Radar Signature Control Using Metamaterials (U)
Abstract
A method enabling the control of the radar signature using metamaterial is presented. The work was carried out using a Multiradius Bridge Current (MBC) Electromagnetic Moment Method code. The metamaterial specimen in this work is a 2D array of vertical wire segments each loaded with resistor and inductor. The results indicate that the far field directional gain of the metamaterial differs from the specular far field directional gain of a wire mesh. In case of the metamaterial, the far field directional gain can be rotated in azimuth with respect to the direction of the incoming incident wave. The results are discussed in term of activated segment line selected from the array of segments that make up the metamaterial specimen.
