Irregular reflected signals on a sea surface make clutters to a ship's radar image. Clutters are similar to Gaussian white noises which are very harmful for detecting objecting at sea by a ship's radar. To remove the clutter effects, many papers show the algorithms by antenna, filters, and so on. This paper shows a new algorithm which uwes Wavelet and Morphology median filter conceps for removing clutter and enhancing image in order to detect well a distressed of being rescued ship in a rough weather condition at sea.

In this development, By using the phase array antenna, the beam around was electronically revolved and the marine fixed type radar of which the detection is possible was made and the check around was tested. There are the risk of the corrosion because of the abrasion of the axis of rotation and salinity with the way that the existing marine pulse radar detects the check by using the mechanical rotation. Besides, the maintenance cost of the magnetron gets to happen by using the detection signal. In this development, The fixed type radar of the low output which revolves electronically around the beam by using the radar signal processing method of the phase array antenna using the phase shifter and FMCW(Frequency Modulation Continuous Wave) method was made. And by using the fixed type radar, the check detection test was conducted.

To install a radar reflector on small ships, such as a small fishing vessel, a fishery buoy, and a barge ship for fishery, it is very important to develop the optimal system which may determine a proper installation location. For this, the response characteristics how waves have an effect on the small ships should be accurately analyzed. In this paper, we analyze the dynamic behaviors of small ships, which may be caused by irregular waves. To do this, we investigate how a barge ship responses to wavelength, water depth, and directions of incoming waves. The analyzed results shall be utilized to evaluate an effect on a radar cross section when we install an radar reflector on a barge ship for fishery and a small ship.

In this paper, we present a signal processing algorithm for a marine radar system, in which the evaluation of probability of collision as well as target detection and tracking are performed. Moreover, the digital signal processor that implements the algorithm is proposed. As simulation environment, a mechanically scanning antenna utilizing FMCW signal is used, conducting the beamforming operation with 1 degrees intervals. Test board consists of DSP chips and FPGA, which enable the implemented system to operate in real-time.

This paper describes the system for evaluating the sea wave informations such as wave direction and wave length in real time, by using image data obtained from the marine X-band radar. We proposed here a method for automatic selection of the partial image data without the user's individual selection at the radar. We also discussed that the wave direction could be obtained by a 2-dimensional discrete Fourier transform algorithm. We carried some evaluation works on the algorithm through computer simulation. The obtained thirteen radar image data under several sea surface conditions were analyzed by the method described and the result was presented.

This paper explains the comparison results of surface current measurement using X-band Radar image through analysis. Measurements were carried out from February 2022 using the X-band Radar for marin ships installed at Sokcho Beach. Based on the Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency ocean observation buoys, the accuracy of surface current(current speed) measurement was verified through comparison and analysis of measurement data.

선박관제용 VTS시스템은 레이더, 선박자동식별장치(AIS) 등을 이용하여 정보를 수집하여 관제정보가 필요한 선박국에게 초단파무선통신(VHF)를 통하여 전달한다. 레이더와 선박자동식별장치(AIS) 등은 장비를 이중화하여 안정적인 운영을 할 수 있지만, 관제장비에서 가장 중요한 역할을 담당하는 초단파무선통신(VHF)는 장비만을 이중화하는 것으로 부족한 이유는 바로 주로 선박국이나 육상국에서 일어나고 있는 KEYING현상 때문이다. 최근 제주, 목포, 완도, 여수연안 VTS 등에서 동시 발생한 VHF KEYING 현상을 분석하여 효율적인 대응 방안을 제시하고자 한다.

This paper introduces X-band radar-based surface current measurement technique. A marine X-band radar used for navigation was installed at Sokcho Beach to collect surface current data in real time. Based on this, in order to verify the accuracy of the measurement of surface current (Current speed), the Korea Hydrographic and Oceanographic Agency Marine observation buoy compared it with the data. Data collected from January 2022 were compared and as a result the possibility of surface current(Current speed) measurement using radar confirmed.

항해용 X-band 레이더는 물표탐지를 통한 안전한 항해를 목적으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 해당 목적을 위해서는 노이즈로 간주되는 해면반사파(sea clutter)신호는 제거하여 사용하지만, 본 연구에서는 노이즈로 간주되는 해면반사파 신호를 활용하여 파랑에 대한 정보(파고, 파주기, 파향 등)를 파악하는데 활용하였다. 레이더에서 방출되는 전자기파는 펄스의 길이에 의해 탐지할 수 있는 영역이 제한되어 있다. 펄스의 길이가 짧을수록 짧은 주기의 파랑을 계측할 수 있다는 장점이 있지만, 거리의 제약으로 인하여 대형선박의 실 운항시에는 활용하기 어려운 현실적인 딜레마가 있다. 본 연구에서는 삼성중공업, 오션알앤디가 개발한 WaveFinder 시스템을 이용하여 기존 short pulse 모드 뿐만아니라 midium pulse 에서의 활용 가능성을 실제 시운전을 통해 확인하였다.
