Abstract

This paper describes on the design of Passive-type Radar Reflector for small Ship (PRR-S) based on the newly revised 2000 SOLAS regulations. The design idea, adopted in the study, is to hold PRR-S in the proper ‘catch rain’ position to avoid fluctuations of Radar Cross Section (RCS) due to ship's heeling. The PRR-S consists of octahedral-type radar reflector with circular plates and three-axis gimbaled stabilizer with weight on the bottom of outer gimbal ring. Performance test for the PRR is carried out in an anechoic chamber. The test results show that the reflected radar signal from PRR-S is more uniformly distributed than the reference model (Davis Echomaster).

이 논문에서는 새로 개정된 2000 SOLAS 규정에 근거하여 소형선박용 수동식 레이더 리프렉터(PRR-S) 설계에 관해서 기술했다. 이 연구의 설계개념은 PRR-S이 선박요동에 의해서 레이더 반사면적(RCS)이 변동하는 것을 방지하기 위하여 ‘catch rain’ 위치를 유지하도록 한 것이다. PRR-S은 원형판으로 구성한 옥타헤더럴 레이더 리프렉터와 요동방지를 위한 짐발장치로 구성하였다. 설계한 PRR-S는 전파흡수실에서 성능실험을 하였다. 실험결과, 기준으로 정한 Davis Echomaster사의 리프렉터 보다 설계한 PRR-S이 높은 RCS를 나타냈다.
