  • 提出了一种将基于慢波机理的人工表面等离激元(Spoof Surface Plasmon Polaritons, SSPP)吸波器和基于快波机理的极化转换超表面(Polarization Conversion Metasurface, PCM)在空域结构与频域功能上互补结合,实现复合超宽带低雷达散射截面(Radar Cross Section, RCS)超表面的设计方法。该方法首先设计了一种宽带SSPP吸波器和宽带PCM,通过在口径面内划分快慢波区域,分别放置SSPP吸波器和棋盘型PCM子阵,实现SSPP慢波吸波机制与PCM快波相位对消机制的空域融合与频域拼接。同时利用两种超表面分别基于慢波和快波减缩RCS机制的波速差异隔离二者之间的能量交换,实现低互扰拼接。所形成的复合超表面能够在避免遮挡效应、隔离单元耦合的同时有效拓展工作带宽。仿真结果表明,复合超表面在3–25GHz频率范围内均能实现10dB以上的RCS减缩,其中峰值RCS减缩量达35dB。本文所提出的在空域结构与频域功能上结合SSPP与PCM的设计方法,有效结合了慢波吸波损耗与快波相位对消两种法向散射抑制机制,为超宽带、高性能低RCS超表面的工程设计与应用提供了可行的技术思路。

     

    A hybrid metasurface combining spoof surface plasmon polariton (SSPP) absorber based on a slow-wave mechanism and a polarization conversion metasurface (PCM) based on a fast-wave mechanism is proposed for ultra-wideband radar cross-section (RCS) reduction. The design aims to overcome the bandwidth limitation of a single RCS-reduction mechanism and to mitigate the mutual interference between different functional structures in conventional hybrid metasurfaces. First, a broadband SSPP absorber based on a slow-wave dissipation mechanism and a broadband PCM based on a fast-wave phase-cancellation mechanism are designed. The metasurface aperture is then divided into slow-wave and fast-wave regions, where the SSPP absorbers and chessboard-arranged PCM subarrays are respectively integrated. In this manner, the two mechanisms are spatially integrated and their operating bands are complementarily combined in the frequency domain. For the SSPP absorber, incident electromagnetic waves are strongly confined as slow waves and dissipated through dielectric and resistive losses. For the PCM, the incident waves are converted into orthogonal-polarized reflected waves, whose fast-wave scattering is suppressed by phase cancellation. More importantly, the distinct propagation characteristics of the slow and fast waves suppress energy exchange between the two functional regions, thereby reducing mutual interference, shadowing effects, and near-field coupling while preserving their respective RCS-reduction mechanisms. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed hybrid metasurface achieves more than 10 dB RCS reduction over an ultra-wide frequency range of 3–25 GHz, with a maximum reduction of 35 dB. Experimental results further confirm the effectiveness of the proposed design. By combining slow-wave absorption and fast-wave phase cancellation in both the spatial and frequency domains with weak mutual interference, this work provides an effective approach to the design of ultra-wideband and high-performance low-RCS metasurfaces for electromagnetic stealth and electromagnetic compatibility applications.
