This invention relates to the fields of
radio frequency detection and aircraft
skin technology, and discloses a conformal
skin radar structure based on a
radio frequency microsystem. It includes several planar arrays based on the
radio frequency microsystem, assembled according to the curvature requirements of aircraft
skin to form irregularly shaped arrays. A conformal skin is attached to the surface of each irregularly shaped array, including an outer electromagnetic wave-transmitting protective skin. A filling portion is provided on the side of the protective skin that is in contact with the irregularly shaped array, and the filling portion is inserted into the splicing seam between adjacent planar arrays. This invention utilizes the
integrated design of the irregularly shaped outer electromagnetic wave-transmitting protective skin and the irregularly shaped array based on the radio frequency
microsystem. While ensuring
electrical performance, it achieves conformal design with the aircraft skin, expanding the installation location of
radar equipment on aircraft platforms. Furthermore, the structure is simple and compact, lightweight, easy to manufacture, and inexpensive. Moreover, the filling portion ensures the installation stability of the conformal skin and the irregularly shaped array while improving the electromagnetic performance of the combined irregularly shaped array.
