Spectral Signature Modification By Application Of Infrared Frequency-Selective Surfaces, Brian Monacelli
Spectral Signature Modification By Application Of Infrared Frequency-Selective Surfaces, Brian Monacelli
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
It is desirable to modify the spectral signature of a surface, particularly in the infrared (IR) region of the electromagnetic spectrum. To alter the surface signature in the IR, two methods are investigated: thin film application and antenna array application. The former approach is a common and straightforward incorporation of optically-thin film coatings on the surface designated for signature modification. The latter technique requires the complex design of a periodic array of passive microantenna elements to cover the surface in order to modify its signature. This technology is known as frequency selective surface (FSS) technology and is established in the …
