极化相关透光吸波超构表面设计与隐身研究

      Design of a polarization-sensitively and optically transparent absorbing metasurface and its stealth performance

      • 摘要: 为满足装备天线罩的电磁隐身需求,提出了一种极化相关透光吸波超构表面。超构表面单元由两层蚀刻有不同铟锡氧化物(indium tin oxide, ITO)图案的聚对苯二甲酸乙二醇酯(polyethylene terephthalate, PET)夹一层聚氯乙烯 (polyvinyl chloride, PVC)的“三明治”结构组成,通过采用不对称的矩形ITO图案以及透明材料使得超构表面单元具有极化相关和光学透明的特性。仿真结果表明,超构表面单元在24.5~30.5 GHz范围内可以实现对x极化波90%以上的吸波率,但对y极化波的吸波率小于0.5。在此基础上进行组阵,并对超构表面阵列和同等面积金属板进行了垂直和斜入射单站雷达散射截面(radar cross-section, RCS)仿真。结果表明:x极化波在24.5~30.5 GHz范围内的RCS减缩效果良好,垂直和斜30°入射时峰值减缩量均达到了30 dB;y极化波在35~40 GHz范围内的RCS减缩效果也良好,垂直和斜30°入射时峰值减缩量均达到了20 dB。该超构表面具有宽带吸波、极化相关以及光学透明的特点,为电磁隐身装备提供了一种新的设计思路。

         

        Abstract: To fulfill the equipment of electromagnetic stealth and achieve broadband absorption, a polarization-sensitively and optically transparent absorbing metasurface is proposed in this paper. The metasurface features a sandwich structure comprising two polyethylene terephthalate (PET) layers patterned with distinct indium tin oxide (ITO) geometries, which encapsulates a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) interlayer. The metasurface exhibits polarization-sensitive absorption and excellent optical transparency due to the asymmetric rectangular ITO patterns combined with transparent materials. Simulated results demonstrate that the metasurface achieves an absorption rate exceeding 90% for x-polarized waves within 24.5-30.5 GHz, while maintaining absorption below 0.5 for y-polarized waves in the same band. A 6×6 planar array is subsequently constructed. Monostatic radar cross-section (RCS) of the metasurface and a metal plate with same size is simulated under normal and oblique incidences. The results reveal significant RCS reduction for x-polarized waves in 24.5-30.5GHz, with peak reductions of 30 dB (normal and oblique angle of 30°). For y-polarized incidences, the pronounced RCS reduction occurred in 35-40 GHz, reaching maximum reductions of 20 dB (normal and oblique angle of 30°). This metasurface exhibits broadband and polarization-sensitive absorption with optical transparency. It thereby offers a novel material for advanced camouflage applications.
