Abstract

To satisfy the operational requirements of surveillance radar and the operational concept of a ship combat system, an active-array-type antenna was designed using solid-state transmitters and receivers. The arrangement of the constituent electronic components of the antenna system, considerably large in size, and therefore, the antenna needs to be housed in a box. The rotational antenna system installed on a ship mast is installed in a sealed housing to protect the interior equipment from environmental conditions. The outer shape of the housing is that the antenna should be capable of rotating normally despite strong winds. Furthermore, in recent times, designs with low radar cross section (RCS) have attracted attention from the viewpoint of improving the stealth of the ship. In this light, four types of models are proposed for the outer shape design of the antenna system, and they are investigated from the viewpoint of low RCS design as well as wind load.

함정 전투체계의 운용개념 및 탐색 레이더의 운용성능을 고려하여 설계된 안테나는 반도체형 송수신기들로 구성된 능동배열안테나 시스템이다. 안테나 시스템을 구성하는 전자장비들을 배치하면, 전체 형상은 상당히 큰 크기의 박스 형태가 된다. 함정 마스트에 장착되어 기계적으로 회전하는 안테나 시스템은 가혹한 외부 환경으로부터 내부 장비를 보호하기 위해 밀폐된 하우징을 사용한다. 하우징의 외부형상을 결정할 때, 기존 설계는 강풍이 존재하더라도 정상 회전 유지가 중요한 설계 고려 요소이다. 최근에 함정의 생존성을 증대시키기 위해 저피탐 설계가 요구된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 저피탐 설계요소를 추가하여 제안된 4 가지 모델에 대해서 외부 형상 설계를 분석하였다.
