Abstract
In the paper, radar cross section (RCS) reduction method for slot-loaded UAV based on characteristic mode theory (CMT) is proposed. Firstly, the strong characteristic current distribution positions of UAVs in different modes are obtained through characteristic mode analysis (CMA). Then, the slot-loaded technology is carried out on the overlapping position to achieve the purpose of RCS reduction of UAV. The experimental results show that RCS is reduced in different incident directions of plane waves. UAV can achieve RCS reduction with the peak of 8dBsm within 2~3 GHz. The proposed method can provide a new design idea for stealth technology of UAV.
