In this paper, we analyze the tracking errors of monopulse radar according to the JSR of retrodirective cross-eye and radar skin return signals. The cross-eye jammer gain(G_c) is used to calculate the radar tracking errors, and the relationship between the jammer gain and the JSR is represented mathematically. We analyze the radar tracking errors by varying the tracking angle and JSR. Analysis results of the phase difference(ϕ) and amplitude ratio(a) between the two jammer signals and the changing JSR show that the closer the phase difference of the two jammer signals is to 180, the greater the tracking error and it shows that if the JSR is above 20dB, the tracking errors no longer increase. This work presents an effective utilization of retrodirective cross-eye jammers through various tracking error analyses based on the JSR, tracking angles, two-jammer phase differences and amplitude ratios of two-jammer signals.

In this paper, we described the model of noise, target for tracking radar and range tracking, angle tracking, and Doppler frequency tracking for target acquisition and tracking. Target signal as well as the noise signal is modeled as random process varying with elapsed time. This paper addresses three areas of radar target tracking: range tracking, angle tracking, and Doppler frequency tracking. In general, range tracking is prerequisite to and inherent in both angle and Doppler frequency tracking systems. First, we introduced the several range tracking and described techniques for achieving range tracking. Second, we described the radar angle tracking techniques including conical scan, sequential lobing, and monopulse. Finally, we presented concepts and techniques for Doppler frequency tracking for several radar types.

This study analyzes the tracking accuracy(tracking errors) of fighter radar. Measurement error, detection failure, and radar cross section(RCS) fluctuation in radar measurements degrade the measurement quality and hence affect the tracking accuracy. Therefore, these radar measurement characteristics need to be considered when analyzing the tracking accuracy. In this paper, a method for analyzing the tracking accuracy is proposed; this method considers the detection error, detection probability, and RCS fluctuation. Results from experiments conducted with the proposed method show that the detection probability and RCS fluctuation affect tracking accuracy.

This paper analyze the hazard of electromagnetic radiation to personnel (HERP) and electromagnetic interference (EMI) by C-band tracking radar. Especially, this analysis defines the safety distance for the controlled & uncontrolled personnel from high power radiation of electromagnetic wave within the main beam of 3 degrees by C-band tracking radar. In addition to HERP, the analysis of electromagnetic interference between tracking radar and weather radar was accomplished to decide the safety distance for EMI protection.

The radar operated to detect/track aircraft targets is divided into a search radar that operates while the antenna rotating device rotates for the purpose of detecting the target according to the mission characteristics, and a tracking radar that periodically steers and tracks a beam to the predicted position of the target. The tracking radar has a shorter target information acquisition preiod than the search radar. Due to this characteristic, the tracking accuracy is better than that of the search radar, but as the prediction error increases due to the speed error at the beginning of the tracking, there are many cases in which tracking fails at the beginning of tracking due to failure to perform beam steering normally. In this paper, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems, we propose an algorithm for improving the accuracy of track initiation using radial velocity measurements in addition to the position of the measured, and confirm the performance of the proposed algorithm by comparing with the two point differential algorithm

In the past, radars have been classified into fire control radars, detection radars, tracking radars, and image acquisition radars according to the characteristics of the mission. However, multi-function radars perform various tasks within a single system, such as target detection, tracking, identification friend or foe, jammer detection and response. Therefore, efficient resource management is essential to operate multi-function radars with limited resources. In particular, the target threat for tracking the detected target and the method of selecting the tracking cycle based on this is an important issue. If focus on tracking a threat target, Radar can't efficiently manage the targets detected in other areas, and if you focus on detection, tracking performance may decrease. Therefore, effective scheduling is essential. In this paper, we propose the TaP (Time and Priority) algorithm, which is a multi-functional radar scheduling scheme, and a software design method to construct it.

In modern warfare, various target tracking radars are used for target location tracking. So, the importance of EA radar jamming technique which disrupt enemy target tracking radar in oder to neutralize tararget location tracking has increased. VGPO/I jamming is a base technique of EA(Electronic Attack), it is possible to operate to pulse-Doppler radar. In this papar, we develop VGPO/I jamming technique that can apply to phase sampled DRFM by using phase information and verifiy through simulations.

The tracking radar system is installed and operated on the ground, ships, and aircraft, and requires a design to withstand electromagnetic interference with nearby electronic devices. In this case, radiation and immunity standards for cable connection must be satisfied to prevent malfunction of other equipment due to electromagnetic wave interference caused by cables connected to the tracking radar. The radiation standard must also be satisfied so that the electromagnetic wave noise generated and radiated from the tracking radar does not affect the peripheral device, so that the immunity standard for the electromagnetic wave emitted from the peripheral device must be satisfied. In this paper, we propose a design to satisfy MIL-STD-461G including CE, CS, RE, and RS, and explain design satisfaction through tests.
