Abstract
Section titled âAbstractâMicrowave radomes exhibiting bandpass behavior are highly desirable for antenna systems. However, most of these radomes are not frequency switchable owing to their fixed structures. Here, a switchable metasurface based on complementary diamond-ring-shaped resonators is proposed for radomes. The microwave properties of the metasurface are investigated via simulations and experiments at X-band. By adjusting the rotation angle θ from 0° to 90°, the bandpass frequency is switched from 11.0 to 9.4 GHz. Two passbands appear for 0° <; θ <; 90°. In addition, the bandwidth can also be tuned by adjusting the rotation angle. This approach paves the way for designing switchable microwave radomes.
