NAVIGATION RADIO-OPTICAL GROUP REFLECTOR OF CIRCULAR ACTION IN HORIZONTAL PLANE Russian patent published in 2020 - IPC H01Q15/18 G01S1/70 

FIELD: navigation.

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. Navigation radio-optical group reflector of circular action in a horizontal plane is a group radar reflector comprising eight triangular angle reflectors with equal triangular faces, six of which are located around a vertical axis passing through their coinciding vertices perpendicular to the horizontal plane, and forming circular in the horizontal plane backscattering diagram in radar range of waves. In order to form in the optical range of waves a light-scattering diagram, which is circular in the horizontal plane, in the center of coincidence of the vertices of six triangular angle reflectors, which is their focus in the optical wave band and the phase center of scattering in the radar range of waves, light-emitting semiconductor light source with omnidirectional radiation angle in horizontal plane is installed. Light source is powered by a DC power supply and is controlled by the signal fire control photocell. Achieved technical result is that instead of six light sources for supply of omnidirectional light-signal lights in the horizontal plane only one light source is used with omnidirectional radiation characteristics in this plane.

EFFECT: disclosed is a navigation radio-optical group reflector of circular action in a horizontal plane.
