Resumen
Firstly, the radar cross section (RCS) test results of the stealthy microsatellite of TianXun-1(TX-1) in the anechoic chamber are compared with the RCS numerically simulated by the physical optics method, and the accuracy of the physical optical method is verified. On this basis, in order to improve the radar stealth performance of the microsatellite, a satellite stealth configuration optimization design method is proposed with the multi-prismatic stealth configuration of TX-1 as the initial configuration, and two olive stealth satellite configurations are obtained. By comparing the RCS simulation and radar detection probability of the optimized Olive-A and Olive-B satellite stealth configurations in multiple directions, it is demonstrated that the stealth performance of the Olive-B configuration is better. Finally, the anechoic chamber test is conducted on the metallic Olive-B model, and the test results show that the test results and simulation results of Olive-B are in good agreement, which again verifies that the stealth performance of Olive-B is better than that of TX-1 and Olive-A.
