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.

In this paper, transparent circuit analog radar absorbing structure with angular stability for stealth aircraft canopy was proposed and designed. To obtain wideband electromagnetic absorption, optical transparency and smaller thickness, we proposed the novel FSS(Frequency Selective Surface) for X-band and implemented the resistive FSS and PEC(Perfect Electric Conductor) plane using ITO(Indium Thin Oxide) coating with optical transmissivity of 90 %. Reflection loss characteristics for different incident angles of both TE(Transverse Electric) and TM(Transverse Magnetic) polarizations are presented through simulations. We then fabricated the proposed structure to verify the simulation results. The comparisons between the simulation and measured results show good agreements. The results also show that the proposed radar absorbing structure can provide better frequency stability for different incidence angles and polarizations as well as optical transparency. We can apply this proposed structure to the canopy of stealth aircraft and other stealth applications for visible transparency.

In this paper, we designed the transparent circuit analog radar absorbing structure using printed metal grid mesh for enhanced optical transmittance. To obtain wideband electromagnetic absorption and enhanced optical transparency at X-band, we proposed the resistive FSS(Frequency Selective Surface) using printed metal mesh pattern on transparent glass with PEC(Perfect Electric Conductor) plane using ITO(Indium Thin Oxide) coating. We then fabricated the proposed structure to verify the simulation results obtained from commercial EM simulator. The comparisons between the simulation and measured results show good agreements. The results also show that the proposed radar absorbing structure can provide wideband reflection as well as better optical transparency. We can apply this proposed structure to the canopy of stealth aircraft and other stealth and security applications for visible transparency.

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.

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.

현대에는 전자기파를 이용한 전력 및 신호 전달이 필수적인데, 전자기파를 원하는 경로를 통해 효율적으로 전달하기 위해서는 도파 구조(guided structure)가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 먼저 전파해석 기법인 유한요소법(FEM : Finite Element Method)을 적용하여 도파 구조 중 하나인 2-D/3-D 도파관(waveguide)에 대해 직접 in-house code를 작성하여 전자기 시뮬레이션하였다. 이후 in-house code의 해석 결과를 대표적인 전자파 상용 시뮬레이션 소프트웨어인 HFSS의 결과와 비교하여 해석의 정확성을 검증하였다. 아울러, 전자기 해석에 있어 무한대의 해석 영역을 잘라 해석하기 위해 필수적인 흡수경계조건(ABC : Absorbing Boundary Condition)의 성능을 분석한 후, 병렬화 기법의 적용에 따른 성능 향상을 제시하였다.

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.

군사적 목적뿐만 아니라 상업적 목적에서도 레이더나 기타 전자파를 방출하는 기기들로부터 생성되는 전자파의 흡수 또는 차폐는 매우 중요한 일이다. 본 연구에서는 다른 유전적 성질을 가지는 복합재층을 배열하여 전자기파의 반사를 최소화하는 연구를 수행하였다. Glass fabric/epoxy에 전도성을 가지는 카본블랙 분체를 혼합한 복합재와 Carbon fabric/epoxy 복합재 대만 유전성질을 측정하였고, 이를 이용하여 X-band(8.2 GHz-l2.4GHz)에 대한 전자기파 반사의 최소화 구조를 구성하였다. 두께2.6mm의 다층 구조로 최대 30dB 이상의 반사 손실과 최대 흡수 주파수로부터 2GHz 주파수 대역에 걸쳐 10dB이상의 반사손실을 일으킬 수 있었다.

본 논문은 전파흡수기능을 갖는 경량, 고강도 고분자 복합재료의 재료 설계 및 전각흡수특성에 관한 연구이다. 전송선로 이론을 도입하여 다층구조 전파흡수체의 반사감쇠량 계산에 필요한 이론식을 제시하고, 각 층의 재료정수 및 두께의 함수로 계산한 전파흡수능 결과에 근거하여 각 층의 재질에 적합한 복합재료를 제시하였다. 본 연구에서 가장 중요한 결과는 페라이트 충진재를 사용하지 않은 3층 구조 (표면층/중간층/배면층)의 전파흡수구조재를 설계하였다는 점이다. 표면층 재료로는 저유전율 특성의 유리섬유 복합재료를 사용하고, 중간층 및 배면층에는 유전상수 및 도전손실이 큰 탄소섬유 복합재료를 사용하여 4~12 GHz 주파수 범위에서 10 dB 이상의 전파흡수특성을 얻을 수 있었다. 이에 반하여 흡수층/반사층으로 구성되는 2층 구조의 전파흡수구조재에서는 흡수층에 페라이트 충진재의 사용이 필수적이었다. 반사층 재질로 탄소섬유 복합재료를 사용하고, 횹수층 유리섬유 복합재료에 페라이트 충진재를 약 40 wt% 첨가함으로써 4~12 GHz 주파수 범위에서 10 dB 이상의 전파흡수특성을 얻을 수 있었다.
