This study introduces a novel method to reduce the radar cross section (RCS) of wideband antennas. A absorbing material (RAM) with frequency selective surfaces (FSSs) is proposed. The RAM used as ground plane Yagi‐Uda and Vivaldi antenna for in‐band RCS reduction. measurement result shows that radiation pattern antennas over whole band preserved when used. can be reduced by more than 10 dB operating this method.
