The use of fin-corrugated periodic surfaces for the reduction of interference from large reflecting surfaces Ebbeson, Gordon Robert
Abstract
The use of periodic structures to reduce interference from large reflecting surfaces is proposed. Instrument landing system (ILS) interference from large hangars and terminal buildings is cited as a typical problem. An analytical and numerical investigation of an infinite fin-corrugated surface composed of infinitely thin fins of spacing λ/2<a<λ under TM polarized plane wave illumination is described. Specular reflection from this surface can be completely converted to back-scatter in a direction opposite to the incident wave when the angle of incidence from the normal to the surface and the fin height are properly chosen. Experiments were performed at 35 and 37 GHz. using finite size fin-corrugated surfaces with fins of finite thickness under non-plane wave illumination and the results indicate that these surfaces behave essentially as predicted. In addition, the experimental surfaces remain completely effective for small oblique angles of incidence and have sufficient bandwidth for ILS applications.
