Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) An antenna RCS reduction using circulator and phase shifter is one of promising RCS reduction techniques. In this RCS reduction method, the antenna mode scattered field, which is the re-radiated field of antenna, iscontrolled by the phase shifter to cancel out the structural mode scattered field. In this paper, a method is proposed to achieve the wide-angle or wide-band RCS reduction. In the proposed method, the phases of phase shifters are adjusted so that the RCS is reduced to the desired level simultaneously at plural directions or frequencies. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified by experiments using an array antenna with circulators and digital phase shifters.
