A High-Temperature-Resistant Stealth Bandpass/Bandstop-Switchable Frequency Selective Metasurface

Le résumé fourni par la source

We propose a bandpass/bandstop-switchable frequency-selective metasurface (FSM) designed for high-speed vehicles that generate high temperatures during flight, based on a high-temperature-resistant dielectric substrate and liquid metal (LM). We fabricated a cavity structure by utilizing a high-temperature-resistant dielectric substrate to form a metal FSM element by introducing LM, enabling specific electromagnetic functions. The flow state of the LM can be controlled to achieve the switching of the FSM's bandpass/bandstop performance. The bandstop characteristic has a resonance frequency of 6.1 GHz and the bandpass interval is 5.53-6.51 GHz. The bandpass characteristic has a resonance frequency of 5.41 GHz and the bandstop interval is 5.30-5.76 GHz, achieving a bandpass/bandstop switching range of 5.53-5.76 GHz. LM fluidity can aid in high-temperature heat dissipation. When the LM reaches a certain flow rate, the FSM structure's average temperature can be reduced by an order of magnitude from a thousand to less than a hundred degrees. The FSM exhibits low RCS, with 22.35 dB and 36.79 dB reductions in bandstop and bandpass properties, respectively, compared with that of sheet metal. A prototype was developed and tested, validating the design of the FSM structure with high-temperature resistance, bandpass/bandstop switchability, and low RCS characteristics, and is expected to be applied in high-speed aircraft.
