“…Due to the characteristics of suppressing surface waves and reflecting with no phase reversal at a forbidden frequency, 8 dB in-band RCSR is reached. Recent researches indicated that metamaterials and matesurfaces come into sight with some superior performance [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Besides RCSR, metasurfaces have also been used for specific absorption rate reduction [12].…”

“…Three circular rings-shaped resonating elements with different radius were combined to gain three resonant frequencies absorption in [17]. The authors [18,19] investigated that resistively printed dual-loops and resistor-loaded conducting loops can extend the bandwidth and absorption level of the metamaterial absorber. An equivalent circuit model is also proposed to explain how the resonances can be produced and simple design guidelines have been developed for determination of parameter values.…”

A novel double‐layer miniaturised‐element metasurface is investigated to obtain the in‐band and out‐of‐band radar cross‐section reduction (RCSR) of a patch antenna. The modified traditional square‐rings, with centre edges bent inward into hollow crosses and eight resistors welt on each side, are adopted to form the first‐layer metasurface. It is for the out‐of‐band incident wave absorption. The second layer consists of four V‐shaped polygonal metallic patches and four resistors. Each resistor connects two adjacent V‐shaped patches together. The second layer is for in‐band (2.76–2.86 GHz) RCSR of the antenna. Simulated and measured results showed that the RCSR of the new antenna with proposed metasurface has been dramatically accomplished from 2.0 to 15.5 GHz. It is worth mentioning that the obtained RCSR at 2.8 GHz is as much as 14.6 dB and the maximum RCSR at 10 GHz is 30.1 dB. The monostatic radar cross section (RCS) of the proposed antenna is significantly reduced over a wide angular domain at the same time. Since the metasurface has little effects on the radiation performance of the antenna, this method can be used to achieve antenna RCSR at broadband and over wide angular range.
