초록

본 논문은 F-16 전투기 축소모델을 사용한 위상비교 방향 탐지 장치의 방위각 정확도 시험에 대해서 기술하였다. 전투기 하부면에 안테나를 배치하면 항공기 구조물에 의한 전파 반사가 일어나서 방위각 측정오차가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 F-16 전투기를 5:1로 축소 모델링하고 전투기 하부면에 5개 안테나를 원형으로 설치한 다음 $0-360^{\circ}$ 방위각에서 $1^{\circ}$ 간격으로 전파를 수신하였다. 이 때 5개 안테나에 수신되는 전파의 위상을 수치해석으로 계산하여 방향 탐지정확도 시험을 실시하였다. 축소모델을 사용해서 시험한 위상비교 방향 탐지 방식의 방위각 오차는 신호잡음세기가 0dB 이상인 경우 평균 $0.5^{\circ}$ 이하로 측정되어서 전투기의 위상비교 방향 탐지 장치 설계에 유용하게 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This paper describes the azimuth accuracy test of phase comparison direction finding method using F-16 fighter scale-down model. When the antennas are placed on the bottom of a fighter, reflection signals caused by an aircraft structure arises and an azimuth error occurs. In this research, the F-16 fighter scale-down model was made to 5:1, and five antennas were placed on the bottom of the model, then the radio waves of emitters were received by the antennas in the $0-360^{\circ}$ azimuth angles. The accuracy test was performed by numerically analyzing the phases of the radio waves received by the five antennas. The azimuth error of the phase comparison direction finding with scale-down model was measured to be less than $0.5^{\circ}$ when the signal noise ratio was larger then 0dB, and it could be very useful for the design of the phase comparison direction finding method of the fighter.
