초록

현대의 레이더는 큰 클러터 환경에서 동작하기 위해 넓은 동적 영역을 요구한다. ADC(Analog-to-Digital Converter)가 발생시키는 스퓨리어스(spurious) 신호는 넓은 동적 영역을 구현하는데 걸림돌이 되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 ADC의 비선형 특성에 따른 능동 위상 배열 레이더 수신기의 이득을 분석하였다. ADC SFDR(Spurious Free Dynamic Range)은 시스템이 요구하는 동적 영역을 한정하고, 제한된 영역내에서 ADC SNR(Signal-to-Noise Ratio) 손실을 고려하여 ADC 동적 영역을 설정하였다. 그리고 계산된 능동 위상 배열 레이더의 안테나단 출력 잡음 전압과 ADC 입력 잡음 전압을 비교하여 수신기의 이득을 구하였다. 끝으로 응용 예제를 통한 전체적인 내용을 살펴보았다.

In modern radars, dynamic range requirements far severed due to high CNR(Clutter-to-Noise Ratio) environment operation scenario. ADC spurious signal restricted the required dynamic range. In this paper, receiver gain of active phased array radar dependent on ADC nonlinear characteristic was analyzed. Within limited scope of ADC SFDR which blocks required system dynamic range, ADC dynamic range reaches trade-off with ADC SNR loss. Comparing antenna stage output noise voltage to that of ADC input, receiver gain was mathematically analyzed. Finally the whole contents were explained from the application example.
