It is difficult to detect and to track the moving targets like tanks and diesel vehicles due to the variety of terrain and moving of targets. It is possible to be happened the aliasing conditions as the difficulty of antenna deployment in the complex environment like the battle fields. In this paper, we study the problem of detecting and tracking of moving targets which are emitting wideband signals under severe spatial aliasing conditions because of the sparse arrays. We developed a direction of arrival(DOA) estimation algorithm based on subband MUSIC(Multiple Signal Classification) method which produces high-resolution estimation. In this algorithm, the true bearings are invariant regardless of changes of frequency bands while the aliased false bearings vary. As a result, the proposed algorithm overcomes the aliasing effects and improves the localization performance in sparse passive arrays.

Adaptive beamforming algorithms have been widely used to remove interference and jamming in the phased array radar system. Advances in the field programmable gate array(FPGA) technology now make possible the real time processing of adaptive beamforming (ABF) algorithm. In this paper, the FPGA based real-time implementation method of adaptive beamforming system(beamformer) in the pre-processor module for active electronically scanned array(AESA) radar is proposed. A compact FPGA-based adaptive beamformer is developed using commercial off the shelf(COTS) FPGA board with communication via OpenVPX(Virtual Path Cross-connect) backplane. This beamformer comprises a number of high speed complex processing including QR decomposition & back substitution for matrix inversion and complex vector/matrix calculations. The implemented result shows that the adaptive beamforming patterns through FPGA correspond with results of simulation through Matlab. And also confirms the possibility of application in AESA radar due to the real time processing of ABF algorithm through FPGA.

본 논문에서는 주파수 영역 배열안테나의 계산량을 감소시키기 위한 센서링 부분적응 알고리듬을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리듬은 입력신호를 주파수 영역으로 변환한 후 CFAR(constant false alarm rate) 검파기법을 이용하여 간섭신호가 존재하는 주파수 대역을 찾아내고 이에 해당하는 가중치에 대해서만 적응 신호처리를 수행한다. 이때 CFAR 검파기의 오경보율은 출력신호의 전력 변화량을 이용하여 환경에 맞게 적응적으로 변화시켜서 최적 값으로 설정한다.

In this study, the SLB(Sidelobe Blanking)/BLB(Blacklobe Blanking) design of the VHF band radar using the low-frequency band having a relatively larger beam width than the S-band or X-band radar. The antenna of the VHF band has a relatively large beam width, so it is reflected from the side lobe. If the reflected target signal is not processed into sidelobe, the false alarm rate of the radar increases by recognizing it from the main lobe signal. This method of SLB blocking is the elimination of the side lobe signal in the front of the array antenna using the central radiating element of the array antenna, and the blocking of side lobe signal from the antenna rear through BLB receiver block. After completed the radar implementation, The function of blocking of side lobe signals was confirmed through the system unit test by Simulated signal generator. Through this study, it will be used in the implementation of the side-lobe blocking technology of the array antenna for low-frequency band radar with large antenna size and beam width in the future.

Location service is usually provided by the GPS method using satellites. In the next generation mobile communication systems which use smart antennas, location service can be accomplished using direction of arrival (DOA) estimation techniques. In this paper, we propose a DOA estimation technique for the location service of the next generation mobile communication systems and investigate the validity of the proposed technique through computer simulation. First, DOA estimation problems of distributed sources are considered using vortical and horizontal array processors which are orthogonal to each other. The DOA of the elevation angle is estimated by the vertical array processor and then that of the azimuth angle is estimated by the horizontal array processor. Finally, the procedures of the location service for specific signal sources using three smart antennas are exhibited by computer simulation to show that the proposed DOA estimation technique can be used for the location service in the next generation mobile communication systems.

In mobile environments, their is more than one propagation path between each transceiver and Receiver have two or more delayed multipath signals. Delayed multipath signals can cause ISI and Receiver needs a adaptive algorithm to estimate a channel periodically. Also adaptive antenna using adaptive algorithm provide a significant increase in capacity, performance and coverage. This paper describes various LMS algorithm and evaluate the performance of array antenna Base station by using LMS algorithm in the presence of multipath signals and multiple users. As a result of simulation, Adaptive array antenna systems are able to adjust their antenna pattern to select desired signals, and reduce interference.

In this paper, we present performance analysis results of parametric array communication system in terms of theoretical BER and channel capacity of MIMO in underwater AWGN channel by using simplified SNR of difference frequency. The SNR of the difference frequency is calculated by using transmission loss, noise level, and source level of difference frequency in which nonlinear effect is considered. By assuming primary frequencies as 210 kHz and 190 kHz, difference frequency as 20 kHz, transducer diameter as 0.1 m, and noise level as 50 dB and the requested BER as $10^{-4}$, we obtain parametric array communication range gains over the communication system using primary frequency of 59.11 km in fresh water and 5 km in sea water, respectively. Also we obtain range gains of 38.84 km and 46.38 km in fresh water, and 3.88 km and 4.38 km in sea water when we use SISO and $2{\times}2$ MIMO parametric array communications for the channel capacity of 10 bps/Hz.

천체 B-선 관측용으로 많이 이용되고 있는 X-선 비례계수관을 실험실형으로 재작하고 그 특성을 조사하였다. X-선 검출기의 구조는 10 $\times$ 20 $\times$ 2cm3 인 검출체적내에 10개의 전극선이 설치되어있는 다중선 비례계수관이며, 검출가스로서 Argon(90%) + CH4 (10%)인 g혼합가스를 사용하였다. 이러한 구조에서 5.9 keV에 대한 에너지 분해능은 16%를 얻었으나, 정상적인 전극연결방법에서는 검출기 끝측에 위치한 전극에서 생기는 electric field 변형매문에, 양극선 배열방향에서 조정된 이득의 군일성이 나쁘게 나타났다. 따라서 다중선들의 각 전극선에 전압보상법(voltage compansation method)을 적용하여 검출기 전반에 걸친 이득의 균일성을 2 % (rms 값) 이내로 보정할 수 있었다. 아울러 신호처리회로 중 에너지분석을 위한 파고분석기, 비 X-선 재거를 위한 상승시간선별기(rise-time discriminator)등을 제작하였으며 이들을 이용한 전반적인 신호처리회로의 구성에 대하여 논하고자 한다.

Acoustic data from a shallow water experiment in the East Sea of Korea (MAPLE IV) is Processed to investigate the Performance of matched-field geo-acoustic inversion and source localization. The receiver array consists of two legs as in an L-shape. one vertical and the other horizontal lying on the seabed. Narrowband multi-tone CW source was towed along a slightly inclined bathymetry track. The matched-field geo-acoustic inversion includes comparisons between three processing techniques. all based on the Bartlett processor as; (1) the coherent processing of the data from the full array, (2) the incoherent Product of each output from both the horizontal and vertical arrays, and (3) the cross correlation between the horizontal and vertical arrays. as well as processing each array leg separately. To verify the inversion results. matched-field source localization for low level source signal components were performed using the same Processors used at the inversion stage.
