CPC H01Q 17/007 (2013.01) [G01S 7/4004 (2013.01); H01Q 15/14 (2013.01)] | 18 Claims |
1. An RCS reduction surface for reducing a radar cross section of an object, said RCS reduction surface comprising:
at least one absorber portion, said absorber portion being configured to absorb radar waves; and
at least one reflecting portion, said reflecting portion being configured to reflect radar waves,
wherein a first plane being associated with a top surface of said absorber portion and a second plane being associated with a top surface of said reflecting portion are spaced from each other by a predefined distance,
wherein said predefined distance is configured such that radar waves with a predefined wavelength range that are reflected at said absorber portion and at said reflecting portion interfere destructively with each other,
wherein a total area of the at least one absorber portion and a total area of the at least one reflecting portion have a predefined ratio, wherein said predefined ratio is dependent on an absorbance of said at least one absorber portion,
wherein said predefined ratio is configured such that an overall intensity of a radar wave that is reflected by said RCS reduction surface is minimized, and
wherein a summed intensity of radar waves reflected at the at least one absorber portion is approximately equal to a summed intensity of radar waves reflected at the at least one reflecting portion.
