Abstract

A novel combinatorial triangle-type artificial magnetic conductor (AMC) structure for radar cross section (RCS) reduction is presented in this article. The AMC part in conventional chessboard configuration is replaced with four triangle-type AMC parts, so that the power can be transferred into more directions leading to the peak scattered field reduction. A simplified model is constructed to analyze the behavior of the proposed structure. The simulated results show that the peak value is reduced by more than 5 dB compared with the conventional chessboard configuration and the bistatic RCS is below -10 dB in a wide angular range from theta = -25° to 25°. Moreover, measurement of the monostatic RCS for the proposed structure is also conducted.
