1 STUDY OF THIN RESISTIVELY LOADED FSS BASED MICROWAVE ABSORBERS by SITI NORMI ZABRI B. Eng (Hons), MSc. (Eng) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY In the Faculty of Engineering of QUEEN S UNIVERSITY BELFAST School of Electronics, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science May 2015
2 i Abstract The purpose of this study was to develop new FSS based microwave absorber designs to minimise the physical thickness, increase the bandwidth and provide radar backscatter suppression that is independent of the wave polarization at large incident angles. A new low cost, accurate and rapid printing technique is employed to pattern the periodic arrays with the precise surface resistance required for each of the FSS elements to optimize the performance of this class of absorber. The electromagnetic behaviour of five new FSS based structures, two stand-alone arrays, and three absorber arrangements, have been studied using CST Microwave Studio software. The FSS structures consist of two closely spaced arrays of rings with the conductor split at one or two locations to provide independent control of the resonances. By careful design these are shown to exhibit coincident spectral transmission responses in the TE and TM plane. Based on this design methodology, a very thin 4-layer metal backed resistively loaded rectangular loop FSS absorber which works from is shown to give a wide band performance that is independent of the orientation of the impinging signals. To reduce the manufacturing complexity, a single layer FSS absorber which operates at 45 incidence has been designed to give a polarisation independent performance by employing an array of rectangular split loops with discrete pairs of resistive elements of unequal value inserted at the midpoint of the four sides. A major increase in bandwidth is obtained from a single layer FSS absorber which is composed of an array of nested hexagonal loops. Moreover the use of the same surface resistance for all four elements in the unit cell is shown to significantly simplify the construction of the structure which was designed to provide radar cloaking from 0 to 45 incidence.
3 ii A new manufacturing strategy is presented, where the required surface resistances are obtained by employing an ink-jet printer to simultaneously pattern the FSS elements on the substrate and digitally control the dot density of the nano silver ink and aqueous vehicle mixture. Bi static measurements of the radar backscatter are shown to be in good agreement with the numerical simulations for all three FSS microwave absorber designs.

12 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1 Introduction to Microwave Absorbers A microwave absorber is defined as a material or structure that attenuates the energy in an electromagnetic wave. To be specific it can soak up the incident energy, convert it into heat and therefore reduce the energy reflected back to the source [1]. The most common and well known electromagnetic absorber employed today is pyramidal absorber which is used in an anechoic chamber to create a free space environment for experimental purposes and also in microwave oven doors to prevent the escape of radiation into the atmosphere. However, it was in 1952 that the first microwave absorber was introduced, known as a Salisbury screen [2], it was developed as a consequence of the use of radars during the World War 2 [3], [4]. Radar is a sensitive detection tool and since its growth, researchers have studied various methods for reducing microwave reflections. The term radar cross section (RCS) is a property of the target size, shape and the material from which it is fabricated and is defined in terms of the ratio of the incident and reflected power [5]. The radar cross section has implications to survivability and mission capability. For example, in the case of stealth aircraft, it is preferable to have a low RCS so that the aircraft is less visible. Radar absorbers are one of the most effective methods used in 1
13 Chapter 1: Introduction 2 RCS reduction. The materials for reducing radar cross section rely on magnetic and electric materials, while principles from physical optics are used to design absorber structures. Since the introduction of the Salisbury screen, the design of electromagnetic absorbers has been studied intensively to improve performance and utility, and a large number of different approaches and designs have been reported in the open literature. 1.2 Microwave Absorbers Types Many different types of microwave absorbers have been developed to date. Vinot et. al [3] classify the absorbers into two categories which are narrowband absorbers and broadband absorbers. Salisbury screens [2], magnetic absorbers [6], Dallenbach and Circuit Analog (CA) structures are examples of the narrowband type. Some examples of broadband absorbers are the Jaumann [7], geometric transition [8], [9], bulk and Chiral absorbers [10]. Examples of four different types of microwave absorbers that have recently been reported in the literature are illustrated in Figure 1.1. (a) (b) (c) (d) Figure 1.1 Examples of different types of absorber structures, (a) Chiral metamaterial absorber [11], (b) CA absorber [12], (c) geometric transition absorber [9], (d) Jaumann absorber [13] The Salisbury Screen is the earliest and simplest type of absorber which consists of a continuous resistive sheet separated a quarter wavelength apart from a metal ground
14 Chapter 1: Introduction 3 plane. The Circuit Analog (CA) absorber, is similar in construction to the Salisbury screen, but the continuous resistive sheet is replaced with a patterned resistive sheet made of a lossy Frequency Selective Surface (FSS) separated a predetermined distance from the ground plane. An FSS is a periodic surface which is the association of identical elements placed in a one- or two-dimensional infinite array [14]. The FSS screen has a periodic design described by a unit cell; it may contain either metallic patches or apertures. In most FSS applications, the geometry of the FSS is selected to obtain the type of response needed. By changing the geometry of the structure, the electromagnetic properties of the FSS screen can be changed. In addition, due to the frequency selective electromagnetic scattering properties of the FSS, unlike Salisbury screen absorbers, the distance between the ground plane and the FSS sheet is not necessarily required to be λ/4 and because of this the structure can be designed to be thinner. Although CA absorbers are often classified as narrowband absorbers, the exploitation of the FSS pattern in recent studies show that a broadband performance can also be achieved [15], [16]. This type of structure is studied in detail in this thesis. 1.3 Application of Absorbers Traditionally the main application of microwave absorbers is in radar technology because the exploitation of radar absorbing materials started shortly after the introduction of radar. The term radar comes from the words radio detection and ranging. As implied by the name, radar is capable of detecting the presence of a target and also able to determine the range [4]. The ability of the radar in detecting and tracking the target is due to echo signals, hence, it is important that the design and operation of the radar should be capable of receiving these. This leads to the
15 Chapter 1: Introduction 4 term Radar Cross Section (RCS), which describes the target as an effective area or the energy that reflects back towards the source. RCS is also known as backscattering and the latter term is used throughout this thesis. Radar backscatter (or RCS) can be explained by referring to the two scenarios illustrated in Figure 1.2. For the conventional (or passenger) aircraft depicted in Figure 1.2(a), the backscatter from the airframe is required to be as large as possible so that it can be continuously tracked by the radar antenna. However, for the stealth aircraft shown in Figure 1.2(b), it is required to reduce the backscatter to decrease the visibility of the aircraft as seen by the radar antenna. There are four methods available to reduce the radar backscatter from a target; shaping, passive cancellation, active cancellation and use of absorbers [17]. Shaping is the primary method of reducing the backscattered signal from stealthy aircraft and ships [17]. Passive loading is a method in which the target is loaded at selected points with passive impedances and is similar to the active loading method except that the latter uses active elements [5]. The fourth method, absorbers, which is the topic of study in this thesis, involves coating the target with a radar absorbing material (RAM). Although shaping is very important and is the method used to electromagnetically cloak most stealth aircraft, it redirects the radiation through specular reflection hence increasing the probability of detection from bistatic radars [5]. Therefore, in addition to the shaping method, microwave absorbing material can in principle be used to absorb the remaining radar energy and ensure a low RCS in other sampling directions.
16 Chapter 1: Introduction 5 (a) (b) Figure 1.2 Radar cross section (radar backscatter) of a (a) conventional aircraft, (b) stealth aircraft [18] Apart from aircraft, wind turbines also present a large RCS and the blade rotation can cause further problems including disruption to the operation of air traffic control, military and marine navigation in terms of inaccurate, misidentification and false data [19]. Similar techniques that have been used for stealth aircraft can mitigate this problem e.g. the blade shape can be modified to reduce the interaction with radar signals. However due to aerodynamic constraints shaping alone may not be sufficient [20] therefore an absorber is required to further supress the electrical noise caused by the wind turbines and hence improve the radar performance [21]. The application of microwave absorbers is also important in consumer electronics. For example as illustrated in Figure 1.3, in electronics components, boards and circuits, it is used to reduce the noise radiation from/ to adjacent components.
17 Chapter 1: Introduction 6 (a) (b) Figure 1.3 Various applications of microwave absorber sheets [22] (a) noise reduction of electronic boards, (b) microwave interference reduction within a CS converter In recent literature [23], [24], work has been reported which shows that researchers are now looking for more advanced features and improvements by placing CA absorbers on radomes [23] to provide absorption and at the same time include a transparent window for the operation of the antenna. The concept of an absorber with a transparent window has been discussed in [25] for aircraft communication systems, where a Jaumann absorber is combined with a low pass gangbuster-like FSS combined with a polarizer. In [24] the authors introduced an absorptive frequency selective radome to reduce the transmission losses, by using a resistive FSS to
18 Chapter 1: Introduction 7 replace the common resistive sheet. It was also reported recently [26], that a thin metamaterial absorber was placed behind a reflectarray antenna to supress the back lobe energy which is generated as a result of edge diffraction from the ground plane. The concept which is illustrated in Figure 1.4 operates by absorbing the backscattered electromagnetic waves and therefore this results in an increase in the front to back ratio. (a) (b) Figure 1.4 Metamaterial absorber backed reflectarray antenna with improved frontback ratio [26], (a) side view, (b) top view 1.4 Principle of Operation of an Absorber The studies described in this thesis are mainly focused on developing absorbers in which the design approach is based on the use of FSS. In this chapter the basic principle of operation of the Salisbury screen is described because this serves to illustrate how radar backscatter suppression is obtained for most classes of microwave absorbers. Following this, the operating principle for FSS based absorbers is briefly described but a more comprehensive explanation is presented in Chapter 3. Consider Figure 1.5(a) where a plane wave propagates in the forward z direction and impinges at normal incidence on an absorber structure. The incoming wave consists of the electric field, E, and magnetic field, H, which are mutually perpendicular and
19 Chapter 1: Introduction 8 are denoted by a blue and red line respectively. This field orientation determines the type of polarization. When the induced E field is perpendicular to the incident plane, it is known as Transverse Electric (TE) polarization (blue line) and when the induced E field is parallel to the incident plane it is known as Transverse Magnetic (TM) polarization (red line). When the incident wave propagates through free space and impinges on the absorber surface, partial reflection occurs and this is characterized by (1.1) where Z s is the surface impedance (which is different for TE and TM at oblique incidence), is the free space impedance and is the reflection coefficient. The absorber is designed to reduce the magnitude of the electromagnetic wave that reflects back to the source. Based on Equation (1.1), zero reflection coefficient ( ) can be obtained based on two absorber theorems [27], that is: (1) matched wave impedance and (2) matched characteristic impedance. The first theorem requires that the surface impedance is equal to the free space impedance ( ) and the second theorem requires that the medium intrinsic impedance is equal to the free space intrinsic impedance. In general, the wave impedance Z is defined by the ratio of the E field phasor to the H field phasor: (1.2) Equation (1.2) can be reduced to: (1.3)
20 Chapter 1: Introduction 9 In free space both and are equal to 1, therefore this expression gives the value of the free space impedance Z (or normally for free space) which is 377 Ω. The Salisbury screen structure is shown in Figure 1.5(a) and its equivalent circuit which consists of a resistor Rs that represents a continuous resistive sheet is depicted in Figure 1.5(b). Resonance occurs at the frequency where the spacing between the resistive sheet and the ground plane is a quarter wavelength (with respect to the centre resonance) because at this spacing the short circuit impedance of the metal backing is transformed to an open circuit in parallel at the plane of the sheet. Therefore only the resistor Rs is seen by the incident wave, and by selecting the value of Rs to be 377 Ω, the structure will be matched to the free space impedance at resonance. Figure 1.5(c) shows an example of the variation in the magnitude of the reflected power for three different sheet resistances values.

21 Chapter 1: Introduction 10 The operation of a CA absorber, which is also known as an FSS based absorber, is similar to the Salisbury screen. But whereas a resistive sheet is used to construct the former structure, the CA absorber employs a FSS screen which exhibits a frequency dependent reactive component, except at resonance. A schematic of the FSS based absorber is depicted in Figure 1.6(a) and the equivalent circuit of the arrangement is illustrated in Figure 1.6(b). The operating principle of a FSS absorber is based on a lossy High Impedance Surface (HIS). HIS terminology is used to describe a periodic surface which is printed on a grounded dielectric slab [28]. Loss can be incorporated into the absorber using different mechanisms: lumped resistors [29] [33], resistive patterns [12], [15], [16], [28], [34] [44] or lossy dielectric [26], [45] [48]. For the work reported in this thesis, a resistive pattern (gaps or complete surface area of the FSS elements) is used to create all of the absorbers studied. Consider Figure 1.6(a), the equivalent circuit of the thin HIS consists of a parallel connection of the square loop FSS impedance which can be represented by a series L (due to parallel strip), C (due to inter-element gap), R (resistive loss of the loops) circuit, and the transformed impedance, L (assuming ), of the metal plate which is placed behind the periodic array. Resonance occurs at the frequency where the imaginary parts of the FSS impedance and the inductance presented by the ground plane cancel each other, and by selecting the value of R which is used to represent the FSS loss, it is possible to impedance match the structure to the free space impedance and thereby maximize radar backscatter suppression.
22 Chapter 1: Introduction 11 Z FSS Z GP Ground plane Resistive FSS d (a) (b) Figure 1.6 HIS based absorber (a) array of resistive FSS and, (b) equivalent circuit Z s In Figure 1.6, it is shown that the structure is represented by an equivalent circuit in which the impedance at the surface of the structure is equal to: (1.4) is the impedance presented by the ground plane and is given by [15], [44]: ( ) (1.5) where and are the impedances of the slab for TE and TM polarization and is the propagation constant [44]: ( ) ( ) (1.6) (1.7) is the transverse wavenumber which is a function of the incident wave angle,. Therefore, based on the equivalent circuit shown in Figure 1.6, when designing absorbers, the geometry of the FSS pattern should be optimized in such a way that the imaginary part of the FSS impedance cancels out the ground plane impedance for the required angle of incidence and electric vector orientation.
23 Chapter 1: Introduction Past Research on FSS Based Absorbers Since its introduction the performance of the Salisbury screen has been improved by adding multiple resistive layers, (known as a Jaumann absorber [7]), to widen the reflectivity bandwidth. Moreover recent studies have focused on other methods to increase their functionality including thickness reduction and performance stability at different incidence angles and wave polarizations. In Section 1.2, it was mentioned that the thickness of the absorber structure can be reduced while maintaining the reflectivity bandwidth by exploiting the geometry of the periodic surfaces that are used to construct CA absorbers. CA RAM was introduced in 1956 [49] to improve the performance of the Salisbury screen by creating sheets with geometric patterns composed of lossy material, however, due to the lack of design rules and methodology, practical implementation of the CA absorber arrangement (specifically using resistive FSS) was largely forgotten about until design rules were introduced in 2010 [44]. In [15], the authors demonstrated that a simple metal backed lossy square loop FSS based absorber, depicted in Figure 1.7, exhibits a similar performance as a Jaumann absorber previously reported in [50]. This eliminates the need for a multilayer structure hence this FSS based arrangement provides a significant reduction in the thickness and fabrication complexity. Using a lossy FSS printed on 5 mm thick dielectric substrate, the absorber produces a -10 db reflectivity bandwidth of 114% centred at GHz. A similar performance is obtained for the Jaumann absorber (Figure 1.7(b)) but for this arrangement the thickness is 15 mm.
24 Chapter 1: Introduction 13 (a) (b) Figure 1.7 CA/HIS absorber based resistive FSS, (a) geometry of the structure, (b) reflectivity of the (5 mm thick) HIS absorber and two-layer (15 mm thick) Jaumann absorber at normal incidence [15] The relationship between the FSS pattern geometry and the reflectivity bandwidth for a 1 mm thick metal backed absorber (thin and narrowband absorber) is illustrated in Figure 1.8 [44]. As shown in the plot, the square patch element gives the widest -10 db reflectivity bandwidth (12%) because the capacitance is significantly greater than the two other element shapes studied. The reason for this can be observed from the following equation [51] which relates the reflectivity bandwidth to the equivalent circuit components: ( ) [ ( ( ) ( )) ] (1.8) where ( ) (1.9) ( ) (1.10) Theoretically, square patch (and loop) FSS structures exhibit the same frequency response for both TE and TM waves at normal incidence because of the pattern
