NAVIGATION RADIO-OPTICAL GROUP REFLECTOR OF CIRCULAR ACTION WITH REFLECTIVE FACES Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC H01Q15/18 

FIELD: radio navigation.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to navigation and can be used on inland waterways as part of buoyant buoys to indicate the fairway or edge of a navigable canal simultaneously in the radar and optical ranges of waves. Navigation radio-optical group reflector of a circular action with reflective faces is a group radar reflector, containing eight triangular radar angle reflectors with equal triangular faces, six of which are arranged around a vertical axis passing through their vertices and form a circular scattering diagram. At the same time, the reflecting triangular faces of all six triangular corner reflectors are covered with a radiotransparent reflective coating, and in their tops are installed light sources, made in the form of light-emitting diodes, forming a circular diagram of light scattering in the optical wave band. Light sources are powered by a DC power source and are controlled by a photo signal fire control system.

EFFECT: technical result consists in expanding the functional capabilities of the radio-optical group reflector in the optical wave band due to its operation not only in the active mode, ensuring the supply of active omnidirectional lights in the horizontal plane of light during the night, but also work in the passive mode, providing navigation passive lights, the color of which corresponds to the color of the reflective coating of triangular faces when illuminated by the light of a ship's searchlight with a white glow.
