Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main"> <title>ABSTRACT</title> <p>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. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Microwave Opt Technol Lett 57:2728–2732, 2015</p> </abstract>
