Design of synthetic aperture radar low-intercept radio frequency stealth

Not confined to a certain point,such as waveform,this paper systematically studies the low-intercept radio frequency(RF)stealth design of synthetic aperture radar(SAR)from the system level.The study is carried out from two levels.In the first level,the maximum low-intercept range equation of the conventional SAR system is deduced firstly,and then the maximum low-intercept range equation of the multiple-input multiple-output SAR system is deduced.In the second level,the waveform design and imaging method of the low-intercept RF SAR system are given and verified by simulation.Finally,the main technical characteristics of the lowintercept RF stealth SAR system are given to guide the design of low-intercept RF stealth SAR system.

A new evaluation model of comprehensive radio frequency stealth performance of radar

The detection capabilities of passive electronic warfare reconnaissance equipment have substantially increased during recent years.Correspondingly,the radar equipment is required to take various means to improve the radio frequency(RF)stealth performance to ensure the transmitted RF signal does not get intercepted.However,traditional evaluation methods on RF stealth performance cannot accurately evaluate the RF stealth capabilities of new system radar.In this study,a joint interception probability evaluation model on RF stealth performance was established,which divided the interception process into two parts:front interception and system interception.Various RF stealth means adopted by different radar equipment were taken into consideration to improve the applicability of this model.Simulation results show that this model is able to effectively characterize almost all the aspects of the RF stealth features and can serve as a good reference to evaluate RF radar stealth performance comprehensively.

Experimental Investigation on Electromagnetic Attenuation by Low Pressure Radio-Frequency Plasma for Cavity Structure

This paper reports on an experiment designed to test electromagnetic（EM）attenuation by radio-frequency（RF）plasma for cavity structures.A plasma reactor,in the shape of a hollow cylinder,filled with argon gas at low pressure,driven by a RF power source,was produced by wave-transmitting material.The detailed attenuations of EM waves were investigated under different conditions：the incident frequency is 1-4 GHz,the RF power supply is 13.56 MHz and1.6（-3） k W,and the argon pressure is 75-200 Pa.The experimental results indicate that 5-15 d B return loss can be obtained.From a first estimation,the electron density in the experiment is approximately（1.5-2.2）×1016m（-3）and the collision frequency is about 11（-3）0 GHz.The return loss of EM waves was calculated using a finite-difference time-domain（FDTD）method and it was found that it has a similar development with measurement.It can be confirmed that RF plasma is useful in the stealth of cavity structures such as jet-engine inlet.

Sensor radiation interception risk control in target tracking

This paper is mainly on the problem of radiation interception risk control in sensor network for target tracking.Firstly,the sensor radiation interception risk is defined as the product of the interception probability and the cost caused by the interception.Secondly,the radiation interception probability model and cost model are established,based on which the calculation method of interception risk can be obtained.Thirdly,a sensor scheduling model of radiation risk control is established,taking the minimum interception risk as the objective function.Then the Hungarian algorithm is proposed to obtain sensor scheduling scheme.Finally,simulation experiments are mad to prove the effectiveness of the methods proposed in this paper,which shows that compared with the sensor radiation interception probability control method,the interception risk control method can keep the sensor scheduling scheme in low risk as well as protect sensors of importance in the sensor network.

Self-adapting radiation control method for RFS in tracking

The aim of this paper is to achieve the radio frequency stealth(RFS) during the course of tracking by controlling the radiation energy and the interval of a radar. Firstly, we build the model of probability of interception with the once radiation during the course of tracking. Secondly, we establish the model of the cumulative probability of interception to describe the effect of RFS throughout the tracking process and obtain two solutions that are minimizing the probability of interception and the radiation times to reduce the cumulative probability of interception. Thirdly, we propose a self-adapting radiation energy control method(SARE)to minimize the probability of interception. Fourthly, we propose a self-adapting radiation interval control method(SARI) to minimize radiation times. Fifthly, combining SARE with SARI, we propose a SARE-SARI control method(SAEI) during the course of tracking.Finally, we compare SAEI with two others by simulation, and the results show the effect of RFS of SAEI is better than the other two,but we have to make a trade-off between the ability of RFS and the effect of tracking.
