Design of Multiband Metasurface Radome for Leading Wing Edge of Aircraft
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research M, Vol. 130, 37-48, 2024
Abstract
A novel metamaterial-element based frequency selective surface (FSS) is proposed in this paper for multiband radome for airborne application, which exhibits angular stability and polarization independence up to incidence angle, 60˚. The proposed metasurface radome consists of a combination of different patch-type elements in two cascaded layers, forming an electrically thin design suitable for aerospace applications. It operates in the frequency bands, S- (3.3 GHz), C- (4.8 GHz) and X- (9.1 GHz) with high transmission efficiency and good isolation between bands (< -20 dB). An equivalent circuit model of the proposed design is derived and validated with the simulated (based on HFSS) and measured results. Further, a multilayered radome wall configuration is designed using proposed metamaterial-element based FSS that exhibits transmission bandwidths, 220 MHz, 1 GHz, and 1.3 GHz corresponding to S-, C-, and X-bands, respectively w.r.t. -1 dB insertion loss. The structural analysis of multilayered radome wall configuration confirms its suitability for shared aperture antenna integrated to leading wing structure of aircraft.
