that the new wall configuration has superior EM performance as compared to the A-sandwich wall alone configuration. The excellent EM performance of Jerusalem cross FSS embedded A-sandwich radome makes it a desirable choice for the design of normal incidence radomes (hemispherical/ cylindrical), near-normal incidence radomes (paraboloidal) and highly streamlined airborne nosecone radomes.

متن کاملNew UWB Shielding with Frequency Selective Surfaces
In this paper a Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) as a UWB electromagnetic shield is introduced. The proposed FSS comprises a quasi-J.C-Jerusalem Cross- and a copper ring, which are located at both sides of a FR4 substrate and can represent a S.E -Shielding Effectiveness- better than 20dB in 90% bandwidth of Ultra Wide Band frequency. This structure is compact and thin. Each cell comprises J.C ...
متن کاملEM Performance Improvement of a Large A-type Sandwich Radome
Large sandwich radomes are widely used for radar antennas because of the desired some characteristics. They are constructed by connecting small panels for the restrictions on manufacture. These connection parts yield undesired scattered waves and generate higher sidelobes. We present a novel method to overcome this problem by optimizing the radome geometric design. The scattering characteristic...

An efficient optimization technique for frequency selective surface (FSS) radome with nonuniform wall thickness is proposed to improve the power transmission efficiency and the boresight error (BSE) of FSS radome simultaneously. The high-frequency method based on the approximate locally planar technique is used to evaluate the transmission performance of FSS radome. An efficient multi-dimension...
