Design of Frequency Selective Surface-Based Hybrid Nanocomposite Absorber for Stealth Applications

This paper presents the design, fabrication, and electromagnetic testing of a frequency selective surface (FSS)-based novel hybrid nanocomposite absorber for enhanced electromagnetic absorption. The proposed hybrid absorber consists of an FSS pattern printed over a dielectric substrate backed by aluminum foil, which is integrated together with a customized dielectric nanocomposite sheet. The dielectric sheet comprises the conducting carbon black...
