Research on Radar Cross Section Measurement Based on Near-field Imaging of Cylindrical Scanning

摘要: 该文提出一种基于柱面扫描近场成像的RCS(Radar Cross Section)测量新方法:以理想的各向同性点散射中心模型为核心假设,通过详细的理论推导给出了一种具有通用性的基于柱面扫描近场成像的RCS 测量方法。该方法先得到目标的3 维雷达散射图像,再通过这些等效理想散射中心的散射场叠加获得远处散射场进而给出目标的远场RCS 值。该方法不仅能得到被测目标的3 维雷达散射图像,还能获得一定立体角域的目标远场RCS。相比只能得到2 维雷达散射图以及2 维平面角域RCS 结果的圆迹扫描测试相比,该文所提的柱面扫描测试能得到更多的目标散射信息,具有较强的实用性。仿真结果验证了新方法的可靠性。

Abstract: A new method of Radar Cross Section (RCS) measurement based on near-field imaging of cylindrical scanning surface is proposed. The method is based on the core assumption that the target consists of ideal isotropic scattered centers. Three-dimensional radar scattered images are obtained by using the proposed method, and then to obtain the RCS of the target, the scattered far field is calculated by summing the fields generated by the equivalent scattered centers. Not only three dimensional radar reflectivity images but also the RCS of targets in certain three dimensional angle areas can be obtained. Compared with circular scanning that can only obtain twodimensional radar reflectivity images and RCS results in two-dimensional angle areas, cylindrical scanning can provide more information about the scattering properties of the targets. The method has strong practicability and its validity is verified by simulations. -
