Design of an Invisible Radome by Frequency Selective Surfaces Loaded with Lumped Resistors

A novel radome is presented, which is transparent at operating frequency and is invisible out of band. In order to prevent reflection of the incoming power, frequency selective surfaces loaded with the lumped resistors are employed. To obtain the pass-band properties in lower frequencies, the convoluted slots are utilized. By comparison with the results obtained both by full wave analysis and by the measurements, the performance of the radome is verified. It performs with high transmission characteristics in band, and broadband absorbing properties out of band simultaneously. The oblique incidences are also investigated for both transmission coefficients and reflection ones.
