In this paper, a multilayer radar absorbing structure was designed using the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, and the characteristics of the multilayer radar absorbing structure were analyzed. It was shown that design values can be derived quickly and accurately by applying PSO to the design of a multilayer radar absorbing structure, and it is also shown that the optimal multilayer radar absorbing structure can be designed especially for an oblique incident. In addition, it was shown that the optimal value that meets the performance requirements can be determined even in a combination of various design parameters. It is presented through a comprehensive flowchart including the equations and detailed descriptions of all variables for each step. From the results of this paper, it is possible to omit complex and many calculations for designing a multilayer radar absorbing structure, and it is possible to use various composite materials. It can be utilized in the design and development of multilayer radar absorbing structures.

FMM(Fast Multipole Method) is suitable numerical method for radar cross section calculation of arbitrary large conducting bodies due to reduction of computation time. The accuracy of the numerical results, however, can influenced by selection of grouping method and segment length, in particular, far the case that cross section of the scatter is of the narrow width elliptical type. So, we describe the FMM method which can be deal effectively with such difficulties for both TM and TE polarization case. In order to check the present method the results are compared with those obtained by Method of Moments.

In this paper, we present the scattering characteristics of infinite and finite array using method of moment (MoM) with Floquet harmonics and asymptotic waveform evaluation (AWE) technique. First, infinite cylindrical dipole array is analyzed using the MoM with entire domain basis function and cylindrical Floquet harmonics. To provide the validity of results, we fabricated the cylindrical dipole array and measured the transmission characteristics. The results show good agreements. Second, we analyzed the scattering characteristics of finite array. A large simulation time is needed to obtain the scattering characteristics of finite array over wide frequency range because Floquet harmonics can't be applied. So, we used the MoM with AWE technique using Taylor series and Pade approximation to overcome the shortcomings of conventional MoM. We calculated the radar cross section (RCS) as scattering characteristics using the proposed method in this paper and the conventional MoM for finite planar slot array, finite spherical slot array, and finite cylindrical dipole array, respectively. The compared results agree well and show that the proposed method in this paper is good for electromagnetic analysis of finite FSS.

A 3-D surveillance radar is a pulsed-doppler radar to provide various target information, such as range, doppler and angle by performing TWS. This paper introduces HW/SW architecture of radar signal processing board to process in real-time using high-speed multiple DSP(Digital Signal Processor) based on COTS. Moreover, we introduced a implemented algorithm consisted of clutter map creation/renewal, FIR(Finite Impulse Response) filter for rejection of zero velocity components, doppler filter, hybrid CFAR and finally presented computational burden of each algorithm by performing operational test using a beacon.

The electromagnetic wave scattering problems from inhomogeneous material bodies are considered. The formulation is made in terms of mixed potentials for the moment methods (MoM). The surfaces of a three-dimensional inhomogeneous scatterer of arbitrary shape are divide into triangular patches for descretization. Application of the boundary conditions leads to the coupled surface integral equations to be satisfied for the unknown surface equivalent electric and magnetic currents. The radar cross-section (RCS) for some structures is computed and the results are compared with the reported data.

In this paper, we present a new combined field integral equation (CFIE) formulation for the analysis of electromagnetic scattering from arbitrarily shaped three-dimensional perfectly conducting and piecewise homogeneous dielectric composite body. The conducting/dielectric structures are approximated by planar triangular patches, which have the ability to conform to any geometrical surface. The surface covering the conducting body is replaced by an equivalent surface electric current and the surface of the dielectric by equivalent electric and magnetic currents. The all equivalent currents are approximated in terms of RWG (Rao, Wilton, Glisson) functions. The objective of this paper is to illustrate that the CFIE is a valid methodology in removing defects, which occur at a frequency corresponding to an internal resonance of the structure. Numerical results are presented and compared with solutions obtained using other formulations.

An improved method of moments using a hybrid Galerkin-interpolation technique for numerical analysis of electromagnetic wave scattering in the 3-dimensional space is presented in this paper. Basically, the EFIE(electric field integral equation) and RWG(Rao-Wilton-Glisson) basis function are used to compute a property of electromagnetic wave scattering. We propose a hybrid technique combining the existing Galerkin's method with the interpolation method to improve the efficiency of the numerical computation. Then, an index of relative distance of each cells was defined to distinguish the relatively far elements, which interpolation method can be applied. To verify the performance of the proposed technique, the analytical Mie-series solution was used to compute the theoretical RCS of a conducting sphere for the purpose of comparison. We also applied this hybrid technique to various scatterers such as trihedral/omni-directional corner-reflectors to analyze the radar backscattering properties.

As the latest weapon systems and electronic equipments are increasingly demanding stealth technology to improve the survivability of allies, it is necessary to implement low-observability technology that reduces the radar cross section(RCS). In order to implement this stealth technology, a method for low RCS characteristics by applying a shape design or a electromagnetic wave absorber is widely used. However, active phased array antennas have structural limitations in shape design, also when a absorber is applied to it, the performance of the antenna is degraded. Therefore, in this paper, in order to realize the low RCS characteristics of the active phased array antenna operating in the X-band, individual radiating elements suitable for applying the radio wave absorber were selected, and a 13x13 array antenna was designed and manufactured. Next, by comparing the measured results of the relative RCS and electrical performance for the manufactured antenna according to the presence and type of the absorber, it is shown that the electrical performance is maintained at an equal or higher level while obtaining the low RCS characteristics. Thereby the method proposed in this paper for implementing the low RCS characteristics was validated. Finally, it was confirmed that when the wave absorber is applied to the array antenna, the limitation of its performance deterioration can be overcome.
