Abstract A radar-infrared compatible stealth surface is designed and analyzed. Without modifying the radar absorbing material (RAM), the design can theoretically achieve radar-infrared compatibility and broadband radar absorption through surface patterns and structures. A transmission-line-based model (TLM) is developed to analyze the radar absorbing performance of the surface. Optimization of the structure geometries is conducted aiming to maximize the -10 dB absorption bandwidth in 2-18 GHz. Surface with optimized structure geometries exhibits a superior absorption bandwidth, more than twice the bandwidth of the original 1.5 mm RAM slab, while maintaining a relatively low infrared emissivity.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
