NAVIGATION RADIO-OPTICAL GROUP REFLECTOR WITH ALUMINUM FOIL-COATED EDGES Russian patent published in 2019 - IPC H01Q15/18 

FIELD: navigation systems.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to navigation and can be used on inland waterways as part of buoyant buoys for designation of navigation stroke simultaneously in radar and optical ranges of waves. To achieve technical result, navigation radio-optical group reflector of circular action with aluminum foil-coated edges is group radar reflector, containing eight triangular corner reflectors with equal triangular faces, six of which are located around the vertical axis passing through their vertices, and forming a circular in the horizontal plane scattering diagram in the radar range of waves. Reflecting triangular faces of all six trihedral corner reflectors are coated with a light-reflecting coating made in the form of an aluminum foil, and their vertices are equipped with six light sources, which are made in the form of light-emitting diodes which form a circular diagram of light scattering in the optical wave range. Light sources are powered by a DC power source and are controlled by a photo signal fire control system.

EFFECT: broader functional capabilities in the optical range of waves of inner light-reflecting surfaces of triangular faces coated with an aluminum foil of the radio-optical group reflector, caused by supply of light-signal lights with white, red, yellow or green luminous colors when using the same internal light-reflecting surfaces of triangular faces; wherein the color of the signal light is set only by the type of the light-emitting diodes and is determined by the existing navigation environment on inland waterways.
