In this study, we present a novel design methodology for unit cells in chessboard metasurfaces with the aim of reducing the radar cross-section (RCS) for linearly polarized waves. The design employs rotational symmetry and incorporates ten continuous parameters to define the metasurface units, enabling the creation of flexible 2D structures. The geometrical parameters of the two units are then optimized using a simulated annealing (SA) algorithm to achieve a low RCS chessboard metasurface. Following optimization, the properties of the metasurface were experimentally verified. The experimental results show a significant RCS reduction of 10 dB within the 7.6–15.5 GHz range, with the peak reduction reaching-28 dB at normal incidence. For a bistatic RCS, the metasurface effectively scatters incident waves into four distinct lobes. The proposed method offers an alternative strategy for the inverse design of low RCS metasurfaces and can be extended to applications in polarization control, phase gradient manipulation, and transmissive metasurfaces.

This paper proposes a method for extracting information about circular holes for complex objects with cylindrical apertures which base on special 3D scanning platform. After scanning the object, the point cloud is sliced after fitting the plane using the eigenvalue method. Aiming at the slice data, a point cloud segmentation extraction algorithm is proposed. The experimental results show that the system can effectively control the aperture extraction error and broaden the types of detectable parameters.
