Multi-layer Integrated Frequency Selective Surfacesfor Planar and Conformal Cylindrical Phased Arrays
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this contribution, we present an efficient approach for the design of multi-layer planar and cylindrical arrays with integrated Frequency Selective Surfaces (FSS’s). The design of such arrays responds to the more and more demanding requirements on modern array antennas in terms of structural integration and reduced Radar Cross Section (RCS). The proposed approach is based on an Integral Equation Multi-mode Equivalent Network formulation and the Unit Cell approach. The value of the results presented is in that, due to the modularity of this formulation, dielectric radomes and frequency selective screens in front of the array, as well as additional junctions and waveguide discontinuities, can be easily included in the analysis.

Nonuniform Phased Sampling method is proposed to phase-only synthesize the power pattern of both linear and planar antenna arrays. This method modifies the conventional sampling method which is used for amplitude-phase synthesis. This method is based on assigning suitable phases to the sampling points of radiation pattern in order to reach desired amplitude of currents. Some examples are given ...

The pattern of each element in conformal array has a different direction for the curvature of conformal carrier, which results in polarization diversity of conformal array antenna. Polarization parameters of incident signals are considered in snapshot data model in order to describe the polarization diversity of conformal array antenna. It is required that the polarization parameters and direct...
