2. Topicality

TOPICALITY
Key Points:
Increasing importance of stealth technology in both military (e.g., defense platforms) and civilian
sectors (e.g., electromagnetic interference reduction).
Conventional Radar Absorbing Materials (RAM) and shaping techniques often suffer from limitations in
bandwidth, thickness, weight, and cost.
Offer unprecedented control over electromagnetic waves at subwavelength scales, enabling novel
solutions for Radar Cross-Section (RCS) reduction.
Crucial for enhancing security, improving communication system performance, and advancing diverse
technological domains.

3. Objectives

OBJECTIVES
Synthesize and present findings from recent research
on metamaterial applications for radar visibility
reduction.
Examine how metamaterials manipulate
electromagnetic waves through absorption, scattering
control, and polarization conversion.
Analyze various metamaterial designs and their
performance in achieving broadband, multi-band, and
angle-insensitive absorption in microwave frequencies.

4. Methodology and Expected results

METHODOLOGY AND EXPECTED RESULTS
Methodology:
• A comprehensive review of recent scientific literature focusing on metamaterial-based structures for microwave
absorption and RCS reduction.
• In-depth examination of different metamaterial absorber structures and their underlying design principles.
• Analysis of reported electromagnetic responses and performance characteristics (e.g., absorption efficiency, bandwidth,
angular stability).
