Conventionally, a pulse radar is used for middle-sized or large-sized ships to detect other ships or obstacles located at a long distance. However, it is hardly equipped for most of the small-sized ships due to mounting and maintenance costs. Therefore, FMCW(frequency modulated continuous wave) radar is suggested as an alternative for the small-sized ships. Since it operates with low power and has good range resolution for relatively close objects, it is eligible for the small-sized ships. In previously proposed FMCW radar system, it only estimates distance and velocity of a target ship placed in the direction of main beam and is hard to detect several ships simultaneously. Thus, we suggest the method for detecting several ships at the same time by applying MUSIC(multiple signal classification) algorithm to FMCW radar signal received by a phased array antenna. In addition, by combining digital beam forming with the MUSIC algorithm, better angle resolution is achievable.

An analog to digital converter(: ADC) has been designed to extract video signals of marine X-band radar and convert to digital signals in order to produce rainfall information. X-band weather radars are suitable for high temporal-spatial resolution observations of rainfall over local ranges but they are very expensive and require professional management. The marine radars with 10-2 cost facilitate data collection and management as well as economic benefits. To validate the usefulness of the developed ADC, comparative observations were made with weather radar for short term precipitation cases. The rainfall distribution of marine radar observations are consistent with that of weather radar within a radius of 15 km. This demonstrates the usability of marine radar for rainfall observations.

한정된 영공의 감시 및 해상의 효율적인 관리를 위하여 범용화되어 있는 선박용 레이더의 조합을 이용한 연안의 선박 및 항공기를 감시하는 시스템 개발을 위한 것이다. 범용 레이더의 조합을 통해 기존 대공 감시용 레이더에 비해 시스템의 소형화 제작 및 경제적 비용 절감이 가능하고, 범용 장비의 적용에 따른 용이한 유지보수 및 검증된 상용 장비의 운용을 통한 신뢰성을 확보함은 물론, 레이더 신호처리 기술의 도입으로 관련 주요 기반기술을 국산화 시키는 것을 목적으로 한다.

The rainfall cases were identified by rainfall estimation techniques which were developed by using X - band marine radar. A digital signal converter was used to convert the signal received from the marine radar into digital reflectivity information. The ground clutter signal was removed and the errors caused by beam attenuation and beam volume changes were corrected. The reflectivity showed a linear relationship with the rain gauge rainfall. Quantitative rainfall was estimated by converting the radar signal into an cartesian coordinate system. When the rainfall was recorded more than $5mm\;hr^{-1}$ at three automatic weather stations, the rain cell distribution on the marine radar was consistent with that of the weather radar operated by Korea meteorological Adminstration.

IEC 62388은 선박용 레이더 시스템에 관한 국제 규격으로 국제해사기구의 새로운 성능기준인 Resolution MSC.192(79)의 의결에 따라 제정되었으며 2008년 7월 1일이후 선박에 설치되는 레이더 시스템은 해당 성능 표준을 만족하도록 권고하고 있다. 이에 따라 기존의 IEC 60936 시리즈 및 IEC 60872 국제 규격은 폐지되었다. 본 논문에서는 현재 MED 인증시 적용되고 있는 IEC 62388을 개략적으로 소개하여, 현행 규격에 의한 선박용 레이더 시스템 개발시 의무적인 필수 요구사항을 고찰하고자 한다.

전파의 반사로 대상체의 위치를 측정하는 레이더는 2차대전 이래 사용되어 온 오랜 기술이다. 본시 적의 항공기나 선박을 탐지하는 군사용으로 개발된 레이더는 차츰차츰 민생용으로 전환되면서 항공기와 선박들은 이 기술을 이용하여 충돌을 피하는가 하면 천문학자들은 천체의 표면을 그리는데 사용하고 기상전문가들은 이 기술을 이용하여 폭풍을 추적한다. 그러나 몇해 전만해도 담배값 크기의 싼 개인용레이더가 등장하여 인간활동의 구석구석까지 침투할 것이라고 예상한 사람은 거의 없었다.

The accident of the small vessel is increasing due to the growth of the sea and service industry. According to data from National Statistical Office, for 100 ton less than small ship accident, the most of the shipping incident generated in the small ship by 84% of the total shipping incident in 2015. The radar obligatory mounting is enforced to the small vessel in order to conclude this problem. However, the problems including the maintenance cost and transmission power etc. happens high if the existing pulse radar is mounted in the small vessel. In this development, the development is for small ship fixed type radar the object. And in this paper, by using the phase array antenna revolving electronically around the beam, the antenna which it is applicable to the marine fixed type radar which can solve above problem was made and it tested.

Recently, camera and RADAR are used for more effective and accurate observation of the bird migration. In recent years, many researches on the bird migration using RADAR are undertaking and in active, thus causes the advent of "RADAR ornithology" as a new academic field. Due to the lack of accessibility, economic feasibility and mobility of weather RADAR, airport searching RADAR and tracking RADAR, Nowadays, a marine RADAR is widely used for a bird observation. In this paper, we deals with a study on development of a remote bird observation system using marine FMCW RADAR, which monitors, records and analyzes bird movement by RADAR image processing and target recognition technology. Also, we conduct first test and second test for availability of the developed system, and verify the system to apply in bird observation domain. Consequently, we figured problems out, and correct the problems to improve the system. The developed system can apply in other domains such as environment evaluation. In the future, the system needs to improve accuracy of statistics and to track migration route of bird.
