A CW Doppler radar can measure radial velocity of an object. It detects a Doppler frequency shift that is proportioned to radial velocity of a moving object. To detect a Doppler frequency shift, FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) is conducted. In this process, the time domain received signal is transformed to a frequency domain. A number of FFT affects not only the time resolution but also signal to noise ratio of received signal. So finally it is related with a radial velocity accuracy. Therefore in this paper, it is described the relation of time resolution and the radial velocity accuracy.

This paper proposes a CW(Continuous-Wave) bio-radar applying a new adaptive noise canceller based on ALE(Adaptive Line Enhancer) which can remove the Gaussian noise and system noise. Recently the research works on this CW bio-radar which can be used to detect heartbeat and respiration are advanced by the university and research facility. Although the researches describe CW bio-radar not only is vulnerable for the Gaussian noise but also has a disadvantage of decreasing the heart-rate accuracy due to the noise, the researches do not demonstrate the effective method for removing the noise component in a baseband signal. In this paper, a CW bio-radar applying the new adaptive noise canceller based on ALE which can remove the noise component is proposed. This paper compares and analyzes the performance for increasing the heart-rate accuracy according to removing the Gaussian noise and system noise in the baseband signal through the quadrature receiver which can alleviate the demodulation sensitivity to target position.

It is necessary to estimate the Doppler spectrum for each range cell for the extraction of useful information from the return echoes in radar systems used for the remote sensing purpose such as detection of moving targets and weather surveillance. The signal amplitude in the beat frequency band is the important parameter in the detection and tracking of targets. However, strong clutter echoes do exist in most radar operation environments and the system phase noise spreads both the clutter and signal echoes of the target. In this paper, the effects of this system phase noise are analyzed concerning the clutter and the signal beat spectrum. It is shown that the separation capability of adjacent beat signal depends on the degree of spread in the clutter and beat signal caused by the radar system phase noise

A FM-CW radar is used for the various purposes as a remote sensing device since it has the advantages of the relatively simple implementation and the low probability of signal interception. A FM-CW radar uses the same frequency modulated continuous wave for both transmission and demodulation. Therefore, the received beat frequency represents the range and Doppler information of targets. However, using the conventional FFT method, the degree of accuracy and resolution in the spectrum estimation can be seriously degraded in the detection and tracking of fast moving targets because of the short dwell time. Therefore, in this paper, the model parameter estimation methods called as an autoregressive method is applied to overcome these problems and showed that the improved accuracy and resolution can be obtained for the target range and velocity estimation.

An antifungal chitinase, ChiCW, produced by Bacillus cereus 28-9 is effective against conidial germination of Botrytis elliptica, the causal agent of lily leaf blight. ChiCW as a modular enzyme consists of a signal peptide, a catalytic domain, a fibronectin type-III-like domain, and a chitin-binding domain. When two C-terminal domains of ChiCW were truncated, $ChiCW{\Delta}FC$ (lacking the chitin-binding domain and fibronectin type III-like domain) lost its antifungal activity. Since $ChiCW{\Delta}C$ (lacking the chitin-binding domain) could not be expressed in Escherichia coli as $ChiCW{\Delta}FC$ did, a different strategy based on protein engineering technology was designed to investigate the involvement of the chitin-binding domain of ChiCW ($ChBD_{ChiCW}$) in antifungal activity in this study. Because ChiA1 of Bacillus circulans WL-12 is a modular enzyme with a higher hydrolytic activity than ChiCW but not inhibitory to conidial germination of Bo. elliptica and the similar domain composition of ChiA1 and ChiCW, the C-terminal truncated derivatives of ChiA1 were generated and used to construct chimeric chitinases with $ChBD_{ChiCW}$. When the chitin-binding domain of ChiA1 was replaced with $ChBD_{ChiCW}$, the chimeric chitinase named ChiAAAW exhibited both high enzyme activity and antifungal activity. The results indicate that $ChBD_{ChiCW}$ may play an important role in the antifungal activity of ChiCW.

In this paper, we have proposed and experimentally performed a polarization and phase control method of an optical signal which has same wavelength with the optical carrier to improve phase characteristics of a continuous wave(CW) generated by the double sideband-suppressed carrier(DSB-SC) as one of the famous photomixing technique for making sub-millimeter and terahertz waves. A polarization and phase controlled optical signal has been coupled with the general DSB-SC on an optical coupler. The output of the optical coupler is then photomixed by a photomixer. From our analysis and measurement results, we have found that the amplitude of the generated sub-mm and terahertz CW signal is higher 1.5 dB and the phase noise is lower about 3 dB@10 kHz offset frequency than the general DSBSC. Consequently, since our proposed method has improved the amplitude and phase noise of CW signals in the sub-mm and terahertz bands, it can be helpful results to make low cost CW generator in sub-millimeter and subterahertz bands.

To protect VHF FM radio receiver from the strong interference signal, the study of antenna processor causes a strong interference signal(CW, AM, FM) to be suppressed a level below a weaker desired signal by pointing a spatial null(effective attenuation = 35dB) in the direction of the interference against a stational jamming signal.

본 논문에서는 수신된 CW 신호로부터 Morse 코드를 자동 인식하는 알고리듬을 제안하였다. 전체 알고리듬은 수신된 CW 신호로부터 잡음 및 간섭신호 성분을 제거하고 신호의 존재유무를 판정하는 부분, 신호 길이의 변화를 극복하여 Morse 코드의 요소(Long, Short, Null set)로부터 코드로 판독하는 부분으로 구성되었다. 제안된 알고리듬은 CW 신호의 주파수, 위상 및 길이 정보가 필요 없으며, 모의 실험 결과, SNR -15dB, $20\%$의 신호 길이 변화 환경에서도 $100\%$의 해석률을 나타내었다.

It is necessary to estimate the Doppler spectrum for each range cell for the extraction of useful information from the return echoes in radar systems used for the remote sending purpose such as detection of moving targets and weather surveillance. The signal amplitude in the given frequency band is the important parameter in the detection and tracking of targets. However, the system performance can be seriously degraded if the efficient removal of the strong clutter is not possible. If the phase noise spreads both the signal and clutter, the clutter removal can be very difficult and the accuracy of frequency estimates is also deteriorated. Therefore, in this paper, the effects of phase noise are analyzed in the estimation of beat frequencies.

An automatic point traffic control method is recommended for more idealistic traffic flow over coarse road netowrks. The automatic control apparatus recommended, consists of a transceiver, amplifier, digital-to-analog converter, signal light controller for emergency and steady state, and digital counter as monitor. The transmitter sends a signal to the target vy means of Microwave-FM-CW and a diode detector picks up the echo signal. Thus the operation of the entire system will be carried out through an open loop state. Some factors necessary for an ideal detector system are rapid response, longevity and stability. An analytical method of the Doppler effect substitutes the conventional frequency deviation into the amplitude of detector output. The changing rate of amplitude is proportional to the voltage of the detector output. Some induced formula from Maxwell's radiation field theory ensures this new method, and, new method, and proves the fact with an experimental data presentation. Stability depends upon Klystron as an oscillator and a diode as a detector. the transceiver installation affects on the response and sensitivity of the system. In accordance with the detector output, several targets are easily classified by amplitudes on the scope. The traffic flow, i.e., target movement which is analyzed by the amplitude method, is shown through the scope and indicates it on the digital counter. The best efficiency for the amplitude analysis can be attained through use of an antenna having the highest sensitivity.
