In this paper, it is introduced characteristics of FMCW-type Radar Altimeter for KUH, and its defects occurred during ground/flight test in initial product phase. In addition, it is also described 'data/control flow model' based fault analysis results of S/W and processes of verifying improvement design through flight test as well as aircraft system integration test called MEP SIL. As a result of design improvement and verification, it is validated that settling the defects and improving not only safety but also capability of the KUH.

군남댐의 운영은 북한지역에 위치한 저수지와 하천 상황, 특히 황강댐 방류에 절대적으로 의존하는 특성이 있음에도 불구하고, 수위 상황 등 자료수집의 한계로 군남댐 운영에 어려움이 많다. 이러한 상황에서 위성원격탐사 영상자료는 미계측 북한 접경지역의 수문상황을 판단하는 데 유용한 자료가 될 수 있다. 위성을 통한 수위 추정 방법은 위성영상에서 탐지된 수표면을 DEM과 중첩하여 판독하는 방법인 imaging 기법과 레이더고도계로 불리는 altimeter로 위성에서 수표면까지의 거리를 직접 측정하여 산출하는 profiling 기법 등 크게 두 가지 방법이 있다. 본 연구에서는 위성영상으로 산출된 DEM과 ESA의 Sentinel-1 C-밴드 SAR 영상을 중첩하여 황강댐 수위를 추정해 보았다. 정확도 문제가 있겠지만, 황강댐 수위 변화의 경향성은 확인할 수 있었으므로, 향후 개선을 통해 황강댐 수위변동 추세 분석과 상황별 적절한 사전 대응에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

We present an implementation result of a computer GUI-based simulator using MATLAB to verify the performance of interferometric radar altimeter(IRA) which is possible to measure the slant range altitude and the cross-track angle to the nearest point for terrain aided navigation(TAN). After a brief description of the principle of TAN and IRA, we present that the grids are divided for the modeling of the reflected signal in digital elevation map(DEM) and so the radar cross section(RCS) of each grid is calculated and the signal-noise ratio(SNR) of the reflected signal in the radar beam width. And the signal processing procedures of the IRA and the structure of the IRA simulator are shown.

In an effort to properly assess the validity of spaceborne radar altimeter measurements, we made a direct comparison of two different sea surface heights (SSH) acquired by both Topex/Poseidon (T/P) satellite and in-situ tide-gauges (T/G). This comparative analysis was conducted using the data sets collected from three locations along the eastern coast of Korea which include: Ulleungdo, Pohang, and Sokcho. In the course of the analysis of satellite altimeter, information of SSH was extracted from the T/P MGDR data sets through the application of both atmospheric and geophysical corrections. To compare the T/P data sets in parallel basis, the T/G data sets were averaged using the measured values within the peripheral radius of 55km. When compared among different locations, the compatibility between the two methods was much more significant in an offshore location (Ulleungdo) than the two onshore locations (Pohang, Sokcho). If the low-pass filtered results were compared among the sites, the offshore site exhibited the best correlations between the two methods (correlation coefficient of 0.91) than those of the onshore sites. These large differences in the strength of correlations among different locations are due to the deformation of M2, S2, and K1 tidal components used in the tidal model. In case of the offshore location, the compatibility of the two different methods were improved systematically by the low-pass filtering with an increase of the filtering duration such as up to 200 days.

Oceanographic measurements from Ieodo Ocean Research Station and its vicinity were compared for assessment and mutually adjusted with satellite data. From the Topex/Poseidon and ERS-1/2 radar altimeter and scatterometer data, sea surface height, wind speed and direction were extracted and analyzed. Shipborne wind direction data acquired in June 1995 show good coherence with the satellite data, while sea surface height and wind speed show differences, possibly resulting from the distance between the measurement points. This can be improved by analyzing more satellite data or using other available shipborne data. The recent 3 months of Ieodo Station data between December 2004 and February 2005 were also analyzed and compared with the satellite data. The Ieodo Station data were found to have considerable gaps during the period as well as seriously biased particular when the data were averaged with some abnormal data. The Ieodo Station and satellite data were then mutually adjusted on the basis of their statistics. Ieodo Station oceanographic measurements are very efficient for ground-frothing of satellite data because they are stationary and the station is located far from the coast. On the other hand, the satellite measurements are the only data to fill up gaps and adjust biases of the Ieodo Station data.
