Abstract
Smart skin antenna consists of microstrip antennas and smart sensors which can be embed into all kinds of weapons platform structures. Not only does it have the function of electromagnetic transceiver and the mechanical bearing performance, but also it has the function of working state perception and performance. In order to solve the problem of worsen electrical performance resulted by the smart skin antenna structure deformation in the service environment, this paper proposes a new type of smart skin antenna into which the fiber Bragg grating is embedded, and presents reconstructs the antenna deformation displacement according to the strain measured by the small amount of the fiber Bragg grating. The effectiveness of the deformation displacement reconstruction method is testified with the experiment system of smart skin antenna structure deformation. The deformation displacement reconstruction method lays a foundation for researching smart skin antenna electrical compensation system.
