Problems solved by technology

Try to hide the antenna when the radar is not working, and restore the antenna to the normal working state before the radar is turned on, so as to realize the stealth of the time-sharing antenna system. However, the stealth ability is completely lost when the radar is turned on
[0005] (2) Airspace Stealth
Since the theoretical basis of low-RCS stealth shape design is the geometrical optics approximation of high-frequency scattering, it is very effective in high-frequency bands, but in low-frequency bands, when the antenna size is similar to or even smaller than the radar operating wavelength, changing the shape has a great impact on RCS Small, it will even enhance RCS, and it will deteriorate the radiation performance of the antenna to a certain extent
For the stealth of out-of-band radar, there are many researches at present. F...

Abstract

The invention discloses an array antenna used for reducing radar scattering cross section, and mainly solves a problem of large scattering cross section of a present microstrip array antenna radar. The array antenna in the invention comprises a medium plate, a ground plate and n microstrip radiation units (2). The n microstrip radiation units (2) are on the upper surface of the medium plate (1). The ground plate (3) is on the lower surface of the medium plate (1). Structural type absorbing material arrays (4) are provided between each two adjacent microstrip radiation units, and N*M square metal pasters (5) are arranged as rectangular. The metal pasters (5) form inductances L. Connection resistors (7) connect adjacent metal pasters to form resistors R. Gap (6) between adjacent metal pasters (5) form capacitors C. The capacitors C, the inductances L and the resistors R form RLC resonance circuits. By adjusting resonance circuits frequency to superpose the resonance circuits frequency with antenna work frequency, absorption of vertical incident surface wave is realized. The array antenna used for reducing radar scattering cross section in the invention has the advantages of stable performance of reducing in-band and outband radar scattering cross sections of antenna and no influence on antenna volume, weight and cost.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of antennas, in particular to an array antenna that utilizes structural wave absorbing materials to reduce the radar cross section, and is used to realize antenna stealth. Background technique [0002] In various aircraft, the antenna is an indispensable component, and the problem of its radar cross section RCS contributing to the overall RCS of the aircraft has become more prominent. Due to the limitation of the working characteristics of the antenna system, it must ensure the normal reception and transmission of its own electromagnetic waves. Therefore, conventional stealth measures cannot simply be used in antenna stealth. How to reduce the RCS of the antenna so that the antenna system can work effectively without being detected and attacked by the other party not only affects the survival of the antenna itself, but also affects the electromagnetic stealth performance of its carrier, which in turn affects the ...
