The Research of Methods Based on Traveling Wave Suppression
The theory of traveling-wave scattering and two kinds of methods for restraining the traveling-wave scattering are represented in the paper. The traveling-wave scattering could be declined by shaping and radar absorbing material (RAM). The experimental results prove that inhibition effect of traveling-wave scattering using the above methods is prominent. A traveling-wave current comes into being, when a long, thin body is illuminated by grazing incident electromagnetic wave. The flowing traveling-wave current is reflected when it encounters the end of the truncation, and the traveling-wave scattering contributes a lot to the radar cross section (RCS) of the target. The traveling-wave scattering can be researched by making use of the existed concepts of antenna theory. In this paper, a sample of traveling-wave broad was manufactured. Firstly, we restrained the traveling-wave scattering by shaping. The end edge of traveling-wave broad was transformed into saw-tooth or circular arc shape, and measured results proved the shaping method could reduce the RCS of the traveling-wave broad by 10 dB at X-band. Moreover, we restrained the traveling-wave scattering by coating radar absorbing material on the surface of the broad. And the measured results showed that the method of radar absorbing material could reduce the RCS of the traveling-wave broad by more than 10 dB at X-band.
