Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>ABSTRACT</title> <p>In this work, the design of tapered resistive sheet realized by geometric variation based on frequency‐selective surfaces concepts is demonstrated having good suppression of edge scattering from a triangular metallic plate. Electromagnetic back‐scattering of the as‐prepared target from a triangular plate with edge tapered resistive sheet loading is proposed for both horizontal polarization and vertical polarization, and compared with that from the one of the same shape but loaded with constant or none resistive sheet on the edge. Experimental results are presented and compared to numerical simulations, and they demonstrated that the proposed tapered resistive sheet loading advances excellent suppression of edge scattering and the wide angular radar cross section reduction of the target further than the other designs. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
