Description

Design system of a jig with electromagnetic wave absorption performance using a 3D printer to minimize interference in radar cross-section measurement The present invention relates to a system for designing a jig to minimize interference in radar cross-sectional area measurement, and more specifically, to a system for designing a jig that is suitable for the shape of the jig and has electromagnetic wave absorption performance to minimize measurement interference using a 3D printer. As the scope of radar applications expands, it is necessary to specialize the radar cross-sections of relatively small structures, such as guided missiles and bullets, as well as large structures like fighter jets and ships, through measurement. However, jigs used for conventional radar cross-sectional area measurement have been designed in a form suitable for large structures. While the influence of the jig is minimized when measuring large structures, this effect cannot be ignored when measuring small structures. To solve this problem, the influence of the jig can be minimized by installing materials such as styrofoam and placing the target on top of it. However, styrofoam is not suitable for supporting heavy weight, and it has the disadvantage of consuming a lot of unnecessary resources because it is processed using cutting. FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a design system for a jig having electromagnetic wave absorption performance using a 3D printer to minimize radar cross-sectional area measurement interference according to the present invention. FIG. 2 is an example diagram of a case manufactured according to a design method of a jig having electromagnetic wave absorption performance using a 3D printer to minimize interference in radar cross-sectional area measurement of an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings. As shown in FIG. 1, the design system for a jig having electromagnetic wave absorption performance using a 3D printer to minimize interference in radar cross-sectional area measurement according to the present invention comprises the steps of: a medium evaluation module for evaluating the medium of a 3D printer to be printed; a jig shape determination module for fixing a target and determining the shape of the jig in a form that can be printed by a 3D printer; a jig internal structure determination module for analyzing the radar cross-sectional area of the jig with the determined shape and determining the wall thickness and internal structure of the jig based on the analyzed information; and a 3D printer for printing the jig with the wall thickness and internal structure determined. Furthermore, in the stage of evaluating the electromagnetic wave absorption performance of a 3D printer, the printed filament may utilize media such as PLA, ABS, or carbon fiber, and free-space measurement is used to determine the permittivity and loss tangent of these media. Free-space measurement involves placing a planar specimen between two antennas and calculating reflection and transmission coefficients based on the signals received by each antenna. Using the calculated reflection and transmission coefficients, the permittivity and loss tangent of the planar specimen can be calculated inversely. In addition, a jig shape is determined using a 3D CAD program to fix the target, and a 3D design can be realized using a slicer program in a form that can be printed with a 3D printer. The 3D shape is produced with priority given to a form that is easy to install, and is manufactured in a form that is as easy to 3D print as possible. Specifically, the shape is determined with the goal of printing a form that does not generate supports. In addition, electromagnetic scattering analysis techniques or simulators can be used to analyze the radar cross-section of a jig with a determined shape, and the thickness of the jig's walls and internal structure can be determined based on the analyzed information. As shown in Fig. 2, simulations are performed continuously to determine the thickness of the jig's walls (t w ) and internal structure that minimize the radar cross-section. In addition, a 3D printer using FFF (fused filament fabrication) or SLS (selective laser sintering) techniques can be used to print a jig with determined wall thickness and internal structure.
