The importance of stealth technology is increasing in modern warfare, and Radar Cross Section(RCS) is widely used as an indicator of stealth technology. It is useful to measure RCS using an image-based near-field to far-field transformation algorithm in short-range monostatic conditions. However, the near-field measurement system requires a longer measurement time compared to other methods. In this work, it is proposed to reduce the measured data using an interpolation method in azimuth angular domain. The calculated far-field RCS values according to the sampling rate is shown, and the performance of the algorithm applied with interpolation in the angular domain is presented. It is shown that measurement samples can be reduced several times by using the redundancy in the angular domain while producing results similar to the conventional method.

A planar active retrodirective four-element array with subharmonic phase conjugation mixers based on anti-parallel diode pairs (APDPs) is proposed. As compared to previous phase conjugation mixers using twice RF frequency for LO frequency, the proposed conjugation mixers need only half RF frequency so that it can be easily applied for millimeter-wave applications. Receiving, transmitting, local oscillator, and intermediate frequencies are 5.79, 5.81, 2.9 GHz, and 10 MHz. Monostatic RCS and Bistatic RCS measurements at source locations of $0^{\circ},\;-20^{\circ},\;and\;28^{\circ}$ show good agreement with the calculated data.

역합성 개구 레이다(Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar:ISAR) 영상은 표적의 2차원 RCS(Radar Cross Section) 분포를 나타낸다. 레이더의 LOS(Line Of Sight) 방향으로 진행하는 표적에 대해 바이스태틱 ISAR는 영상의 수직 해상도를 얻을 수 없는 모노스태틱 ISAR의 약점을 보완할 수 있다. 그러나 바이스태틱 ISAR는 모노스태틱 ISAR 비해 긴 처리 시간과 다양한 산란 메커니즘을 가지고 있기 때문에, 바이스태틱 ISAR 영상만을 이용한 표적식별은 비효율적일 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 레이더의 LOS 방향으로 진행하는 표적의 모노스태틱, 바이스태틱 ISAR 영상을 이용하여 표적 식별 성능을 분석하고, 두 레이다의 융합을 통한 표적식별 방법을 제시한다. 시뮬레이션 결과, 융합을 통한 식별 성능이 모노스태틱, 바이스태틱 ISAR 영상만을 이용한 식별 성능보다 더 효율적임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Monostatic RCS analysis of complex structures has been done with a combined method of physical and geometric optics, commonly applied to high frequency electromagnetic backscattering problems. In the analysis, the complex structure is modeled as a number of flat surfaces and the RCS of whole structure is calculated by summing RCS of each surface, which can be obtained from an analytical solution of flat surface phase integral derived from physical optics. The reflected and hidden surfaces are searched by an object precision method based on adaptive triangular beam method, which can take account for effects of multiple reflections and polarizations of electromagnetic wave. The validity of the presented RCS analysis method has been verified by comparing with exact solutions and measured data for various structures.

Surface dielectric barrier discharge (SDBD), which is widely used to control turbulence in aerodynamics, has a significant effect on the radar cross-section (RCS). A four-way linearly synthesized SDBD air plasma actuator is designed to bolster the plasma effects on electromagnetic waves. The diffraction angle is calculated to predict the RCS because of the periodic structure of staggered electrodes. The simplified plasma modeling is utilized to calculate the inhomogeneous surface plasma distribution. Monostatic RCS shows the diffraction in the plane perpendicular to the electrode array and the notable distortion by plasma. In comparison, the overall pattern is maintained in the parallel plane with minor plasma effects. The trends also appear in the bistatic RCS, which has a significant difference in the observation plane perpendicular to the electrodes. The peaks by Bragg's diffraction are shown, and the RCS is reduced by 10 dB in a certain range by the plasma effect. The diffraction caused by the actuator and the inhomogeneous air plasma should be considered in designing an SDBD actuator for a wide range of application.

In this paper, we proposed a two-level feature vector fusion technique to improve the performance of target classification. The proposed method combines feature vectors of the early-time region and late-time region in the first-level fusion. In the second-level fusion, we combine the monostatic and bistatic features obtained in the first level. The radar cross section (RCS) of the 3D full-scale model is obtained using the electromagnetic analysis tool FEKO, and then, the feature vector of the target is extracted from it. The feature vector based on the waveform structure is used as the feature vector of the early-time region, while the resonance frequency extracted using the evolutionary programming-based CLEAN algorithm is used as the feature vector of the late-time region. The study results show that the two-level fusion method is better than the one-level fusion method.

본 논문에서는 임의의 대형구조의 전자기 특성을 효율적으로 해석하기 위해 대표적인 전자기 수치해석 기법의 하나인 모멘트법 기반 직접풀이법 중 CBFM의 원거리 상호작용 계산의 가속화 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 대형구조의 전자기 특성해석을 위해서는 계산시간의 단축이 필수적이며, CBFM 해석법에서 원거리 블록 간의 상호작용을 다중극전개방법을 사용한 근사화를 통해 복잡도를 크게 감소시킨 수식을 도출하였다. 본 논문에서 제안된 새로운 알고리즘을 도체구와 전투기의 레이다 단면적 계산에 적용하여 기존의 CBFM과 비교하여 정확도 손실 없이 계산시간이 각각 34 %, 74 % 단축되어 대형구조 문제해석에 효율적이라는 것을 확인하였다.

Ground-based interceptors(GBI) comprise a major element of the strategic defense against hostile targets like Intercontinental Ballistic Missiles(ICBM) and reentry vehicles(RV) dispersed from them. An optimum design of the subsystems is required to increase the performance and reliability of these GBI. Propulsion subsystem design and optimization is the motivation for this effort. This paper describes an effort in which an entire GBI missile system, including a multi-stage solid rocket booster, is considered simultaneously in a Genetic Algorithm(GA) performance optimization process. Single goal, constrained optimization is performed. For specified payload and miss distance, time of flight, the most important component in the optimization process is the booster, for its takeoff weight, time of flight, or a combination of the two. The GBI is assumed to be a multistage missile that uses target location data provided by two ground based RF radar sensors and two low earth orbit(LEO) IR sensors. 3Dimensional model is developed for a multistage target with a boost phase acceleration profile that depends on total mass, propellant mass and the specific impulse in the gravity field. The monostatic radar cross section (RCS) data of a three stage ICBM is used. For preliminary design, GBI is assumed to have a fixed initial position from the target launch point and zero launch delay. GBI carries the Kill Vehicle(KV) to an optimal position in space to allow it to complete the intercept. The objective is to design and optimize the propulsion system for the GBI that will fulfill mission requirements and objectives. The KV weight and volume requirements are specified in the problem definition before the optimization is computed. We have considered only continuous design variables, while considering discrete variables as input. Though the number of stages should also be one of the design variables, however, in this paper it is fixed as three. The elite solution from GA is passed on to(Sequential Quadratic Programming) SQP as near optimal guess. The SQP then performs local convergence to identify the minimum mass of the GBI. The performance of the three staged GBI is validated using a ballistic missile intercept scenario modeled in Matlab/SIMULINK.
