In order to detect the precise port/starboard direction of arrival of target signal in real noisy ocean environments, Inverse beamforming (IBF) algorithm is surveyed theoretically and the detection performances of IBF are analyzed with simulations. Cardioid Inverse beamforming algorithm was proposed for port/starboard discrimination and the performance was studied with simulations. It is shown that IBF has a 3dB array gain advantage over Conventional beamforming (CBF) under ideal conditions. This 3 dB advantage is proven theoretically and illustrated with simulations. The fact that the IBF beamwidth is narrower than the CBF beamwidth by a factor of 0.68 proves the performance of defection and spatial resolution improvement. Comparing the simulation results of Cardioid Inverse beamforming and Conventional Cardioid beamforming, it is shown that Cardioid Inverse beamformer has enhanced performance in minimum detection level, detection accuracy and resolution. Due to the results of moving target bearing detection test in endfire, it is shown that Cardioid Inverse beamformer has better performance, comparing the Conventional Cardioid beamformer.

This study investigates the characteristics of visual working memory (VWM) representations by examining two theoretical models: the integrated-object and the parallel-independent feature storage models. Experiment I involved a change detection task where participants memorized arrays of either orientation bars, colored squares, or both. In the one-feature condition, the memory array consisted of one feature (either orientations or colors), whereas the two-feature condition included both. We found no differences in change detection performance between the conditions, favoring the integrated object model over the parallel-independent feature storage model. Experiment II employed a recall task with memory arrays of isosceles triangles' orientations, colored squares, or both, and one-feature and two-feature conditions were compared for their recall performance. We found again no clear difference in recall accuracy between the conditions, but the results of analyses for memory precision and guessing responses indicated the weak object model over the strong object model. For ongoing debates surrounding VWM's representational characteristics, these findings highlight the dominance of the integrated object model over the parallel independent feature storage model.

This paper describes an MMTI(Maritime Moving Target Indicator) for periscope detection in airborne radar. Firstly, we analyze the characteristics of sea clutter, sea targets. Secondly, we study the differences between GMTI(Ground Moving Target Indicator) and MMTI. This paper proposes an optimal MMTI operating environment and method. We also suggest a signal processing algorithm using STAP(Space-Time Adaptive Processing) for detecting small RCS target moving low speed. The detection probability for moving target with MDV(Minimum Detectable Velocity) is simulated under various RCS and multi-channel system. Finally, we analyze the major performance for range, velocity and azimuth accuracy.

The radar operated to detect/track aircraft targets is divided into a search radar that operates while the antenna rotating device rotates for the purpose of detecting the target according to the mission characteristics, and a tracking radar that periodically steers and tracks a beam to the predicted position of the target. The tracking radar has a shorter target information acquisition preiod than the search radar. Due to this characteristic, the tracking accuracy is better than that of the search radar, but as the prediction error increases due to the speed error at the beginning of the tracking, there are many cases in which tracking fails at the beginning of tracking due to failure to perform beam steering normally. In this paper, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, we propose an algorithm for improving the accuracy of track initiation using radial velocity measurements in addition to the position of the measured, and confirm the performance of the proposed algorithm by comparing with the two point differential algorithm

수재해 저감과 예방을 위해서는 공간적 변동성을 반영한 정확한 면적 강우량의 측정은 필수적이다. 이러한 요구에 부응하기 위해 24 GHz 이중편파 전자파를 기반으로 소규모 공간 범위에 대해 저고도의 지상 강우를 30 m의 거리해상도로 관측할 수 있는 전파강수계가 개발되었다. 전파강수계는 시제품이 개발된 이래로 한국건설기술연구원 연천센터와 국내 여러 현장과 인도네시아 등에서 시험을 실시하였다. 임상훈 등(2020)은 전파강수계의 반사도와 비차등위상차를 이용한 강우 추정식을 개발하여 연천 및 거제 관측 자료에 적용한 바 있다. 본 논문에서는 연천센터에 분산 배치한 우량계 자료를 이용하여 전파강수계의 강우 공간분포 측정 성능을 평가하였다. 공간우량계는 15대 중 음영구역 바깥에서 정상 작동한 7개의 0.5mm급 우량계 자료와 핏게이지에 있는 0.2mm급 우량계 2대가 비교에 사용되었다. 전파강수계 강우강도는 비교 위치에 해당하는 점 주변의 레이 방향 5개(37.5 m에 해당) 및 방위각 방향 5개 게이트 등 총 25개의 복셀에서 산출된 강우 정보를 평균하여 비교하였다. 정확도는 지상우량계를 참값으로 보고 MAE(Mean absolute error)로 평가하였다. 그 결과 평균 4.2%의 오차를 보였으며, 우량계의 오차를 ±5%로 가정할 경우 3.3~7.9%로 나타났다. 전파강수계의 누적 강우량 값은 강우계에 비해 작은데, 이는 지속적인 관측을 통해 강우 산정의 정확도를 개선하는 것이 필요함을 의미한다.

Recently, hydraulic fracturing is used in various fields and microseismic monitoring is one of the best methods for judging where hydraulic fractures exist and how they are developing. When locating microseismic events using single vertical well data, distances from the vertical array and depths from the surface are generally decided using time differences between compressional (P) wave and shear (S) wave arrivals and azimuths are calculated using P wave hodogram analysis. However, in field data, it is sometimes hard to acquire P wave data which has smaller amplitude than S wave because microseismic data often have very low signal to noise (S/N) ratio. To overcome this problem, in this study, we developed a grid search algorithm which can find event location using all combinations of arrival times recorded at receivers. In addition, we introduced and analyzed the method which calculates azimuths using S wave. The tests of synthetic data show the inversion method using all combinations of arrival times and receivers can locate events without considering the origin time even using only single phase. In addition, the method can locate events with higher accuracy and has lower sensitivity on first arrival picking errors than conventional method. The method which calculates azimuths using S wave can provide reliable results when the dip between event and receiver is relatively small. However, this method shows the limitation when dip is greater than about $20^{\circ}$ in our model test.

위치 정보를 얻기 위해 GPS를 이용하며 다수의 GPS 안테나를 이용하면 자세까지 구할 수 있다. 그러나 실내에서는 GPS 신호 세기가 너무 약해 동작하지 않는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 GPS 대신 Zigbee와 초음파를 이용하여 실내에서도 위치와 자세를 구하는 기법을 제시하였다. Zigbee 신호와 초음파 신호의 도착 시간차로부터 송신기와 수신기간의 거리를 구할 수 있으며 이로부터 위치를 구할 수 있다. 여기에 추가의 발신기를 장착하면 두 발신기의 위치 차이로 정의되는 기저선 벡터를 구할 수 있으며 이로부터 자세를 구할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 다수의 발신기를 이용하여 효과적으로 기저선 벡터를 구하는 기법과, 이로부터 자세를 구하는 시스템을 구축하였다. 추가로 오차해석을 통하여 구해진 자세의 정확도를 예측하였다. 실제 실험을 통하여 20cm 간격의 두 발신기를 이용하여 1도 이하의 오차를 갖는 방위각과 앙각을 연속적으로 구할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

Passive sonar system forms the various beams in any desired directions to obtain the improvement in Signal-to-Noise (S/N) ratio, bearing detection and localization of targets, and the attenuation of interferences from other directions. The improvement of beamforming is very important to detect modern underwater targets as noise reduction technology leads to considerably low-level acoustic emissions in the long range in complex environmental sea. In this paper, we proposed the spatial cross correlation beamforming (SCCBF) algorithm using cross correlation matrix of individual hydrophone pairs of linear array sensors. By the theoretical analysis and simulation, the proposed SCCBF is demonstrated that its performances compared to conventional beamforming (CBF) output can be obtain above 3dB of array gain and about half of beam width represented the bearing accuracy in target detection. Also, this paper presents sea test result of linear passive sonar system that the proposed algorithm implemented.

To construct the accurate radio satellite navigation system, the efficient communication each satellite with the ground station is very important. Throughout the communication, the orbit of each satellite can be corrected, and those information will be used to analyze the satellite satus by the operator. Since there are limited resources of ground station, the schedule of antenna's azimuth and elevation angle should be optimized. On the other hand, the satellite in the medium earth orbit does not pass the same point of the earth surface due to the rotation of the earth. Therefore, the antenna pass schedule must be updated at the proper moment. In this study, Q learning approach which is a form of model-free reinforcement learning and genetic algorithm are considered to find the optimal antenna schedule. To verify the optimality of the solution, numerical simulations are conducted.

Wind profiler and wind lidar produce a vertical profile of winds in high spatiotemporal resolution in the atmospheric boundary layer. The wind lidar makes the wind vector using DBS (Doppler Beam Swinging) and VAD (Velocity Azimuth Display) methods. The DBS method has the advantage of obtaining a wind profile with a fast scan time. On the other hand, there is a restriction that requires at least two beams including vertical beam, which causes a decrease in the data acquisition rate. The VAD method was improved to produce more wind vector of the wind profiler as well as the wind lidar, which generally uses 5 beams. Fourier series was estimated with the radial velocity by the DBS method and wind vector was determined by setting the azimuth interval and applying the radial velocity by the Fourier series to the VAD method. The wind vectors were retrieved at the altitude where the wind was not calculated by the DBS method, and the results of the two methods were consistent.
