The purpose of this study is to define available microwave absorbing structure for aircraft from in the X-band(8.2~12.4GHz) frequencies. The electromagnetic wave absorption or shielding techniques is an important issue not only for military purpose but also for commercial purposes. Aircraft Radar Absorbing Structure(RAS) is absorbed or scattered propagation waves from the enemy radar. There are absorbing technologies at shaping design techniques and using Radar Absorbing Materials(RAM). RAM is more important because shaping design can't include perfect radar absorbing performance. In this study, based on material properties was introduced RAM and to analyze the each characteristics. Finally, we comparison appropriate RAM for aircraft.

현대 해상전에서 함정의 피탐지율은 생존성에 직접적인 요소이며, 레이다 반사면적(RCS; Radar Cross Section)은 피탐지율에 있어서 주요 변수 중 하나이다. 본 논문에서는 RCS 감소기법 중 하나인 레이다 신호를 흡수하는 특수 재질을 통한 RCS 감소 기법인 RAM(Radar Absorbing Materials) 방법을 이용하여 위협 주파수 대역의 RCS 해석을 수행하였다. 해석 모델은 모형선 모델을 이용하였고, RAM 기법에 적용될 전파흡수체는 최신 전파흡수체 기술인 광대역 메타물질을 적용하였다. 광대역 메타물질은 광대역에서 공진주파수를 갖는 MIK 공진구조와 유연성 기판을 이용하여 모델링을 수행하였고, 광대역 메타물질의 성능 분석을 위하여 전자기파의 흡수율과 반사율에 대한 모의실험을 수행하였다. 또한, 광대역 메타물질 적용에 따른 레이다 반사면적 감소효과를 분석하기 위하여 기존 전파흡수체와의 비교를 통하여 RCS 감소 효과를 분석하였다.

Materials, matrices mixed with various kinds of conductive or magnetic powder, such as ferrite, have been used as the electromagnetic wave absorbing ones, so called RAM(radar absorbing material). The structure that does not only have electromagnetic waves absorbing property like RAM but also supports loads is called RAS(radar absorbing structure). One of the existing manufacturing process of RAS is to compound with conductive powders the glass fiber-reinforced composite with good permeability and the ability to support loads. The process, however, causes a number of problems, such as the degradation in the mechanical properties of the composite, especially, interlamina shear strength. In this study, mechanical properties of glass fabric/epoxy composite containing 7wt% carbon black powders were measured and compared with pure glass fabric/epoxy composites.

An electromagnetic (EM) wave absorber reduces the possibility of radar detection by minimizing the radar cross section (RCS) of structures. In this study, a radar absorbing structure (RAS) was applied to the leading edge of a blended wing body aircraft to reduce RCS in X-band (8.2~12.4GHz) radar. The RAS was composed of a periodic pattern resistive sheet with conductive lossy material and glass-fiber/epoxy composite as a spacer. The applied RAS is a multifunctional composite structure which has both electromagnetic (EM) wave absorbing ability and load-bearing ability. A two dimensional unit absorber was designed first in a flat-plate shape, and then the fabricated leading edge structure incorporating the above RAS was investigated, using simulated and free-space measured reflection loss data from the flat-plate absorber. The leading edge was implemented on the aircraft, and its RCS was measured with respect to various azimuth angles in both polarizations (VV and HH). The RCS reduction effect of the RAS was evaluated in comparison with a leading edge of carbon fabric reinforced plastics (CFRP). The designed leading edge structure was examined through static structural analysis for various aircraft load cases to check structural integrity in terms of margin of safety. The mechanical and structural characteristics of CFRP, RAS and CFRP with RAM structures were also discussed in terms of their weight.

In order to implement broadband RAM's(Radar Absorbing Materials) made up of multiple dielectricl layers, the design variables such as the dielectrci constaints, the depths and the loss tangents of dielectric are optimized. The wave impedances regarding the reflective wave are found in dielectrics, input impedances and reflection coefficients with multiple dielectric layers are derived from the transmission line circuit theory. Finally, minimum average reflective power and optimum design variables are obtained by applying the numerical technique, called modified Powell method. In case of four dielectric layers with inequality constraints in design variables, a quite favourable and feasible result with the total depth of 1.1 cm, the average reflective power of 0.85% over the bradband frequency range is obtained for a specific example.

Nowadays, Unmanned Combat Air Vehicle(UCAV) has become an important aircraft system for the national defense. For its efficiency and survivability, shape optimization of UCAV is an essential part of its design process. In this paper, shape optimization of UCAV was processed for aerodynamic performance improvement and Radar Cross Section(RCS) reduction using Multi Objective Genetic Algorithm(MOGA). Lift and induced drag, friction drag, RCS were calculated using panel method, boundary layer theory, Physical Optics(PO) approximation respectively. In particular, calculation applied Radar Absorbing Material(RAM) was performed for the additional RCS reduction. Results are indicated that shape optimization is performed well for improving aerodynamic performance, reducing RCS. Further study will be performed with higher fidelity tools and consider other design segments including structure.

This paper presents an asymptotic analysis method using the PO(physical optics) approximation technique to analyze the scattering contribution of an electrically large object partially coated with a radar absorbing material(RAM). By using the feature of the PO technique that can calculate the equivalent current value for each mesh independently, instead of analyzing the entire structure, scattering analysis was performed only by calculating the current on the area where the RAM coating is applied. By the numerical examples, the accuracy and the computation time of the proposed method were verified, and the computational efficiency of inverse synthetic aperture radar(ISAR) of the electrically large objects that require enormous resources is improved.

A user friendly computer code(EMCOMST; Electro-Magnetic response for COMposite STructures) was developed which provides with computations of the response characteristics such as reflectance and transmittance to the incident wave angles, frequencies, composite thicknesses, ply orientations, and types of backplate as the linearly polarized transverse electro-magnetic wave is emitted to the advanced composite structures. In this investigation were reviewed the electromagnetic characteristics of the continuous orthotropic fiber-reinforced organic matrix composites with or without ferrite fillers, which are actively applied to low-weight and high-strength aircraft structures. Also were calculated the response of the three layered compound structures which have appropriately stacked above-mentioned materials as transmitting layer, absorbing layer, reflection layer, respectively under the specific thickness constraints for mechanical strength design requirements. For the composite structures presented in this study, minimum reflectance value less than -5㏈ can be obtained in the frequency range of 4 to 12 ㎓. In addition, analysis of structures attached isotropic radar absorbing materials(RAM) is facilitated by putting the material properties in the material input card entries adequately.

UCAV는 적진 중심으로의 침투, 공격 등 적대적 상황에서 임무를 수행하는 것을 목표로 한다. 일차적으로 적의 레이더에 포착되지 않아야 하므로 RF 스텔스 기술의 적용이 필수적이다. 최신 RCS 저감 기술이 적용된 대표적인 비행체로는 Blended Wing Body 형태의 X-47B UCAV이다. 본 연구에서는 X-47B와 유사한 모델 UCAV 형상을 설계한 다음, Ray Launching Geometrical Optics(RL-GO) 기법을 활용하여 모델 UCAV의 고주파수 영역에서의 RCS 특성을 분석하였다. 특히 IR 저감이 고려된 UCAV 형상이 RCS에 미치는 영향성을 조사하였다. 마지막으로 모델 UCAV의 공기 흡입구에 최적화된 RAM을 적용하였을 때의 RCS 변화를 분석하였다.
