Electromagnetic similitude and inconsistency of laser scattering for scale model

In this paper the electromagnetic similitudes for lossy and dispersive system are discussed. If both the geometric size of an object and incident wavelength are scaling-down simultaneously by analogy with microwave band, the inconsistencies exist for laser scattering in visible and near infrared bands. Another method of measurements and simulation for laser scattering in the geometric model is analyzed. That is, the geometric size of the object is only scaled down but the incident wavelength, material and configuration are keeping to not change. Although this way does not satisfy the principles of the electrodynamic similitude, it can overcome the electromagnetic inconsistencies for laser scattering. It is possible that the LRCS of the full-scale tested object are evaluated by those of the corresponding scaling-down model at identical frequency to establish theoretical models and data basis for LRCS of objects.

Reducing backscattering cross section of an electrically large sphere with metamaterial coating

In this paper, we present a method for hiding large spheres. Our proposed coating can make a significant reduction in backscattering cross section of an electrically large sphere. Since the monostatic radar cross section (RCS) is based on backscatter waves, such a coated sphere cannot be detected by this kind of radars. Also the effect of loss is considered in coating and we prove that even with a lossy coating, transparency is achievable in front of monostatic radars.

Cross section measurements of scale-model tactical targets by using 0.1 THz compact radar system

We present a new compact radar system to measure a terahertz radar cross section(RCS) of metal plates,trihedral corner reflectors,and an aircraft scaled model with a 0.1 THz continuous wave.We both numerically and experimentally investigate the terahertz RCS of the metal plates and trihedral corner reflectors.The numerical simulations are obtained by using commercial software,i.e.,computer simulation technology,which agree well with the experimental results.Then,the RCS of an aircraft scaled model is measured,and the experimental results are in good agreement with the physical characteristics of the scaled model.The effectiveness of our compact radar system is verified to get the RCS of complex targets,such as the scaled models of the tactical targets.     

Application of Millimeter Wave in Verification of Scale Model Measurement for Radar Cross Section

According to the physical optic approximation, a physical scale factor is suggested for scale model measurement of radar cross section (RCS). By this factor, the models of radar targets can be tested at the same frequency as prototype. This is significant for the lack of experimental equipment required or the problem of frequency dependency of radar absorbing materials on the objects. For the purpose of further verification and comparison, millimeter-wave is used to measure the model at the wavelength scaling down proportionally to the prototype. And the measurements of the models are also carried out at microwave band (same working wavelength with prototype). The computed results from models agree well with the data by prototype itself.

An ultra-wideband 2-bit coding metasurface using Pancharatnam—Berry phase for radar cross-section reduction

An ultra-wideband 2-bit coding metasurface is designed for radar cross-section (RCS) reduction. The design process is presented in detail, in which a polarization conversion metasurface (PCM) is first proposed. The proposed PCM can realize ultra-wideband circular polarization (CP) maintaining reflection. Moreover, Pancharatnam—Berry (PB) phase will be generated in the co-polarized reflection coefficient by rotating the metallic patches in its unit cells. Thus, based on the PCM, the four coding elements of a 2-bit coding metasurface are constructed using PB phase, and an ultra-wideband PB 2-bit coding metasurface is proposed according to an appropriate coding sequence. The simulated and experimental results show that the coding metasurface has obvious advantages of wideband and polarization-insensitivity. Compared to a metallic plate of the same size, it can achieve more than 10 dB RCS reduction in the frequency band from 9.8 GHz to 42.6 GHz with a relative bandwidth of 125.2% under normal incidence with arbitrary polarizations.

Electric and magnetic losses modeled by a stable hybrid with explicit–implicit time-stepping for Maxwell’s equations

A stable hybridization of the finite-element method (FEM) and the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) scheme for Maxwell’s equations with electric and magnetic losses is presented for two-dimensional problems. The hybrid method combines the flexibility of the FEM with the efficiency of the FDTD scheme and it is based directly on Ampère’s and Faraday’s law. The electric and magnetic losses can be treated implicitly by the FEM on an unstructured mesh, which allows for local mesh refinement in order to resolve rapid variations in the material parameters and/or the electromagnetic field. It is also feasible to handle larger homogeneous regions with losses by the explicit FDTD scheme connected to an implicitly time-stepped and lossy FEM region. The hybrid method shows second-order convergence for smooth scatterers. The bistatic radar cross section (RCS) for a circular metal cylinder with a lossy coating converges to the analytical solution and an accuracy of 2% is achieved for about 20 points per wavelength. The monostatic RCS for an airfoil that features sharp corners yields a lower order of convergence and it is found to agree well with what can be expected for singular fields at the sharp corners. A careful convergence study with resolutions from 20 to 140 points per wavelength provides accurate extrapolated results for this non-trivial test case, which makes it possible to use as a reference problem for scattering codes that model both electric and magnetic losses.

Analysis of scattering by conducting objects covered with arbitrarily magnetised plasma using finite element-boundary integral-fast multipole algorithm

The electromagnetic (EM) scattering by conducting objects covered with arbitrarily magnetised plasma is computed using the hybrid vector finite element-boundary integral-fast multipole method (FE-BI-FMM). The relative permittivity tensor of arbitrarily magnetised plasma is described. The FE-BI-FMM formulation for scattering by three-dimensional (3D) conducting objects covered with arbitrarily magnetised plasma is derived in detail. The validity of FE-BI-FMM is verified by comparing numerical results with analytical values. The radar cross-sections (RCS) of conducting objects covered with magnetised plasmas are simulated and the effects of plasma parameters on RCS are analysed. Numerical results indicate that magnetised plasma cover layer is effective on reducing the back scattering if appropriate parameters of plasma are chosen.

Ultra-wideband RCS reduction using novel configured chessboard metasurface

A novel artificial magnetic conductor(AMC) metasurface is proposed with ultra-wideband 180?phase difference for radar cross section(RCS) reduction. It is composed of two dual-resonant AMC cells, which enable a broadband phase difference of 180?±30?from 7.9 GHz to 19.2 GHz to be achieved. A novel strategy is devised by dividing each rectangular grid in a chessboard configuration into four triangular grids, leading to a further reduction of peak bistatic RCS. Both fullwave simulation and measurement results show that the proposed metasurface presents a good RCS reduction property over an ultra-wideband frequency range.
