Abstract

In this paper, reflection and RCS characteristic of the EGS(Electromagnetic Gradient Surface) due to incident angle and polarization is analyzed. Incident angle, ${\theta}_i$, is rotated from $0^{\circ}$ to $50^{\circ}$ with $10^{\circ}$ steps and perpendicular and parallel polarization of incident wave are also considered each incident angle. Reflection and RCS characteristic is not much affected by variation of polarization for normal incidence(${\theta}_i=0^{\circ}$). Reflection pattern has different characteristic due to variation of incident angle and polarization but the EGS has about 2 dB of RCS difference due to polarization in RCS characteristic.

본 논문에서는 EGS(Electromagnetic Gradient Surface) 구조의 반사 특성과 함께 RCS 특성을 입사파의 다양한 입사각과 편파에 따라 분석하였다. EGS에 입사되는 입사파의 입사각 ${\theta}_i$를 $0^{\circ}$에서 $50^{\circ}$까지 $10^{\circ}$ 간격으로 변화시켜가면서 수직 및 수평 편파를 고려하여 반사 특성 및 RCS 감소율을 비교 분석하였다. EGS의 입사각 ${\theta}_i$가 $0^{\circ}$로 입사하는 입사파의 경우엔 편파에 따른 반사 특성 및 RCS 감소율이 크게 차이가 나지 않았음을 확인하였으며, 입사파의 입사각의 크기가 커지게 될수록 편파에 따른 반사 특성의 차이가 더 크게 나타남을 보였다. RCS 특성의 경우, 입사파의 입사각의 크기가 커지게 되어도 EGS의 수직 방향에서의 RCS 감소율은 약 2 dB 차이를 보이며, 입사각과 편파에 따른 RCS 특성은 유지됨을 확인하였다.
