최근 지구온난화의 영향으로 수 십분 만에 위험상황에 도달하는 돌발성 도시 집중호우가 빈발하고 이로 인한 피해가 급증하면서 기존 지상우량계 및 대형레이더 기반 도시홍수 관측체계에 대한 보완이 필요하게 되었다. 빠르고 정확한 도시홍수의 예측 및 예보를 위해서는 대형레이더 관측범위 이하의 빠른 저고도 관측이 필수이다. 이의 일환으로 우리나라에서도 소형 이중편파 X밴드 레이더를 도입하기 시작하였고 활용에 대한 연구가 시작단계에 있다. 일반적으로 소형레이더의 경우 빠른 운용이 가능하고 집중호우 관측과 같은 특정 목적에서 운영하기 때문에 도시 돌발홍수 예보를 위한 충분한 시간해상도의 자료 생산이 가능하다. 그러나 소형레이더를 이용하여 관측하더라도 고층 아파트나 빌딩이 밀집되어 있는 우리나라 도심 환경에서 관측반경내 전반에 대한 1km 이하 저고도 관측은 물리적으로 매우 어려운 현실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 한국건설기술연구원의 X밴드 이중편파 레이더로 관측된 다수의 연직 관측자료를 활용하여 호우의 연직 분포를 3차원으로 재생성한 후 이의 평균 단면 추세를 이용하여 관측고도 이하의 관측치를 추정하는 기법을 개발하였다. 기법의 적합성 평가를 위해 2013년, 2014년 주요 호우 사상에 대해 적용하였고, 검토결과 본 방법을 적용한 경우의 QPE가 기존 관측고도각을 이용한 QPE에 비해 정확도가 향상되는 것으로 나타났다.

In this paper, we performed the comparisons between polarization diversity using dual polarization antennal which has $\pm45^{\circ}$slanted linear polarization characteristics and conventional space diversity in rural and residential areas. The analysis was done by evaluating the diversity gain improvement and cross correlation coefficients between two received signals through each diversity branch. From the results, we could confirmed that space diversity has bigger diversity gain than polarization diversity by 1~2 dB, and there is a little difference of $\pm0.1$ in cross correlation coefficients by analyzing CDF under portable mobile phone environments.

저궤도위성 관제용 소형안테나시스템의 송수신채널은 저궤도위성의 특성상 안테나구동부의 물리적인 제약조건을 갖으며 이러한 제약조건은 Rotary Joint 포트 수에 의존한다. 다목적 실용위성 5호와 같이 RH 및 LH 편파를 동시 사용하는 위성의 경우 지상안테나의 RF채널은 물리적으로 4포트가 필요하게 된다. 이러한 물리적 채널을 구현하기위해서는 안테나구동부가 대형화될 뿐만 아니라 고비용의 소요된다. 이와 같이 대형화 및 고비용의 단점을 극복하기위하여 Channel Combine Filter를 적용하여 채널이중화를 구현하였으며 단일채널을 갖는 저궤도위성 지상안테나시스템을 RH 및 LH 편파를 동시수신 가능하도록 성능을 개선하였다. 금번 개발된 Channel Combiner는 하나의 물리적 채널을 이용하여 위성으로부터 수신되는 수신신호 및 지상에서 송신하는 송신신호를 동시에 전송하도록 설계한 것으로서 수신되는 신호대비 송신신호의 크기가 상대적으로 고출력이기 때문에 송수신신호간의 간섭영향을 최소화할 수 있도록 설계하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 채널이중화를 위하여 개발된 Channel Combiner의 설계방법 및 성능 시험결과에 대하여 상세하게 기술하였으며, 최종적으로 RH 및 LH 편파를 동시에 사용하는 저궤도 위성을 이용한 수신결과에 대하여 기술하였다.

In this paper, we propose a multiple dual-polarized antenna system for multi-user transmission in line-of-sight (LoS) dominant channel environments. By exploiting space and polarization resources efficiently, the proposed system achieves a higher sum rate than the existing multi-user multiple input multiple output (MU-MIMO) system with uni-polarized antennas.

A microstrip antenna having a dual polarization and a smaller size than feed horn polarizer of F.R.R.S(Faraday Rotation Rotary Switch) is designed, in which GaAs MESFET switches are inserted for selective reception of RHCP or LHCP. For an accurate analysis of the resonance frequency, input impedance and radiation pattern of the circularly polarized microstrip antenna, finite difference time domain (FDTD) method is used. When the GaAs MESFET switch in the feeder is ON-stats, the truncated patch antenna has a gain of about 16.6dB including amplifier gain, while the switch is OFF-state, this has a isolation level of -24dB.

A design approach for a radiation element of dual polarization, which can be implemented in the waveguide structure, is proposed. For minimization of the radiating element, the ridged waveguide type is used and for dual polarization, the microstrip type of printed dipole structure is additionally installed inside the waveguide. In order to validate the design approach, $1{\times}4$ array antenna is fabricated and its performances such as return loss, co-polarization coupling between adjacent channels, and radiation patterns are investigated. Theory and experiment are observed to be in good agreement. The radiating structure is thought to be a useful one in an application to the phased array antenna system, in particular, requiring dual polarization characteristics.

This paper describes the transmit/receive(T/R) module for the space based X-band active phased array radar. T/R module is the integrated module which is assembled by the transmitting and receiving RF semiconductor devices to enable the electronically beam steering of the phased array antenna and the key component of the SAR payload. T/R module can selectively receive the polarization signals by the switch according to the established technology but now the technological trend of the T/R module is to receive the horizontal and vertical polarization signal simultaneously. Therefore the research and development of the dual polarization receiving channel T/R module is actively in progress. In this study, as the prior research for the next generation SAR payload, the technological trend of the active phased array radar T/R module and the result of the preliminary design of the dual receiving channel T/R module were described.

Design and characteristic improvement of existing folded dipole antenna is presented to adopt W-CDMA(1.885~2.170 GHz) wideband antenna radiators. The antenna structure has +/- 45 degrees dual polarization. In order to overcome the narrow bandwidth and low gain characteristic typical of the microstrip antenna, double layered structure was employed. The antenna achieved below - 20 dB reflection coefficients each ports, - 20 dB of port isolation, above 7 dBi of gain, providing evidence that the proposed design can be used in the W-CDMA service frequency band antenna.

In this paper, we fabricated dual polarization microstrip array antenna to analyze the performance of polarization diversity of each antennas beamwidth and recommend suitable polarizations diversity antenna under indoor environments. The proposed antennas which have directional beam patterns are small, light and thin. Also they are $1\times4$ array and $4\times4$ array antenna with $70^{\circ}$, $20^{\circ}$ beamwidth, respectively. The center frequency is 1890 MHz, IMT-2000's frequency. We also measured the antennas characteristics of each beamwidth in various waveguide structured corridor and compared then with the case of space diversity using the dipole antenna. The measurement shows that the polarization diversity using directional dual polarization microstrip array antennas has more 1~7 dB diversity gain than the space diversity using the dipole antenna. Therefore, the proposed antennas are expected to be efficiently used for the design of optimal directional beam pattern antenna and diversity system for indoor environments.

Dual-polarization can distinguish precipitation type and dual-polarization is provide not only meteorological phenomena in the atmosphere but also non-precipitation echoes. Therefore dual-polarization radar can improve radar estimates of rainfall. However polarimetric measurements by transmitting vertically vibration waves and horizontally vibrating waves simultaneously is contain systematic bias of the radar itself. Thus the calibration bias is necessary to improve quantitative precipitation estimation. In this study, the calibration bias of reflectivity (Z) and differential reflectivity ($Z_{DR}$) from the Bislsan dual-polarization radar is calculated using the 2-Dimensional Video Disdrometer (2DVD) data. And an improvement in rainfall estimation is investigated by applying derived calibration bias. A total of 33 rainfall cases occurring in Daegu from 2011 to 2012 were selected. As a results, the calibration bias of Z is about -0.3 to 5.5 dB, and $Z_{DR}$ is about -0.1 dB to 0.6 dB. In most cases, the Bislsan radar generally observes Z and $Z_{DR}$ variables lower than the simulated variables. Before and after calibration bias, compared estimated rainfall from the dual-polarization radar with AWS rain gauge in Daegu found that the mean bias has fallen by 1.69 to 1.54 mm/hr, and the RMSE has decreased by 2.54 to 1.73 mm/hr. And estimated rainfall comparing to the surface rain gauge as ground truth, rainfall estimation is improved about 7-61%.
