【 摘 要 】

Based on phase randomization theory, a method for manufacturing metasurface with diffuse scatter performance is proposed. By using the line-shaped elements with random rotate angles and random distributing positions, the metasurface can achieve good diffusion scatter performance with polarization independent characteristic. This paper studies the effects of the length of line-shaped elements on the metasurface response frequency and the radar cross section (RCS) reduction bandwidth. The simulated result shows that the wideband properties of metasurface benefit from two different length line-shaped elements. The proposed metasurface can reduce the RCS significantly for both normal and oblique incident waves. The line-shaped element is suitable for all sizes of detected objects and it can be directly sprayed on the detected object surface. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, the metasurface prototype is fabricated and measured. Experimental results show that the fabricated metasurface can effectively reduce RCS, and it has great application prospects in stealth technology.
