A Jaumann absorber with its metal backing replaced with a combined low-pass and polarizer FSS is investigated with respect to its absorption and its polarization-dependent low-frequency transparency properties. This structure is applied to an idealized curved wing-front end, and its monostatic radar cross-section is determined. The FSS-Jaumann structure preserves an absorption similar to the planar Jaumann absorber in the higher frequency interval and enables a partial transparency in the TEzpolarization at 1 GHz. In addition, once the structure is applied to the wing-front end, a significant reduction in two-dimensional radar cross-section for both the TMzand TEzpolarization over 2–16 GHz is observed. A sensitivity analysis shows that the resistivity of the inner resistive layer has a large impact on the 1 GHz transmission.

Abstract This article presents a semianalytic method to investigate the properties of energy transmission across bottom topography by barotropic Rossby waves. The method is first used to revisit the analytical estimates derived from wave-matching techniques and Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin (WKB) approximations. The comparison between the semianalytic method and WKB indicates that the results of the latter are valid for waves with periods longer than a month and ridges taller than ∼1000 m and wider than ∼500 km. For these parameter values both methods predict the passage of low-frequency waves and the reflection of high-frequency waves. The semianalytic method is then used to discuss the energy transmission properties of a cross section of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. It is shown that the filtering characteristics of realistic bottom topographies depend not only on the spatial scale set by the cross-section envelope, but also on the scales of the individual peaks. This dependence is related to the fact that topographies narrower than ∼400 km (e.g., peaks) are high-pass filters of incoming waves, while topographies wider than that (e.g., cross-section envelopes) are low-pass filters. In the particular case of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge the neglect of the contribution of individual peaks leads to an erroneous estimate of the filtering properties of the massif.

A two-Dimensional Finite Element Method of electromagnetic (EM) wave propagation through the soil is presented in this chapter. The chapter employs a boundary value problem (BVP) to solve the Helmholtz time-harmonic electromagnetic model. An infinitely large dielectric object of an arbitrary cross-section is considered for scattering from a dielectric medium and illuminated by an incident wave. Since the domain extends to infinity, an artificial boundary, a perfectly matched layer (PML) is used to truncate the computational domain. The incident field, the scattered field, and the total field in terms of the z-component are expressed for the transverse magnetic (TM) and transverse electric (TE) modes. The radar cross-section (RCS), as a function of several other parameters, such as operating frequency, polarization, illumination angle, observation angle, geometry, and material properties of the medium, is computed to describe how a scatterer reflects an electromagnetic wave in a given direction. Simulation results obtained from MATLAB for the scattered field, the total field, and the radar cross-section are presented for three soil types – sand, loam, and clay.
