Design and Simulation of a Miniature Thick-Screen Frequency Selective Surface Radome

Abstract
In this letter, we present a miniature conical thick-screen frequency-selective surface (FSS) radome at C-band and investigate the effect of the miniature FSS radome located in close proximity of a monopole antenna. The unit cell of the thick-screen FSS radome is designed according to the concept of artificial puck plate (APP), and its strict periodic array mounted on sharp conical surface is indicated in detail. The FSS radome, together with a monopole antenna, is simulated using the software HFSS both at the pass- and stopbands. Simulated results show that the miniature thick-screen FSS radome has a narrow band-pass response and could be useful for out-of-band radar cross-section (RCS) control.
