Abstract

Abstract Most applications of electromagnetic band gap (EBG) concern antenna radiation or electromagnetic filters. In this paper, a metallic EBG structure is designed for stealth applications. We show how this structure allows us to reduce the radar cross section (RCS) of targets. An application of this kind of MEBG is the design of a radome allowing the reduction of antenna RCS. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
