Abstract:To investigate the forward radar scattering characteristics of aircraft engine nozzles, two axisymmetric nozzle physical models under different cruising conditions were established. The RCS distribution and induced current distribution for both horizontal and vertical polarization at typical L-band frequencies were simulated and analyzed using the multilevel fast multipole algorithm(MLFMA). The results indicate that under different nozzle operating conditions, changes in the tilt angle and overlapping state of the external adjustment plate lead to variations in the signal intensity and scattering direction of reflected,diffracted,and surface waves generated by radar wave illumination, thereby altering the oscillation behavior of the RCS. As the azimuth angle increases,the reflected wave signal strengthens gradually,and the overall forward RCS of the nozzle shows an oscillatory upward trend, which is more pronounced under horizontal polariza? tion. At different elevation angles,variations in the radar-illuminated area result in significant differences in the forward RCS distribution of the nozzle. With an increase in elevation angle, the maximum changes in the average RCS of horizontal and vertical polarization reach 19.1% and 55.9%, respectively, demonstrating strong angular sensitivity.
