Abstract

Abstract : A composite frequency‐selective surface (FSS) fabricated by using an e‐beam evaporator is proposed. This manufacturing process is advantageous in that it can directly achieve an FSS function for real structural surfaces with various skin conformations. A multilayered patch–grid–patch‐type FSS consisting of copper layers as capacitive or inductive surfaces and a glass/epoxy prepreg as the substrate is produced. It operates at 9–10 GHz for dual polarisation. This technique can be used to manufacture a stealth technology for communicating in a specific frequency range.
