典型隐身飞机动态RCS 仿真及统计分析

非合作目标的动态RCS 数据难以通过外场测量获取,电磁仿真计算成为了获取其电磁动态特性的有效途径。基于全空域静态RCS 数据库和空气动力学原理对典型隐身飞机的动态RCS 进行了仿真,并采用姿态抖动模型修正了姿态角,使动态数据更加贴近实际情况。其次,分别采用卡方分布、对数正态分布和威布尔分布对动态RCS 进行统计建模, 非参数检验结果表明对数正态分布在不同频率、不同极化均能获得最佳拟合效果,体现出其在描述动态RCS 起伏特性方面具有通用性。研究成果可为实现雷达回波的快速精确仿真提供依据。

针对飞机实际飞行中的各种随机抖动, 提出了一种飞机动态RCS序列仿真方法。首先采用飞机缩比模型的激光测量尺寸在FEKO中建立精确电磁计算模型, 得到了飞机全空域静态RCS数据。在运动建模中先设定飞行航迹, 推算出飞行过程中飞机的姿态角变化, 叠加实际飞行中随机抖动的影响, 使得运动建模更加贴近实际。仿真结果表明: 叠加随机抖动后的动态RCS与初始值相差3 dB的点数占总数的17.5%, 该方法对雷达目标动态特性的仿真研究具有重要的参考价值。     

Ultra-thin circularly polarized lens antenna based on single-layered transparent metasurface

Circularly polarized(CP) lens antenna has been applied to numerous wireless communication systems based on its unique advantages such as high antenna gain, low manufacturing cost, especially stable data transmission between the transmitter and the receiver. Unfortunately, current available CP lens antennas mostly suffer from high profile, low aperture efficiency as well as complex design. In this paper, we propose an ultra-thin CP lens antenna based on the designed singlelayered Pancharatnam–Berry(PB) transparent metasurface with focusing property. The PB metasurface exhibits a high transmissivity, which ensures a high efficiency of the focusing property. Launched the metasurface with a CP patch antenna at its focal point, a low-profile lens antenna is simulated and measured. The experimental results show that our lens antenna exhibits a series of advantages including high radiation gain of 20.7 dB, aperture efficiency better than 41.3%, and also narrow half power beam width(HPBW) of 13°at about 14 GHz. Our finding opens a door to realize ultra-thin transparent metasurface with other functionalities or at other working frequencies.     

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.     

基于扑翼模型的鸟类目标动态RCS的仿真研究

提出了一种研究扑翼飞行鸟类的动态雷达散射截面(RCS)仿真方法。结合鸟类飞行中的3种典型扑翼姿态建立了对应的CAD模型,并基于FEKO计算了每种姿态的全空域静态RCS数据。建立了叠加位置扰动的鸟类飞行航迹模型,解算出雷达视线在目标坐标系中的视线角,计算鸟的扑翼频率,得到扑翼姿态随时间变化的序列。最后对全空域静态数据进行线性插值获得所需的RCS。仿真结果表明:鸟正侧方的动态RCS要大于前侧方和后侧方的RCS;考虑鸟扑翼的RCS比没有考虑扑翼的RCS振荡更加剧烈。该方法为研究雷达鸟类目标动态特性提供了参考。     

Application of Ultra-Compact Single Negative Waveguide Metamaterials for a Low Mutual Coupling Patch Antenna Array Design

A novel ultra-compact single-negative waveguide metamaterial （WG-MTM） based on a complementary anti- parallel-spiral line （CAPAL） is proposed and investigated by circuit model analysis, electromagnetic simulation and extraction of the effective parameters. The cell is ultra-compact with dimensions of λ0/22.08 × λo/22.08, which advances a step further toward homogenized concept. Two band-gaps attributing to the negative permeability and negative permittivity appear when the CAPAL-WG-MTM cells response to the time-varying perpendicular E-field and parallel H-field, and thus a high decoupling efficiency is obtained. Mutual coupling reduction of about 8.27dB is realized by inserting 7 ×1 CAPSL-WG-MTM cells between two closely placed antenna elements with an edge-to-edge separation of only λ0/19.23. Moreover, the radiation characteristics are improved for both the patch element and the antenna array. A higher front-to-back ratio is obtained for the patch element and an increase of 0.64dB for the gain of the antenna array by using the CAPAL-WG-MTM structure.     

基于组合梯度超表面的低RCS微带天线设计

针对微带天线的带内和带外雷达散射截面（radar cross section,RCS）减缩问题,提出了一种加载组合梯度超表面的低RCS天线设计方法,以解决传统RCS减缩技术存在的带宽受限和设计复杂问题.该方法将8个梯度方向间隔45°的梯度超单元依次排列在辐射贴片的周围,由于梯度超单元的奇异反射特性,散射场将会被重新分布至各个方向,表现出漫反射效果,从而实现单站和双站的RCS减缩.仿真和测试结果表明:加载组合梯度超表面前后微带天线的RCS在7.2~18.4 GHz减缩了5 dB以上,且微带天线原有的辐射特性基本保持不变.该设计方法具有设计简单、超宽带工作的特点.
