飞行器表面缝隙电磁散射特性研究

 在常规飞行器的各类电磁散射源中,缝隙属于弱散射源,但对于隐身飞行器,缝隙电磁散射不可忽略。为研究飞行器缝隙电磁散射特性,在不同极化下,将缝隙置于金属平板的对角线,削弱金属边缘电磁散射影响。通过系列雷达散射截面(RCS)测试分析,得到了缝隙电磁散射随缝隙宽度、（多缝隙）缝隙间距的变化规律,以及其极化特性。不同宽度单缝测试结果表明:对于水平极化,缝隙宽度小于波长的1/4时,缝隙的宽度增加将导致缝隙引起的表面波散射快速增长,反之,呈下降趋势;对于垂直极化,缝隙宽度较小时试件的电磁散射与无缝金属平板接近,当缝隙宽度大于波长的1/2时,宽度增加时,其散射增强。多缝隙测试结果表明缝隙间距会影响散射的空间分布、波峰位置,可以理解为对各单缝隙散射叠加效果的影响。垂直极化影响强于水平极化。

基于几何特征的飞行器RCS高效计算方法(英文)

Taking into account the influences of scatterer geometrical shapes on induced currents, an algorithm, termed the sparse-matrix method （SMM）, is proposed to calculate radar cross section （RCS） of aircraft configuration. Based on the geometrical characteristics and the method of moment （MOM）, the SMM points out that the strong current coupling zone could be predefined according to the shape of scatterers. Two geometrical parameters, the surface curvature and the electrical space between the field position and source position, are deducted to distinguish the dominant current coupling. Then the strong current coupling is computed to construct an impedance matrix having sparse nature, which is solved to compute RCS. The efficiency and feasibility of the SMM are demonstrated by computing electromagnetic scattering of some kinds of shapes such as a cone-sphere with a gap, a bi-arc column and a stealth aircraft configuration. The numerical results show that： （1） the accuracy of SMM is satisfied, as compared with MOM, and the computational time it spends is only about 8% of the MOM; （2） with the electrical space considered, making another allowance for the surface curvature can reduce the computation time by 9.5%.     

冰脱落对电热除冰传热特性的影响研究

冰脱落对电热除冰传热特性的影响是电热除冰过程中的重要特征.采用有限体积法和混合网格技术,基于热焓方法将传统的相变传热模型应用到电热除冰计算中,研究了冰脱落对电热除冰传热特性的影响,主要研究了加热模式和加热单元间隔对除冰结构传热特性的影响.研究发现:无间隔除冰单元是有间隔除冰单元的特殊情况,其蒙皮表面温度历程在本质上是一致的.冰脱落后,无间隔除冰单元蒙皮表面温度开始剧烈上升然后逐渐缓慢上升.而对于有间隔除冰单元,随着间隔上加热功率的降低,温升过程逐渐缓和.单元间隔的加热功率降低到一定程度时,表面温度出现温降过程.当传递到蒙皮表面的热量和对流换热带走的热量差逐渐趋于稳定时,表面温度又开始逐渐稳定的上升.     

High-precision RCS measurement of aircraft’s weak scattering source

The radar cross section(RCS) of weak scattering source on the surface of an aircraft is usually less than 40 d Bsm.How to accurately measure the RCS characteristics of weak scattering source is a technical challenge for the aircraft's RCS measurement.This paper proposes separating and extracting the two-dimensional(2D) reflectivity distribution of the weak scattering source with the microwave imaging algorithm and spectral transform so as to enhance its measurement precision.Firstly,we performed the 2D microwave imaging of the target and then used the 2D gating function to separate and extract the reflectivity distribution of the weak scattering source.Secondly,we carried out the spectral transform of the reflectivity distribution and eventually obtained the RCS of the weak scattering source through calibration.The prototype experimental results and their analysis show that the measurement method is effective.The experiments on an aircraft's low-scattering conformal antenna verify that the measurement method can eliminate the clutter on the surface of aircraft.The precision of measuring a 40 d Bsm target is 3–5 d B better than the existing RCS measurement methods.The measurement method can more accurately obtain the weak scattering source's RCS characteristics.

Influence of stealth aircraft dynamic RCS peak on radar detection probability

For modern stealth aircraft, it is important to analyze the influence of Radar Cross Section (RCS) peak exposure on penetration for guiding stealth design and penetration trajectory planning, which needs to reflect the RCS statistical uncertainty and the RCS difference with the change of incident angle. Based on the RCS characteristics of typical stealth aircraft, this paper established a simplified RCS dynamic fluctuation statistical model with the parameters log mean and log standard deviation. According to the detection probability algorithm in radar signal processing field, this paper built the algorithm of radar detection probability based on the RCS dynamic fluctuation statistical model. The analysis of examples concluded that the key to successful penetration is to shorten the RCS peak exposure time, which can be reduced by decreasing the RCS peak width or increasing velocity. Based on the conclusion, this paper proposed the method of turning maneuvering to reduce RCS peak exposure time dramatically.

Robust autofocus algorithm for ISAR imaging of moving targets

A robust autofocus approach, referred to as AUTOCLEAN (AUTOfocus via CLEAN), is proposed for the motion compensation in ISAR (inverse synthetic aperture radar) imaging of moving targets. It is a parametric algorithm based on a very flexible data model which takes into account arbitrary range migration and arbitrary phase errors across the synthetic aperture that may be induced by unwanted radial motion of the target as well as propagation or system instability. AUTOCLEAN can be classified as a multiple scatterer algorithm (MSA), but it differs considerably from other existing MSAs in several aspects: (1) Dominant scatterers are selected automatically in the 2D image domain; (2) scatterers may not be well isolated or very dominant; (3) phase and RCS information from each selected scatterer are combined in an optimal way; (4) the troublesome phase unwrapping step is avoided. AUTOCLEAN is computationally efficient and involves only a sequence of FFTs. Another good feature associated with AUTOCLEAN is that its performance can be progressively improved by assuming a larger number of dominant scatterers for the target. Numerical and experimental results have shown that AUTOCLEAN is a very robust autofocus tool for ISAR imaging
