초록

항공기의 레이더 반사 면적을 예측하기 위한 수치해석 방법으로 전파기법(Full-wave method) 또는 점근기법(Asymptotic method)이 주로 이용된다. 전파기법은 점근기법에 비하여 상대적으로 정확한 해석결과를 기대할 수 있으나, 점근기법은 수치적으로 효율성이 높아 레이더 반사 면적 해석 시에는 점근 기법이 보다 널리 활용되고 있다. 그러나 점근기법을 이용하여 레이더 반사 면적을 예측할 때 발생하는 오차는 쉽게 예상하기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 쐐기-원통형 해석 모델을 구성하고, 가장자리 형상을 변화시키면서 모멘트법과 물리광학기법의 레이더 반사 면적 예측 결과를 비교하여 물리광학기법의 적용 한계를 분석한다. 마지막으로 레이더 반사 면적 예측 시 물리광학기법의 적용 한계에 대한 기준을 제시하고자 한다.

As a numerical analysis technique to predict the radar cross section of an aircraft, a full wave method or an asymptotic method is mainly used. The full-wave method is expected to be relatively accurate compared with the asymptotic method. The asymptotic method is numerically efficient, and it is more widely used in the RCS analysis. However, the error that occurs when estimating the RCS using the asymptotic method is difficult to predict easily. In this paper, we analyze the allowable limits of physical optics by constructing a wedge-cylinder model and comparing the RCS prediction results between the method of moment and physical optics while changing the edge shape. Finally, this study proposes a criterion for allowable limit of physical optics in the RCS estimation.
