Abstract

This paper describes on the development of Passive-type Radar Reflector for Fisheries (PRR-F) based on the newly revised 2000 SOLAS regulations. The purpose of PRR-F is to provide it as the protection devices of a fishing net and a fishing field. The PRR-F is composed of corner cluster bundle of light galvanized iron, and it is inserted into floating styrofoam. Performance tests for the PRR-F are carried out in an anechoic chamber. The test results show that the reflected radar signal from PRR-F is large enough for the purpose.

이 논문에서는 새로 개정된 2000 SOLAS 규정에 근거한 어업용 수동식 레이더 리프렉터(PRR-F) 개발에 관해서 기술했다. PRR-F의 목적은 어망이나 어장의 보호 장치로 사용하는 것이다. PRR-F는 가벼운 양철 재질의 코너 크로스터 묶음을 부유 스티로폼 안에 내장한 형태로 구성하였다. PRR-F를 전파흡수실에서 성능 실험한 결과, 레이더 반사된 신호의 크기가 개발 목적에 충분하였다.
