Ultra wideband radars attract considerable attention as a short range automotive radar because of its high range resolution. Radar signal reflected from a target often contains unwanted echoes called as clutter, so the detection of target is difficult due to clutter echoes. Therefore, it is important to investigate the radar detector for better detecting from the reflected signals. In this paper, the optimal detector is obtained for various mean and variance value in log-normal clutter environment. The types of non-coherent detectors used are square law detector, linear detector, and logarithmic detector. The performances of detectors are compared in log normal clutter environment and the suitable detector is determined for automotive short range radar application.

Automotive radar that is one of the most important equipment in high-tech vehicles, is commonly used to detect the speed and range of objects such as cars. In this paper, in addition to objects detection, a method of retrieving precipitation information using the automotive radar data is proposed. The proposed method is based on the fact that the degree of attenuation of the returned radar signal differs depending on the precipitation intensity and the assumption that the distribution of precipitation is constant in short spatial and temporal observation. The purpose of this paper is to assesses the possibility of retrieving precipitation information using a vehicle radar. To verify the feasibility of the proposed method during actual driving, a method of estimating precipitation information for each time segment of various precipitation events was applied. From the results of driving field experiments, it was found that the proposed method is suitable for estimating precipitation information in various rainfall types.

본 논문에서는 24~77GHz 대역의 충돌 방지 레이더 센서를 이용한 차량 충돌 방지 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안한 알고리즘은 센서로 부터 측정한 전압을 이용하여 전/후/좌/우의 차량의 접근 정보를 획득하고 이를 효율적으로 이용하여 다양한 상황에 따른 차량충돌방지를 할 수 있도록 구현되어 있다. 제안한 차량 충돌방지 알고리즘은 운행 중인 속도를 기반으로 속도구간별 운행정보를 계산하여 충돌방지를 실행한다. 본 연구에서 구현한 차량 충돌 방지 알고리즘은 차량 주행에서 좌우 차량충돌 없이 효율적으로 운행하는 특성을 보였다.

FMCW(Frequency Modulation Continuous Wave) Radar is very useful for vehicle collision warning system because of the simplicity. In this work, a signal processing part of FMCW vehicle radar system is implemented with flexibility using DSP, FPGA, ADC, and DAC so that the system could adopt lots of algorithm and could be improved through road test. It is shown that the system meets basic requirements as designed, and finds some problems in road test. We briefly discuss the problem which are caused by shadow effect from overlapped target and the distortion of beat frequency from the nonlinearity of VCO and the RCS of vehicle.

In this paper, we design the hardware platform and implement the embedded software based on the FPGA and the DSP for the automotive 77GHz FMCW radar system. This embedded software is built into the DSP as the multi-tasking architecture to support the basic target detection algorithm and the Ethernet link. The designed GUI(Graphic User Interface) provides ability to adjust parameters associated with the radar performance, to monitor signal processing results, and to download the raw received signal. The designed platform can be used to develop the optimal detection algorithms for the various applications.

Fisheries Surveillance System (FSS) is to protect fishing farms a thief. To implement the FSS a speacial test system which can be operate at any natural environments in the practical farm fields is needed. This paper describes some up coming results for the implementation of Radar Car as the special test system which consists of small van-type car, commercial Radar system, Radar Scan Converter(RSC) and, computer system. This Radar Car is designed to test the influences of sea clutter according to the height of Radar Scanner and to verify some effects of side-lobe suppression by special materials attached at each side of the Radar scanner. The post digital signal processing of digital radar signal comes from Radar Scan Converter(RSC) is also discussed, then designed and developed a new RSC in this study.

자동차 추돌 방지용 레이더는 도로 사정이나 기후에 따른 운전자의 인지 및 판단이 불가능한 상황에서도 차량 간의 추돌을 예방할 수 있는 시스템이다. 현재까지 연구 개발된 차량용 레이더는 초음파나 밀리미터 웨이브 등을 이용하므로 가격이나 크기 등에서 경쟁력을 갖추지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 적외선 레이저 다이오드를 매트릭스 형태로 배열한 다중 파장 구조 방식을 제안하였다. 이는 악천후에서의 탐지 능력을 개선시킬 수 있다. 또한 의사 잡음 수열의 상관 특성을 이용하여 인접 차량의 레이저 신호에 의한 간섭 영향을 최소화시킬 수 있기 때문에 차세대 ITS 기술 선점 및 산업 경쟁력을 확보 등의 효과를 기대할 수 있다.

This paper proposes a new switched-capacitor sigma-delta modulator for automotive radars. Developed modulator is used to perform high-resolution analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) of high frequency band signal in a radar system. It has supply voltage of 2.7V, and has body-effect compensated switch configuration with low voltage and low distortion. The modulator has been implemented in a $0.25{\mu}m$ double-poly and triple-metal standard CMOS process, and it has die area of $1.9{\times}1.5mm^{2}$. It showed better total harmonic distortion of 20dB than the conventional bootstrapped circuit at the supply voltage of 2.7V.
