Abstract

A radome shutter structure for preventing the transmission of electromagnetic energy within a selected frequency range and for permitting the transmission of energy outside such frequency range during a first mode of operation and for permitting the transmission of electromagnetic energy over a relatively wide frequency range which includes such selected frequency range during a second mode of operation. The structure includes an insulative substrate having a symmetrical array of metallized regions, each region preferably in the form of a Jerusalem Cross having discontinuous arms interconnected by diode elements which are placed in a conductive state in the first mode of operation and in a non-conductive state in the second mode of operation.
