초록
첨단 전자무기체계의 지속적인 발전으로 인하여 현대전의 승패는 적 레이더 탐지의 회피에 크게 좌우된다고 할 수 있다. 반사되는 레이더의 탐지신호를 최소화시키기 위한 다양한 연구가 수행되어 왔는데, 본 연구에서는 뛰어난 기계적, 전자기적 물성으로 응용분야가 지속적으로 확대되고 있는 섬유강화 복합재료를 이용하여 레이더 전자파 흡수체(Radar absorbing structure, RAS)를 제작하고 레이더 단면적(Radar cross section, RCS)을 평가하였다. 유리섬유 복합재에 뛰어난 유전적 특성을 지닌 나노 크기의 카본블랙(Carbon-black)을 첨가하여 흡수층을 구성하고, 반사특성이 탁월한 탄소섬유 복합재를 후면의 반사층으로 배치하여 "C" 및 "U" 형상의 하이브리드 복합재 RAS 쉘을 제작하였다. RAS 쉘의 제작간 서로 다른 두 재료의 열적 물성치 차이로 스프링 백이라 불리는 변형이 발생하였는데, 금형의 굽힘각도 제어를 통하여 효과적으로 보정할 수 있었다. 또한 상용 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ANSYS를 이용하여 스프링 백 보정 결과를 예측하고 실험결과와 비교하였다. 제작된 RAS 쉘의 RCS는 근사적 계산기법인 물리광학법을 이용하여 예측하고 컴팩트 레인지(Compact range)를 이용하여 측정한 실험결과와 비교하였다. 두가지 형상의 RAS 모두 측정결과와 예측된 RCS 값이 일치하며 우수한 레이더 전자파 흡수 특성을 지닌 것을 확인하였다.
Abstract
The avoidance of enemy's radar detection is very important issue in the modern electronic weapon system. Researchers have studied to minimize reflected signals of radar. In this research, two types of radar absorbing structure (RAS), "C"-type shell and "U"-type shell, were fabricated using fiber-reinforced composite materials and their radar cross section (RCS) were evaluated. The absorption layer was composed of glass fiber reinforced epoxy and nano size carbon-black, and the reflection layer was fabricated with carbon fiber reinforced epoxy. During their manufacturing process, undesired thermal deformation (so called spring-back) was observed. In order to reduce spring-back, the bending angle of mold was controlled by a series of experiments. The spring-back of parts fabricated by using compensated mold was predicted by finite element analysis (ANSYS). The RCS of RAS shells were measured by compact range and predicted by physical optics method. The measured RCS data was well matched with the predicted data.
