Abstract

The present invention relates to a design method for changing the frequency dependence of a traditional corner reflector, and relates to the field of corner reflectors. The method comprises the following steps: redesigning the original three mutually perpendicular corner reflector into a non-mutually perpendicular structure, performing simulation calculations to obtain the RCS of the corner reflector at different deflection angles and different frequencies, and calculating the RCS mean; analyzing the change in the RCS mean under the relationship between the deflection angle and different frequencies, and using a third-order polynomial to fit the relationship between the change in the RCS mean of the corner reflector as a function of the deflection angle and the frequency, so as to obtain structural data of different corner reflectors according to different frequencies. The present invention has the advantage of being able to change the frequency dependence of the traditional corner reflector by controlling the deflection angle of the corner reflector, thereby providing a new simulation unit for more realistic and accurate simulation of real targets, and providing technical support for exploring the boundary between the processing accuracy of the simulation unit and the simulation effect by analyzing its RCS characteristics in different states.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of corner reflectors, and in particular to a design method for changing the frequency dependence of a traditional corner reflector. Background Art

[0002] A trihedral corner reflector, composed of three vertical panels, is often used as a simulated radar target due to its high backscatter radar cross section (RCS) over a wide angle range. However, trihedral corner reflectors are subject to machining errors during production, significantly affecting RCS performance, and their machining accuracy directly impacts the simulation results. Furthermore, the magnitude of these traditional corner reflectors is inversely proportional to the square of the wavelength, resulting in significant differences from real targets.

[0003] Therefore, in view of the above shortcomings, it is necessary to provide a design method for changing the frequency dependence of the traditional corner reflector. Summary of the Invention

[0009] II. Place the new corner reflector horizontally and simulate its RCS scattering characteristics to obtain the RCS at different deflection angles and frequencies. Statistically analyze the RCS within the aperture and calculate the mean RCS.

[0010] III. By analyzing the change in the mean RCS of the corner reflector with a new structure under the relationship between the deflection angle of the two surfaces and different frequencies, a third-order polynomial is used to fit the relationship between the change in the mean RCS of the corner reflector and the change in deflection angle and frequency, so as to obtain the structural data of different corner reflectors according to different frequencies.

[0011] As a further illustration of the present invention, preferably, the two deflection surfaces of the corner reflector are two vertical surfaces.

[0032] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0033] A design method to change the frequency dependence of traditional corner reflectors, such as Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:

[0034] I. The original three-sided corner reflector was redesigned into a non-perpendicular structure, with the base plate defined as OAB and the vertical plates as OAD and OBD. The angle t between the two faces of the new corner reflector and the corresponding two faces of the original corner reflector is acute.

[0035] Ⅱ. Place the corner reflector of the new structure horizontally. To verify the difference in RCS scattering characteristics under different tilt states of the vertical plate, different tilt angles are designed, namely 0.2°, 0.5°, 0.6°, 0.7°, 0.8°, 0.9°, 1.0°, 1.2°, 1.4° and 1.6°. Electromagnetic theoretical simulation is performed on the corner reflector under different tilt angles. To verify the change of this type of corner reflector with frequency, the simulation frequency is set to 10GHz to 35GHz. The RCS characteristic value in the aperture is obtained through simulation calculation, and the RCS mean value is statistically calculated. The results are as follows Figures 2 to 10 shown.

[0036] From the curve of the change of the RCS mean value of the corner reflector with frequency at different tilt angles, it can be seen that the RCS of the traditional three-sided corner reflector increases with the increase of frequency, while the RCS mean value of the corner reflector designed by the present invention gradually decreases with the increase of frequency. When the tilt angle becomes larger, this trend is more obvious, and the RCS magnitude is weaker in the high frequency band.

[0037] III. By analyzing the change in the mean RCS value of the new corner reflector under the relationship between the deflection angle of the two surfaces and different frequencies, a third-order polynomial is used to fit the relationship between the change in the mean RCS value of the corner reflector and the change in the deflection angle and frequency, so as to obtain the structural data of different corner reflectors according to different frequencies. The polynomial fitting results are:

[0038] f(t,x)=17+44.15t+2.1x-28.39t 2 -3.51x 2 +4.4t 3 +

[0039] 0.93t 2 x.

[0040] in,

[0041] t is the deflection angle of the vertical plate of the corner reflector;

[0042] x is the frequency point.

[0043] The fitting results are as follows Figure 11 As shown, the present invention can change the frequency dependence of the traditional corner reflector, providing a new simulation unit for more realistic and accurate simulation of real targets; and by analyzing its RCS characteristics in different states, providing technical support for exploring the boundaries of the simulation unit processing accuracy on the simulation effect.

[0044] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. However, these modifications or replacements do not deviate the essence of the corresponding technical solutions from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the various embodiments of the present invention.
