Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive review of plasma-based stealth, covering the basics, methods, parametric analysis, and challenges towards the realization of the idea. The concealment of aircraft from radar sources, or stealth, is achieved through shaping, radar absorbing coatings, engineered materials, or plasma, etc. Plasma-based stealth is a radar cross section (RCS) reduction technique associated with the reflection and absorption of incident electromagnetic (EM) waves by the plasma layer surrounding the structure. A plasma cloud covering the aircraft may give rise to other signatures such as thermal, acoustic, infrared, or visual. Thus it is a matter of concern that the RCS reduction by plasma enhances its detectability due to other signatures. This needs a careful approach towards the plasma generation and its EM wave interaction. The book starts with the basics of EM wave interactions with plasma, briefly discuss the methods used to analyze the propagation characteristics of plasma, and its generation. It presents the parametric analysis of propagation behaviour of plasma, and the challenges in the implementation of plasma-based stealth technology. This review serves as a starting point for the graduate and research students, scientists and engineers working in the area of low-observables and stealth technology.

Download or read book Radar Cross Section Reduction written by Matthew K. M. Yong and published by . This book was released on 1998-03-01 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this thesis is to investigate and evaluate the effectiveness of radar cross section (RCS) reduction by means of the geometric control of discontinuities using serrated edges. Although the use of serrated edges for RCS reduction can be clearly seen on stealth aircraft such as the Northrop B-2, and was mentioned in several papers and references, not much data on the reduction magnitude, the associated geometry, or the design methodology are available in the open literature. Parameters of interest include the number of basic serration cells (triangles) required per wavelength, and the aspect ratio of the triangles that form the zig zags. An infinitely thin metallic plate is considered for the analysis. The RCS of such a plate with serrated edges is computed and compared against the RCS of a plate of the same sized without serrated edges. The infinitely thin assumption is valid if the wing of the aircraft, which is represented by the plate, is thin compared to the wavelength. The results obtained show significant reduction in RCS.

This book was released on 2016-08-29 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on EM propagation characteristics within multilayered plasma-dielectric-metallic media. The method used for analysis is impedance transformation method. Plasma covered radar absorbing material is approximated as a multi-layered dielectric medium. The plasma is considered to be bounded homogeneous/inhomogeneous medium. The reflection coefficient and hence return loss is analytically derived. The role of plasma parameters, such as electron density, collision frequency, plasma thickness, and plasma density profile in the absorption behavior of multi-layered plasma-RAM structure is described. This book provides a clearer picture of EM propagation within plasma. The reader will get an insight of plasma parameters that play significant role in deciding the absorption characteristics of plasma covered surfaces.

Download or read book ON THE THEORY OF THE RADAR PLASMA ABSORPTION EFFECT written by and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The usual manifestation of the phenomenon known as the radar absorption effect is the drastic reduction of the radar cross section of a body when it is surrounded by a plasms sheath having certain spatial configuration and electromagnetic properties. This effect has been observed during the atmospheric reentry of hypersonic test vehicles and in laboratory studies of models in hypersonic flight. A brief review of the hypersonic aerodynamics, chemical physics, plasma physics, and electromagnetic wave scattering phenomena involved in the study of plasma effects on radar cross sections is given. It is shown that the effect of the plasma sheath on the radar cross section of a hypersonic body can be considered separately from the effect of the plasma trail left behind the body. Several theoretical models of electromagnetic wave scattering from plasma-covered bodies are formulated and analyzed.
