摘要

This paper presents a frequency-selective rasorber whose transmission window locates at the higher frequency of absorption band. The accomplished rasorber is composed of dipole-like and slot arrays, and has realized the transmissive/absorptive performance. In every unit cell, each pair of dipole-like elements connected by vias is printed on the two sides of the substrate, and the coupling between long and short dipoles is suppressed by this structure. A guiding circuit is studied based on the analysis of the current path, and the insertion loss of transmission window is significantly reduced by the surface current at the pass-band that is hindered to pass through lossy elements. The presented rasorber acts as an absorber at the low frequencies, while providing a high transmittance window at 5.6 GHz. This design is elaborately optimized to achieve low reflection and angle-insensitive performance. Finally, the presented structure is validated by numerical simulations and experimental measurements. This rasorber could be used for secrecy communications among stealth facilities while providing stable broad-band absorptive properties.
