This study describes the accuracy improvement of the estimated angle using phase averaging in phase-comparison monopulse algorithm. In addition, to compensate the time-delay due to the phase averaging, we propose the time-delay compensation algorithm which uses the derivative of the estimated angle. These derivative is calculated by the curve fitting method. Using the real radar interferometer, we have verified that the phase averaging and time-delay compensation algorithms are effective in real-time signal processing application.

The conventional adaptive detectors can not maintain sufficient detection performance at the presence of non-stationary clutter with unknown characteristics. This is caused by the lack of a priori information about clutter parameters changing over radar coordinates. To solve this problem, it is necessary to use clutter classifiers which have functions, such as the selection of the applied algorithm and its parameters extraction according to clutter conditions. In this paper, we describe the implementation of a clutter environment classifier for adaptive processing. In the environment classifier implemented on Visual C++, the extraction of the parameters and selection of processing algorithm for the adaptive processing unit are possible, and the result of algorithms can be verified at each stage.

It is necessary to estimate the range and Doppler shifted spectrum for the extraction of useful information from the return echoes in the frequency modulated continuous wave radar systems used for the remote sending purpose such as detection of moving targets. However, the spectrum estimation using the FFT method causes the very large sidolobes of clutter masking the essential signal information if the acquisition time of an echo signal is pretty short. Therefore, in this paper, the efficient data windowing method is investigated to suppress the strong sidelobe levels of the clutter and results are analyzed.

MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Output) radar is an emerging radar technology for its numerous advantages. However, in the electric warfare viewpoint, MIMO radar is a new developed radar technology for that existing parameter estimation cannot applied and a new radar parameter estimation based on the characteristics of MIMO radar is desired. In this paper, we propose a blind estimation scheme for the number of orthogonal waveforms of a uniform linear array(ULA) MIMO radar using minimum two electronic sensors.

A high speed data link capability is one of the critical factors in determining the performance of the spaceborne SAR system with high resolution. It is due to the strict requirement for the real-time data transmission from a series of massive raw image data of spaceborne SAR to the ground station in a limited time of mission. In this paper, based on the data link model characterized by the spaceborne small SAR system, the high rate multi-channel data link module is designed including link storage, link processor, transmitter, and wide-angle antenna. The design results are presented with the performance analysis on the data link budget as well as the multi-mode data rate in association with the SAR imaging mode of operation from high resolution to the wide swath.

A weather radar estimates Doppler frequency and width of Doppler spectrum from the received weather signal which represents the return echoes from rain or dust particles in a corresponding area. These estimates are very important parameters since they are directly related to precipitation, wind velocity and degree of turbulence. Therefore, these estimated values should be highly reliable to obtain accurate weather information. However, the echoes of a weather radar include both the weather signal and the clutter which occurred from ground reflection or moving objects, etc. The existence of the clutter in the echoes may cause serious errors in the estimation of weather-related parameters. Therefore, in this paper, models are developed to represent the weather signal and the clutter for the purpose of analyzing estimation errors caused by the strong clutter echoes. Using these models, various return echoes according to the weather signal and clutter power are simulated to analyze the effects of the clutter.

근본적으로 방대한 양의 실시간 연산을 요구하는 영상 신호처리, 소나, 레이다와 같은 시스템에서는 시스템의 성능을 최대화하기 위해 병렬 신호처리 시스템의 사용이 불가피하다. 본 논문은 방대한 양의 데이터를 실시간으로 처리할수 있는 병렬 신호처리보드를 설계 및 구현하였다. 이 보드는 DSP칩간의 통신과 보드간의 통신이 가능하며, DSP칩이 마스터가 되어 EMIF(External Memory Interface Port)포트를 통해 다른 DSP칩의 지역메모리를 액세스 할수 있다. 또한 외부의 호스트 프로세서가 보드 내의 DSP칩에 프로그램을 다운로딩 할수 있다. 보드간의 통신은 PCI 버스를 통하여 이루어지며, DSP칩간의 통신과 DSP칩과 그의 지역메모리와의 통신은 지역버스를 통해 직접적으로 이루어진다. 보드에서 가장 핵심인 DSP-to-PCI제어기는 하드웨어 언어인 VHDL로 설계하였으며, 시뮬레이션 환경은 Synopsys ＆ ALTERA MaxplusⅡ를 사용하여 검증하였으며, 최종적으로 CPLD(Complex Programable Logic Device)칩을 사용하여 구현하였다.

It has well known that MUSIC and ESPRIT algorithms estimate angle of arrival(AOA) with high resolution by eigenvalue decomposition of the covariance matrix which were obtained from the array antennas. However, the disadvantage of MUSIC and ESPRIT is that they are computationally ineffective, and then they are difficult to implement in real time. The other problem of MUSIC and ESRPIT is to require calibrated antennas with uniform features, and are sensitive to the manufacturing facult and other physical uncertainties. To overcome these disadvantages, several method using neural model have been study. For multiple signals, those require huge training data prior to AOA estimation. This paper proposes the algorithm for AOA estimation by interconnected hopfield neural model. Computer simulations show the validity of the proposed algorithm. The proposed method does not require huge training procedure and only assigns interconnected coefficients to the neural network prior to AOA estimation.
