RADAR INVISIBILITY
SLIDE 56
On this slide we show another effect which can be obtained. We can make an airplane invisible to ordinary radar.
Imagine now the same "jammer" type aircraft with three channels, one for use in scalar interferometry and one as an ordinary channel.
This time, a Fourier interference pattern is established around the aircraft, so this establishes an "energy bottle" around the plane. We specifically arrange this bottle in the frequency band of the hostile radar we wish to avoid. For multiple bands, we establish multiple bottles -- this just requires more frequencies or more translator/transmitters.
The beam from the ground radar now strikes the energy bottle, and its energy enters and is trapped in the bottle grids. Since the bottle is leaky, the incident energy gradually disperses and "leaks" out all around, with very little emerging energy.
The ground radar receives no return pulse or reflection.
Therefore it sees no target.
The same interferometer system is usable both in this defensive screen fashion and in the attack fashion previously discussed.
Use of this system has been demonstrated internationally.
An energy bottle has been created in a North American laboratory as well.
