摘要 |
The invention is a device for reducing modulation of high frequency signals induced by helicopter rotor blades made of high strength composites and having a metalized leading edge. The device uses a segmented metalized leading edge. The segments are electrically connected by reactive elements selected to alter the self-resonant frequency of the rotor blade and to reduce the antenna Q to a non-interfering frequency range. The reactive elements use "lossy" materials to absorb energy to reduce the magnitude of radio frequency signal induced currents.
