一种适于缝隙等表面缺陷类目标的评估方法

Surface defects such as gaps have a significant impact on the stealth performance of the aircraft. According to the scattering mechanism of surface defects such as gaps, a method of evaluating the surface defect targets based on vector cancellation is proposed. The carrier is regarded as the target background and is subtracted the scattering effect of the carrier, especially the strong scattering angle of the carrier, and then the scattering characteristic data of the surface defect class target in the whole angle range are obtained, which solves the problem that the complete scattering characteristic can not be obtained using the conventional method. The comparison between the numerical calculation and the experimental results shows that the vector cancellation method can effectively evaluate the electromagnetic scattering characteristics of defective targets. After vector cancellation, the scattering of the carrier is greatly reduced, and the calculation or measurement accuracy of the defective target is effectively improved. At the same time, due to reducing the influence of the scattering of the carrier itself, this method avoids the requirement of the carrier size and ultra-low scattering characteristics, and reduces effectively the processing cost of the carrier.
