摘要： In this paper, we propose the design of a lightweight RCS reduction structure using double-layer metasurfaces. The structure is composed of two layers of metasurfaces spaced by PMI foams. To extend the bandwidth, two unit structures are firstly designed to operating in two respective bands for circularly polarized (CP) waves, which are then combined to act as the unit structure of the double-layer metasurface. The metasurface is expected to operate in two continuous bands. Nevertheless, due to the couplings between the two unit structures, there is Fano resonance that prohibits merging of the two bands. To solve this problem, we tune the resonant frequency of the bottom unit structure to suppress the Fano resonance and obtain a merged band. The combined unit structure is employed as the element of chessboard configuration, which can reduce RCS by more than 10dB in an ultra-wideband (4.5-16.5GHz). We designed, fabricated and measured a lightweight prototype (the aerial density is 726g/m2). Both the simulation and experiment result verify the design. This work provides an effective method of extending the operation band of RCS reduction without sacrificing the efficiency.
