초록

본 연구는 레이다 시스템의 성능 검증 및 개선을 위한 표적 신호 모의장비의 표적별 레이다반사면적(RCS) 데이터의 수집 및 분석을 목적으로 민항기(B-747, B-737) 및 전투기(F-16) 기종에 대한 VHF 대역의 모노스태틱/바이스태틱 RCS를 전자기장 분석한 연구이다. 분석에 앞서, 전자기장 분석 도구들에 대한 데이터 교차 검증 및 분석 시간 비교를 통해 소요 시간을 최소화하였으며, 분석 해상도에 따른 보간 오차를 검토하여 분석범위를 선정하였다. 각 기종별로 획득된 RCS 데이터는 입/반사 고각 및 주파수별로 나누어 분석하였으며, 기체 모양 및 입/반사 각도에 따른 RCS 특징을 기술하였다. 마지막으로 RCS 분포 히스토그램을 통해 각 기종별 통계적 RCS 분포값을 제시한다. 향후 본 연구를 통해 획득한 RCS 데이터베이스는 VHF 대역 레이다 시스템의 항적 신호 모의를 위한 신호모사장치에 활용할 예정이다.

In this study, for the purpose of collecting and analyzing target-specific RCS data of target signals simulator for verification/improvement of radar system performance, VHF band monostatic/bistatic RCS of civil aircraft(B-747, B-737) and fighter(F-16) models were analyzed by EM simulation tool. In order to reduce the RCS analysis time, the analysis time and RCS data were compared and cross-verified. Also, the analysis range was selected by examining the interpolation error according to the analysis angle resolution. The RCS data obtained for each model were analyzed separately by the incident/reflection elevation angle and frequency. The RCS characteristics according to the shape of the aircraft and the incident/reflection azimuth angle were described. Finally, the statistical RCS distribution value of each model is presented through RCS distribution histogram analysis. In the future, the RCS database obtained by this study will be used for the target signals simulator of the VHF band radar system.
