Technical Field

The invention relates to the technical field of super-surface stealth, in particular to a concave-convex curved carpet stealth coat and a design method thereof.

Background

Super-surfaces have received much attention in the field of electromagnetic engineering due to their unique electromagnetic properties and strong electromagnetic steering capabilities. Compared with the three-dimensional volume metamaterial, the metamaterial has the advantages of thin super-surface section, light weight, easiness in universality and easiness in integration, and is further applied to the aspects of design and equipment combat effectiveness improvement of various electromagnetic devices, such as a super lens, a polarization converter, a vortex beam generator and the like. The radar stealth technology based on the super surface provides possibility for equipment to discover and eliminate enemies in a battlefield in the future in order to improve the battle effectiveness and viability of the equipment on the battlefield. At present, the electromagnetic super-surface realizes the uniform scattering of incident waves through phase control or reduces Radar Cross-Section (RCS) by using two schemes of loss of the incident waves by using a resistance material, thereby achieving the purpose of Radar stealth. However, the above two schemes only have a good stealth effect on a target using air as background information, and still have great limitations on stealth ground targets. Therefore, by analyzing the electromagnetic scattering characteristics of the target and the ground, researchers have proposed the concept of carpet camouflaging.

However, due to the limitation of engineering processing technology, most of the super-surface carpet camouflaging clothes reported at present are formed by splicing two-dimensional plane structures, and edges and corners generated at different splicing positions seriously influence the working performance of the carpet camouflaging clothes. Even though work has reported camisole garments, the camisole garments still do not achieve a camisole target. More importantly, the splicing structure cannot be conformed to the concealed target with any shape, which seriously limits the application of the super-surface carpet concealed clothes in complex electromagnetic environment.

In the simulation, the cloaking garment was first excited with a normally incident x-polarized plane wave. In addition, boundary conditions in the x direction, the y direction and the z direction are all set as open add space, and the near-field and far-field distribution conditions are obtained by setting a near-field monitor and a far-field monitor, so that the performance of the stealth clothes is further characterized.

In order to embody the function of the concave-convex curved carpet stealth clothes, simulation results of bare metal, a plane metal floor and the carpet stealth clothes with the same size and shape are compared and analyzed, near-far field results at three different frequencies (12.5GHz, 13GHz and 13.5GHz) are calculated, and the results are shown in figure 8. However, when the rugged carpet camouflage is introduced, the electromagnetic wave is mirrored in the normal incidence direction due to the super-surface unit compensating for the extra phase accumulated by the different optical paths, and the electric field intensity in other directions is suppressed to a relatively low level. Comparing far-field directional diagrams of the stealth clothes and the metal floor can find that at three frequencies, the electromagnetic waves incident on the super-surface stealth clothes are reflected like the electromagnetic waves incident on a plane metal plate in a mirror image mode. The simulation results of the three different conditions prove that the carpet stealth clothes can eliminate the influence of the target on the reflected wave, so that the target covered by the stealth clothes has a mirror reflection wavefront similar to that of a plane floor, and further, enemy radars can be puzzled, and the aim of stealthing the ground target is fulfilled.

The radar stealth performance of the carpet stealth coat is further researched, and simulation calculation and discussion are further carried out on the near-field electric field distribution of the carpet stealth coat. In the simulation process, the reflected electric field of the target is obtained by setting the electric field monitors at 3 frequencies, and the electric field obtained by the near field monitor comprises a reflected field and an incident field because the carpet camisole works in a reflection mode. To obtain a clean target reflection field, the incident field is subtracted from the obtained mixed field in subsequent data processing to calculate the final reflection field of the target, and the result is shown in fig. 9. In fig. 9, (a) (d) (g) is a result of near field electric field distribution of bare metal, (b) (e) (h) is a result of near field electric field distribution of the camouflage cover of the present invention, and (c) (f) (i) is a result of near field electric field distribution of the metal floor.

As shown in fig. 9 (a) (d) (g), the consistency of the reflected wave fronts of the mirror images of the bare metal targets is destroyed and the reflected wave fronts are severely distorted at 3 representative frequencies compared with the planar metal floor. However, in (b) (e) (h) of fig. 9, since the phase difference accumulated by the optical path difference is compensated by the super surface unit after the carpet camouflage clothing is introduced, the phase and amplitude of the mirror reflected wavefront are restored, the electromagnetic wave is reflected with a parallel wavefront, and the reflected wavefront is restored to a level similar to the metal floor reflected wavefront in (c) (f) (i) of fig. 9. The near-far field simulation results prove that the carpet stealth clothes can eliminate the influence of the target on the reflected wave, recover the mirror reflection wavefront and achieve the aim of stealthing the ground target. In addition, simulation results also prove that the carpet stealth coat can keep a good stealth effect in a frequency band of 12.5-13.5 GHz, and the carpet stealth coat has great practical application value.

And (2) simulation experiment II:

the simulation experiment is used for verifying the electromagnetic property of the concave-convex curved carpet stealth coat under the oblique incidence of 15 degrees of the x polarized wave.

In practical applications, the incident electromagnetic wave is often irradiated on the target surface at a certain angle. Therefore, the simulation experiment also researches the stealth performance of the concave-convex curved carpet under the incident angle of 15 degrees. In the simulation setup, the incident angle of the plane wave was set to-15 °, and the other conditions remained unchanged from the simulation experiment. The same near-far field analysis method is adopted to explore the stealth performance of the carpet stealth coat under oblique incidence. The far-field pattern simulation results of different targets at three frequencies at oblique incidence are shown in fig. 10. In fig. 10, (a) (d) (g) is a far field electric field distribution result of bare metal, (b) (e) (h) is a far field electric field distribution result of the camouflage cover of the present invention, and (c) (f) (i) is a far field electric field distribution result of the metal floor.

In fig. 10 (a), (d) and (g), when an electromagnetic wave is irradiated on a bare metal target surface at an incident angle of-15 °, the electromagnetic wave is reflected in a plurality of directions in space, and the reflection behavior shows an irregular characteristic. However, when the electromagnetic wave is incident on the stealth surface of the carpet, as shown in fig. 10 (b) (e) (h), the reflected wave is reflected at the same angle in the direction of 15 °, and the effect is similar to that when the electromagnetic wave is incident on the flat metal floor. The simulation results fully prove that the carpet stealth clothes designed by the invention have the function of hiding the ground target within the bandwidth of 12.5-13.5 GHz.

To further verify the working performance of the carpet camouflage cover of the present invention, the simulation experiment also conducted a study on the near field electric field of the carpet camouflage cover, and the results are shown in fig. 11, wherein (a) (d) (g) is the result of the near field electric field distribution of bare metal, (b) (e) (h) is the result of the near field electric field distribution of the carpet camouflage cover of the present invention, and (c) (f) (i) is the result of the near field electric field distribution of metal floor.

The near field electric fields of the bare metal target and the carpet stealth coat are respectively compared with the near field electric field of the plane metal floor, so that the bare metal target has a distorted reflection wavefront, the reflected electromagnetic wave wavefront is corrected after the super-surface stealth coat is introduced, the reflected waves are emitted in the direction of 15 degrees of the consistent wave front, the electromagnetic wave reflection behavior is similar to the metal floor reflection behavior, and the expected design effect is achieved. It is worth pointing out that the reflected wave front in the boundary region of the stealth clothes is inconsistent, and the phenomenon is mainly caused by the coupling between the air boundary and the electric field boundary in the simulation process. However, in practical application, because the electric field is also present in the air around the stealth carpet, the coupling phenomenon disappears, the wave front is restored to a normal state, and the normal operation of the stealth clothes can be ensured. The simulation results fully prove that the designed carpet stealth clothes can still achieve the expected stealth effect within the frequency band of 12.5-13.5 GHz at the incident angle of 15 degrees.

And (3) simulation experiment III:

since the super-surface elements that make up the carpet camouflage in the present invention are isotropic structures with four-fold rotational symmetry, the super-surface should exhibit polarization insensitive properties. In order to verify the polarization insensitivity of the carpet stealth clothes, the simulation experiment simulates the far-field pattern and the near-field electric field distribution of the carpet stealth clothes under the excitation of y polarized waves by adopting the same characterization method. In the simulation setup, except for the polarization of the incident electromagnetic wave being different, the setup conditions are kept unchanged from the simulation experiment. In the data processing process, the mixed field (the reflection field and the incident field) is subtracted from the incident field to obtain a pure target reflection field.

The results of the electromagnetic reflection behaviors of the carpet camouflage under different incidence conditions are shown in fig. 12 and 13, wherein fig. 12 is a far-field electric field result, fig. 13 is a near-field electric field result, and as can be seen from the far-field and near-field simulation results shown in fig. 12 and 13, under the incidence of the y-polarized wave, the super-surface carpet camouflage has the same wave front reflection behavior as the incidence of the x-polarized wave, that is, the reflected wave is reflected along the preset direction with the consistent wave front, which strongly proves the polarization insensitivity of the carpet camouflage.

The first embodiment is as follows:

in order to carry out experimental verification, a concave-convex curved carpet stealth coat sample is processed by using the design method in the invention for experimental testing. The processing flow mainly comprises two parts: the metal unit structure on the top layer is firstly printed on an F4B ultrathin medium plate with the thickness of 0.1mm by adopting the PCB technology. Then, an ABS-M30 resin dielectric sheet having an intermediate thickness of 3mm, in which the dielectric constant of ABS-M30 was 2.7 and the electric tangent loss was 0.005, was processed by 3D printing. Finally, the above parts are assembled manually. The detailed sample diagram and assembly flow of the various parts is shown in fig. 14. When assembling each part of sample, adopting A-B glue to bond each sample together, firstly, bonding the ultrathin copper foil to the bottom of the 3D printing medium plate; and then adhering the ultrathin top layer structure to the corresponding position of the dielectric plate. Finally, carpet camouflage samples of the present invention were assembled.

And carrying out experimental verification on the assembled carpet camouflage sample, wherein the experiment comprises a far field test and a near field test, the far field test is as shown in figure 15, the far field test is used for testing the distribution of a far field electric field, during the test, a transmitting antenna working at 2-18 GHz and the super-surface camouflage are fixed together and arranged in the center of cylindrical foam capable of rotating around a central shaft, and a standard gain receiving antenna working at 8-18 GHz is arranged on the cylindrical foam which is 10m away from the sample and used for receiving a reflection field. All electromagnetic wave signals are transmitted by an AV3672B vector network analyzer in the test process.

Near-field experimental environment as shown in fig. 16, the present example only tested the near-field electric field distribution of the sample under normal incidence due to the limitations of the experimental site and the experimental equipment. In the experiment, the sample was placed on a foam cylinder having a certain height. In order to avoid the interference of the surrounding environment with the experimental result, a piece of wave-absorbing material is arranged behind the sample. A linear polarization antenna working at 2-18 GHz is arranged at a position 0.8m away from the surface of a sample, and the electromagnetic wave incident on the surface of the sample is ensured to be a plane wave. A 6mm long monopole antenna acts as a receiving antenna to detect the electromagnetic field of the sample in the plane xoz. The monopole antenna is fixed on a 2-dimensional plane automatic scanning system, the maximum scanning area is 0.36m multiplied by 0.3m, and the step length is 5 mm. The transmitting horn and the receiving antenna are connected to two ports of the vector network analyzer through microwave cables.

The far field and near field test results under different incidence conditions are shown in fig. 17 and fig. 18, and it can be seen from fig. 17 and fig. 18 that the experimental test results are well matched with the simulation results, and further prove that the carpet stealth coat can indeed eliminate the influence of the target on the reflected wave in the frequency band of 12.5-13.5 GHz, and correct the distorted reflected wave front, so that the electromagnetic wave incident on the stealth coat and the electromagnetic wave incident on the metal plane have the same mirror reflection wave front, thereby playing the role of stealth ground target.
