In order to avoid the high observability due to the cavity resonance or electromagnetic wave leakages from the bridge of a battleship or the cockpit of an aircraft, this paper presents a transparent conductive oxide coated structure to prevent the incoming/outgoing electromagnetic waves. Currently, most of the RCS reduction technologies were focused on radar absorbing material such as paints based on conductive or magnetic materials in the fuselage, and there is not much research on countermeasures for achieving the low observability of materials that required optical transparency in actual weapon systems. In this study, the transmission/reflection and absorption performance of the ITO coated structure according to the change of the surface resistance of the transparent conductor were analyzed. Finally, the relationship between the electromagnetic and optical characteristics was established through fabrication and measurement.

The absorption and the interference shielding of the electromagnetic wave problem have been a very important issue for commercial and military purposes. This study dealt with the simulation reflection loss for electromagnetic absorbing sandwich type structures in X-band(8.2Ghz~12.4GHz). Glass/epoxy composites containing conductive carbon blacks were used for the face sheets and styrofoams were used for the core. Their permittivities in X-band were measured using the transmission line technique. Simulation results of 3-1ayered sandwich type structures showed the reflection loss using the theory about transmission and reflection in a multi-layered medium.

In this study, the composites containing carbon black (CB) or carbon fibers were prepared, and the microwave absorbing properties and the absorption mechanism of them were investigated and discussed in the frequency range of 2-18 GHz, respectively. The optimum mass fraction of CB has been found as 6%, and the carbon fibers were discovered to absorb radar wave either under parallel or vertical polarization, the suitable gap distance between each bundle of which was 5 mm. According to the results of the single constitute absorber samples, the structured composites with the two kinds of absorbers combination were fabricated and studied at 2-18 GHz. The top layer absorbers affect the absorption performance a lot; the maximum reflection loss of composites with CB as top layer absorbers was -31.8 dB with the frequency range of 2.4 GHz below -10 dB, and the other type with CFs as the top layer absorbers obtained the reflection loss peak value of -31.4 dB with 2 GHz below-10 dB.

본 논문에서는 복합재 풍력 블레이드를 위한 CNT 코팅 유리섬유의 전자기적/기계적 적용성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. MW급 이상의 대형 복합재 블레이드는 민수용/군수용 레이더와의 신호간섭 문제로 인한 발전단지 위치선정 제약과 무게 증가에 따른 발전효율 저해, 구조적 건전성 부족에 따른 수리비용 증가의 당면과제를 안고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위한 방안으로 CNT 코팅 유리섬유를 제안하였다. 먼저 제안된 CNT 코팅 공정을 통해 유리섬유 표면에 CNT를 강력히 코팅하고, Va-RTM을 통해 CNT 코팅/유리섬유 에폭시 복합재를 제작하여 전자기적/기계적 물성을 평가하였다. 또한 전자파 흡수체 설계/제작 및 시험/평가를 통해 X-band의 8.3~12.1 GHZ에서 90% 이상 전자파 흡수성능을 가짐을 검증하였다. 이와 더불어 기계적 물성 시험/평가를 통해서 인장, 압축, 면내전단 강도/강성의 모든 기계적 물성이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 고온용 Circuit-analog 전파흡수구조(CA-RAS)를 제안하고, 350℃ 및 열 수분 환경에서의 전파흡수성능 및 인장 물성을 평가하였다. Glass/cyanate ester와 사각형 저항 패턴층을 통해 CA-RAS를 구현하였으며, 자유공간 측정장비를 이용하여 350℃ 환경과 열 수분 환경 노출 후의 반사손실을 측정했다. 또한 ASTM D638 규격에 따라 환경 노출 후의 인장강도를 측정했다. 제안된 CA-RAS는 350℃까지 4 GHz 이상의 -10 dB 흡수 대역과 -20 dB 이상의 피크 값을 보였으며, 열 수분 환경 노출 후에도 전파 흡수 성능의 저하가 확인되지 않았다. 또한 환경 노출 후에도 Glass/cyanate ester의 상온 인장강도 대비 95% 이상의 인장강도 값이 확인되었다. 이를 통해 본 연구에서는 제안된 전파흡수구조의 고온 및 열 수분 환경에 노출되는 저피탐 구조물로서의 적용 가능성을 확인하였다.

In this paper we present an alternative approach to addressing the problem of designing cloaks for radar targets, which have been dealt with in the past by using the transformation optics (TO) algorithm. The present design utilizes realistic materials, which can be fabricated in the laboratory, and are wideband as well as relatively insensitive to polarization and incident angle of the incoming wave. The design strategy, presented herein, circumvents the need to use metamaterials for cloak designs that are inherently narrowband, dispersive and highly sensitive to polarization and incident angle. A new interpretation of the TO algorithm is presented and is employed for the design of radar cross section-reducing absorbers for arbitrary targets, and not just for canonical shapes, e.g., cylinders. The topic of performance enhancement of the absorbers by using graphene materials and embedded frequency structure surfaces is briefly mentioned. The design procedure for planar absorbing covers is presented and their performance as wrappers of general objects is discussed. A number of test cases are included as examples to illustrate the application of the proposed design methodology, which is a modification of the classical TO paradigm.

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.

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.
