Abstract

In this paper, we propose a direct sequence ultra wideband (DS-UWB) radar system based on correlation accumulation in the fields of the ship traffic control and the safe ship operation including docking guidance systems. The proposed DS-UWB radar system averages out the noise by accumulating correlator outputs, and thus, provides a reliable distance estimation performance with a shorter estimation time compared with conventional DS-UWB radar systems. From numerical results, it is confirmed that the proposed DS-UWB radar system has not only a shorter average correlation processing time, but also a better distance estimation performance.

본 논문에서는 선박 접안 유도 시스템 등 정밀한 거리 추정을 요하는 안전항해운항, 선박트래픽관리 등의 분야에 알맞은 상관값 누적 기반 직접 수열 초광대역 (direct sequence ultra wideband: DS-UWB) 레이더 시스템을 제안한다. 제안하는 DS-UWB 레이더 시스템은 상관기 출력들을 누적하여 잡음을 평균냄으로써 잡음 성분의 영향을 줄이며, 기존의 DS-UWB 레이더 시스템들에 비해 더 빠른 시간에 신뢰성 있는 거리 추정을 수행한다. 모의실험 결과를 통해 제안하는 DS-UWB 레이더 시스템이 기존의 DS-UWB 레이더 시스템들에 비해 평균 상관 처리 시간이 더 짧을 뿐 아니라, 더 좋은 거리 추정 성능을 보임을 확인한다.
