RADAR CROSS SECTION REDUCTION USING POLARIZATION CANCELLATION APPROACH

Monopole Antenna Radar Cross Section Reduction with Plasma Helix

In this paper, a new method for radar cross section reduction of a monopole antenna is proposed. In this method, a plasma helix like fluorescent bulbs is placed around the antenna element. The selected plasma parameter for this medium acts as an absorber without disturbing the antenna performance. The simulations show that radar cross section of simulated antenna is reduced in a wide frequency ...

Broadband and Broad-angle Polarization-independent Metasurface for Radar Cross Section Reduction

In this work, a broadband and broad-angle polarization-independent random coding metasurface structure is proposed for radar cross section (RCS) reduction. An efficient genetic algorithm is utilized to obtain the optimal layout of the unit cells of the metasurface to get a uniform backscattering under normal incidence. Excellent agreement between the simulation and experimental results show tha...

Radar Cross Section Reduction of a Cavity in the Ground Plane: Te Polarization

The reduction of backscatter radar cross section(RCS) in TE polarization for a rectangular cavity embedded in the ground plane is investigated in this paper. It is established by placing a thin, multilayered radar absorbing material(RAM) with possibly different permittivities at the bottom of the cavity. A minimization problem with respect to the backscatter RCS is formulated to determine the s...

Radar Cross Section Model Optimisation Using Genetic Algorithms

Many missile–target simulation systems use random numbers to mimic the effects of a fluctuating target Radar Cross Section (RCS) in an attempt to minimise simulation times. In this paper a Genetic Algorithm is used to optimise the complexity of a pointscatterer model with a realistic radar cross section, ultimately allowing real measured data to be used in simulations. The performance of the ge...
