Definitions
- Reflector for polarimetric radar especially for use of caliber or beacon.
- the invention relates to reflectors for polarimetric radars, intended in particular to be used for the calibration of a radar or to serve as a beacon.
- the present invention relates to a right radar reflector pseudohedron whose desired performance can be improved simultaneously.
- Yet another object of the invention is to provide a right radar reflector pseudohedron capable of constituting a cross-polarization standard having a response as constant as possible over a given angular range.
- An object of the invention is also to provide a right radar reflector pseudodiDE having an angularly widened cross-polarization diagram without this diagram being modulated by annoying undulations.
- edge of the right pseudo-dihedral has the shape of a portion of a helix.
- the edge extends over at most one pitch of the propeller.
- the tangent at a point of the propeller makes an angle of 45 ° relative to the axis of the propeller.
- the orientation of the V during its theoretical displacement along the edge varies according to a law of variation chosen as a function of the given trajectory of the polarimetric transmission-reception system.
- This reflector placed in front of a polarimetric radar, that is to say a radar whose emission and reception are done according to two orthogonal linear polarizations HV, allows the calibration of the radar in cross polarization: H emission - V reception or emission V - reception H and this, over a wide angular range without the need to change the orientation of the dihedral.
- This reflector which can be entirely metallic, allows the calibration of an airborne radar, helicopter-borne or placed on any vehicle (for example a satellite), or on a tower, as soon as the radar is in the angle of the cone of calibration from the reflector.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram of a reflector according to the invention
- - the flgs. 2 and 3 are other views of the same reflector
- FIGS. 1 to 3 are diagrams of an elementary dihedral useful for understanding the definition of the reflector according to FIGS. 1 to 3;
- SER radar equivalent surface
- Fig. 1 1 shows the variations of the S.E.R. as a function of the angle of the cutting plane, i.e. respectively for an angle of 20 °
- FIG. 1 1A 30 ° (fig. 1 1B) and 60 ° (flg 1 1C), for an opening reflector 80 °;
- - fig. 12 is analogous to flg. 1 1 but for a 100 ° opening reflector;
- the flgs. 13 and 14 are simulations of the variations in the co-and counterpolarization levels as a function of the orientation of the incident ray for a reflector according to the invention
- Figs 15 and 16 are simulations, respectively comparable to those of Figs. 13 and 14. in the case of a right pseudo-dihedral with circular edge, and
- - Figs 17 and 18 are simulations, respectively comparable to those of Figs. 13 and 14. in the case of a right pseudo-dihedral with elliptical edge.
- the quantities which define the structure constituted by a reflector according to the invention are the length a of the generator (that is to say the length of the side of the V whose displacement theoretically generates one face of the dihedral), the radius of curvature r of the edge, and the angle ⁇ o of the angular portion of the helix determined by the edge.
- the reflector shown in figs. 1 to 3 is such that the tangent T at each point of its helical edge (c), makes an angle of 45o with the axis of the propeller and that for a given trajectory of the polarimetric transmission-reception system, there exists an elementary right dihedral (fig. 4) simultaneously verifying the following conditions:
- the conditions ⁇ and ⁇ carried out ensure maximum detection in cross polarization and make it possible to arrive at the parametric equation of the optimal surface for the trajectory in question.
- the structure has been synthesized in order to be able, completely uncorrelated, to set a level of S.E.R. of crossed polarization [proportional to the quantity a2.r2 / ⁇ 2] over an angular domain ⁇ proportional to the opening ⁇ o.
- FIGS 17 and 18 show the variations, respectively, of
