Abstract:
In this paper, a segmented cylindrical metal surface based on an optimal arrangement is proposed to achieve ultrawideband and wide-angle radar cross section (RCS) reduction. Firstly, a multi-stage semi-cylindrical surface that uses the difference in radius between each cylinder to achieve phase cancellation is designed. The PSO algorithm is used to obtain the best length of each cylinder. Then, each semi-cylinder is equally divided into a certain number of sub-surfaces. Subsequently, in the axial direction, the sequence of these sub-surfaces with different radii is disrupted according to the optimal arrangement to form discontinuous surface reflection phases. A 10-dB RCS reduction under normal incidence is achieved from 4.36 to 20.6 GHz, and the bandwidth ratio reaches 4.72:1. The theoretical analysis and simulated results are in good agreement with the measured results, and the design has an important reference value for ultrawideband monostatic and bistatic RCS reductions for cylinder-like targets.
