Kirigami-Based Stretchable Low-Radar-Cross-Section Microstrip Antenna: Design and Analysis

What is it about?

The introduction of the RCS reduction technique not only achieves a low-RCS feature of the antenna but also guarantees its good radiation performance. A novel kirigami unit cell is designed and the force-displacement curve of the deployment process is studied. Stretchable microstrip antenna is designed, and EM experiment is carried out in a microwave anechoic chamber. Center frequency, the gain and RCS reduction characteristics of the stretchable microstrip antenna is analyzed. These laws provide theoretical support and guidance for the application of morphing aircraft and stretchable microstrip antenna.
