Design of Tapered Periodic Meta-Surfaces for Suppressing Edge Electromagnetic Scattering

In this paper, a novel approach for designing tapered periodic meta-surfaces (TPMS) is proposed for suppressing electromagnetic scattering from a trailing edge of a square metallic plate with a given thickness. The TPMS is realized by periodic square metallic patches with tapered dimensions at the direction perpendicular to the considered edge but keeping its period unchanged. Based on the geometric phase interaction, the mechanism of suppressing electromagnetic scattering is analyzed. The lossy material is not required in this design, so it doesn’t generate thermal energy and benefits infrared stealth of military objects. The backscattering properties from the trailing edge with the proposed TPMS loading are analyzed and compared with that of original trailing edge. It is observed that wide angular trailing edge scattering suppressing can be obtained and the average value of mono-static radar cross section (RCS) reduction is 10 dB for L-band, S-band and C-band. Finally, the bi-static RCS properties and energy distribution of the proposed structure are also proposed to explain the mechanism of the electromagnetic scattering suppression of the trailing edge employed with the TPMS.
