Abstract

A large view angle corner reflector comprises a quadrangular pyramid base and four corners. The corners are respectively mounted on four side surfaces of the base and are respectively normal to the side surfaces of the base. Each corner is formed by two 1/4 round discs that are normal to each other. Thus, when an electromagnetic wave incident from a small viewing angle, the present invention still provides a large radar cross section back to the electromagnetic wave source.

Description of the Invention: [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a reflector, and more particularly to an electromagnetic wave reflector for use as a radar detection. [Prior Art] Contrary to the function of stealth, the purpose of the corner reflector is to reflect the electromagnetic wave emitted by the human body to the incident direction of the electromagnetic wave with the maximum amplitude, so that the radar & can detect the position of the corner reflector. Equipped with or equipped with a corner reflector, you can deliberately display your position, thereby achieving positioning, bullying, warning, correction, collision between boats, river safety, etc. The land is used for people's livelihood and military purposes. Referring to the first and second figures, the general corner reflector is composed of three mutually perpendicular (0 = 90°) high electromagnetic wave reflecting plate bodies, so that electromagnetic waves of a specific incident angle range can be almost completely reflected back to the incident direction. Therefore, the 'radar or electromagnetic wave receiving end can be used to judge the position of the corner reflector or the target. However, the aforementioned corner reflectors have several very inconvenient problems in application. The angle of view of the existing corner reflector is narrow. When the detection source exceeds the effective angle of view, the reflection direction of the corner reflector will be different and cannot be received by the source to be tested. Therefore, so-called detection of blind spots or dead angles occurs. . For example, when an aircraft approaches a dry ship equipped with a conventional corner reflector at a low altitude, the Rayleigh wave emitted by the aircraft will not effectively reflect the receiver of the aircraft, forming the aforementioned problem of detecting blind spots or dead ends. The reason is that the aircraft is approaching the horizontal plane and the corner reflector is in a state of low elevation angle incident, resulting in the aforementioned problem of 201122529. Of course, a target ship mounted close to a conventional corner reflector will encounter the same problem with the detection radar installed on the weapon, and the weapon will not detect the position of the target ship. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In order to solve the problem that the existing corner reflector is easily beyond the applicable incident angle range in some angles, the present invention solves the above-mentioned corner reflector by placing the stereoscopic reflective structure on the surface of a quadrangular pyramid base. It is not suitable for the dilemma of similar applications such as horizontal approach (low pitch angle), so as to expand the angle of application of the corner reflector. In order to solve the foregoing technical problems and the object of the invention, the present invention provides a corner reflector having a wide viewing angle, comprising a quadrangular pyramid base and four reflective structures respectively fixed on four inclined side wall surfaces of the quadrangular pyramid base, wherein The four inclined side wall surfaces of the quadrangular pyramid base and the surface of the reflective structure are electrically conductive, and the four reflective structures are respectively fixed on the inclined side wall surface of the quadrangular pyramid base; each reflective structure comprises two sheets and are perpendicular to each other. The conductive sheet body, the two conductive sheets of each of the reflective structures and one of the corresponding oblique side walls are perpendicular to each other. Wherein the angular extent of the inclined side wall of the quadrangular pyramid base and the horizontal bottom surface of the quadrangular pyramid base is greater than zero to 30 degrees. Wherein the conductive sheet is 1/4 disc-shaped, and the four reflecting structures are abutted against each other and respectively placed on the inclined side wall surface of the quadrangular pyramid base. Wherein, the quadrangular pyramid base and the reflective structure are made of metal material. Wherein the quadrangular pyramid base and the reflective structure are surface highly conductive materials. 201122529 wherein the composite material is a carbon fiber board, a fiberglass board or a sandwich structure. /α, wherein the corner reflector having a wide viewing angle further comprises a transflective cover. The transflective cover is a semi-dome-shaped cover, and the cover is fixedly coupled to the quadrangular pyramid base after the reflective structure. Therefore, the present embodiment can obtain a large radar cross-sectional area when the incident electromagnetic wave or the radar wave is at a low elevation angle compared to the existing corner reflector, and therefore, it is very suitable for the application of the low elevation angle. For example, target aircraft, target ships, and river vessel warnings have the technical effect of achieving a wide range of viewing angles at low elevation angles. [Embodiment] Please refer to the third to fifth figures, which are preferred embodiments of the wide angle viewing angle reflector (1 〇) of the present invention, comprising a quadrangular pyramid base () 2) and respectively fixed on the Four reflective structures (14) of four oblique sidewall surfaces of the quadrangular pyramid base (12), wherein the four inclined sidewall surfaces of the quadrangular pyramid base (12) and the surface of the reflective structure (14) are electrically conductive to make incident electromagnetic Skin and radar waves can produce reflections. Four reflective structures (14) are fixedly placed on the four inclined side wall surfaces of the four-corner base (12); each reflective structure (4) comprises two sheet-like and mutually perpendicular conductive sheets, The conductive sheets of the embodiment are in the form of 1/4 discs; the two conductive sheets of each of the reflective structures (14) and the corresponding one of the oblique side walls are perpendicular to each other. The angle between the side wall of the quadrangular pyramid base (12) and the horizontal bottom surface of one of the four corner pyramid bases (12) is greater than zero to 30 degrees, and the angle of the embodiment is 2 degrees. 201122529 Please refer to the sixth figure. The size of the quadrangular pyramid base (彳2) of this embodiment is 1580×1 580 mm2. When the incident electromagnetic wave (radar wave) is in the low elevation angle state with respect to the embodiment, different rotation angles can be obtained. A wider viewing angle. As shown, the present embodiment can obtain a viewing angle range of 500 m2 (~27 dBsm) or more, which is much larger than the viewing angle range B of the existing corner reflector. Further, in order to allow the present embodiment to be physically mounted on a carrier such as a ship or a transportation device without increasing the air resistance when the carrier travels, the present embodiment includes a wave-transmission cover which is an electromagnetic wave-permeable material ( A half dome-shaped cover made of quartz fiber, glass fiber, etc., is disposed on the reflective structure (14) and fixedly coupled with the quadrangular pyramid base (彳2), in terms of material, the quadrangular pyramid The base (12) and the reflective structure (14) may be a metal material or a highly conductive composite material. The so-called composite material may include a carbon fiber plate on a metal plating surface, a fiberglass plate or a square pyramid made of a Sanlu Meiji structure. The base (12) and the reflective structure ('4). Therefore, compared with the existing corner reflector, the present embodiment can obtain a large radar wearing area when the incident electromagnetic wave or the radar wave is at a low elevation angle.
