Abstract:
1. A shield for disguising an air inlet port, comprising: a plate disposed in front of said air inlet port, wherein said plate is sized to visibly eclipse said air inlet port, when viewed from a direction perpendicular to said plate; and a splitter extending from within said air inlet port for supporting said plate a distance from said air inlet port, thereby defining a channel around at least a portion of said plate through which air may pass into said air inlet port, said splitter defining a reflecting portion comprising a length, first and second reflecting surfaces extending from said plate, and a substantially non-uniform thickness defined between the first and second reflecting surfaces along at least a portion of the length of the reflecting portion, wherein at least one visible surface of said plate or said splitter is structured to suppress radar signal return or infrared radiation.
