능동 합성개구레이더 위성의 주요기동은 SAR 안테나 방향을 바꾸기 위한 롤축 기동이다. 그리고 도플러 중심주파수 변화를 최소화하기 위하여 요축 기동이 요구된다. 따라서 토크/모멘텀 용량을 대부분 롤축으로 그 다음으로 요축으로 할당하는 것이 합리적이다. 하지만 궤도 조정 때문에 가끔씩 피치축으로 중심으로 큰 각도의 회전이 요구된다. 본 논문에서는 롤축과 요축의 연속회전을 통한 피치축 기동시간 단축 방법에 대해서 살펴본다. 이들 두 축이 피치축에 비해서 기동성능이 좋기 때문에, 피치축을 중심으로 큰 회전이 요구될 때는 기동시간 단축이 가능하다.

SAR interferometry (InSAR) using the space-borne Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) have recently become one of the most effective tools monitoring surface changes caused by landslides, earthquakes, subsidences or volcanic eruption. This study focuses on examining the feasibility of InSAR using the RADARSAT data. Although the RABARSAT SAR with its high resolution and variable incidence angle has several advantages for repeat-pass InSAR, it has two key limitations: first, the orbit is not precisely known; and second, RADARSAT's 24-day repeat pass interval is not very favourable for retaining useful coherence. In this study, two pairs of RADARSAT data in the Nahanni area, NWT, Canada have been tested. We will discuss about the special consideration required on the interferometric processing steps specifically for RADARSAT data including image co-registration, spectral filtering in both azimuth and range, estimation of the interferometric baseline, and correction of the interferogram with respect to the "flat earth" phase contribution. Preliminary results can be summarized as: i) the properly designed azimuth filter based upon the antenna characteristic improves coherence considerably if difference in Doppler centroid of the two images is relatively large; ii) the co-registration process combined by fringe spectrum and amplitude cross-correlation techniques results in optimal matching; iii) the baseline is not always possible to be estimated from the definitive orbit information.

Recently, ESA (European Space Agency) has launched CryoSAT-2 for polar ice observations. CryoSAT-2 is equipped with a SIRAL (SAR/interferometric radar altimeter), which is a high spatial resolution radar altimeter. Conventional altimeters cannot measure a precise three-dimensional ground position because of the large footprint diameter, while SIRAL altimeter system accomplishes a precise three-dimensional ground positioning by means of interferometric synthetic aperture radar technique. In this study, we developed an efficient SIRAL SARIn mode processing technique to measure a precise three-dimensional ground position. We first simulated SIRAL SARIn RAW data for the ideal target by assuming the flat Earth and linear flight track, and second accessed the precision of three-dimensional geopositioning achieved by the proposed algorithm. The proposed algorithm consists of 1) azimuth processing that determines the squint angle from Doppler centroid, and 2) range processing that estimates the look angle from interferometric phase. In the ideal case, the precisions of look and squint angles achieved by the proposed algorithm were about -2.0 ${\mu}deg$ and 98.0 ${\mu}deg$, respectively, and the three-dimensional geopositioning accuracy was about 1.23 m, -0.02 m, and -0.30 m in X, Y and Z directions, respectively. This means that the SIRAL SARIn mode processing technique enables to measure the three-dimensional ground position with the precision of several meters.

We studied a fine-scale half ring-like structure around a pore seen from the high spectral and the high spatial resolution data. Our observations were carried out using the Fast Imaging Solar Spectrograph (FISS) and the InfraRed Imaging Magnetograph (IRIM) installed at the 1.6 meter New Solar Telescope of Big Bear Solar Observatory (BBSO) on 2012 July 19. During the observations, we found a fine-scale half ring-like structure located very close to a pore (~0.4 arcsec apart from the pore). It was seen in the far wing images of the $H{\alpha}$ and Ca II $8542{\AA}$ lines, but it was not seen in the line center images of two lines. The length of the structure is about 4200 km and the width is about 350 km. We determined its line-of-sight velocity using the Doppler shift of the centroid of the Ti II line ($6559.6{\AA}$, close to the $H{\alpha}$ line) and determined horizontal velocity using the NAVE method. we also investigated the magnetic configurations using the Stokes I, Q, U, and V maps of the IRIM. As a results, we found that it has a high blue-shift velocity (~2km) faster than the photospheric features and has a strong horizontal component of the magnetic field. Based on our findings, we suggest that it is associated with small flux emergence, which occurs very close to the pore. Even though it is very small structure, this kind of magnetic configuration can be in chare of the upper chromosphere heating, especially above the pore.

Spaceborne radar interferometry has been widely used to estimate the topography and deformation of the Earth. It is difficult to obtain coherent interferometric SAR pairs especially over coastal areas mainly because of variation of surface conditions. We carried out the experiment using a cross-interferometric pair with a perpendicular baseline of about 1.4 km, a 30 minutes temporal separation and the height sensitivity of about 6 meters. The temporal decorrelation can be reduced by the cross interferometric technique with a 30 minutes temporal separation. Accurate coregistration was performed through resampling of ENVISAT ASAR data to equivalent pixel spacing to the ERS SAR data, because of the differences of the pulse repetition frequency and range sampling rate between the two sensors. Then we estimated range and azimuth offset to a sub-pixel accuracy using image intensity cross correlation. A larger window chip size than a general case was used because it was difficult to distinguish typical features. As range bin increased, the difference of Doppler centroid also increased. It resulted in lower coherence in far range than in near range. Coherences over wetland in near and far range were about 0.8 and 0.5, respectively. The coherence was improved by applying azimuth and range common band filtering, but coherence gap still existed. ERS-ENVISAT cross-interferogram usually lost information in urban area. However, high coherence over a city in this pair was shown, because of less man-made structures than other major cities. Accuracy of the DEM constructed by the ERS-ENVISAT 30-minute pair in a coastal area is to be evaluated.

Since the change in Doppler centroid according to moving targets brings alteration to the phase in azimuth differential signals of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data, one can measure the velocity of the moving targets using this effect. In this study, we will investigate theoretically measuring the velocity of an object from azimuth differential signals by using range compressed data which is the interim outcome of treatment from the simulated SAR raw data of moving targets on the background of sea clutter. Also, it will provide evaluation for the elements that affect the estimation error of velocity from a single SAR sensor. By making RADARSAT-1 simulated image as a specific case, the research includes comparisons for the means of velocity measurement classified by the directions of movement in the four following cases. 1. A case of a single target without currents, 2. A case of a single target with tidal currents of 0.5 m/s, 1 m/s, and 3 m/s, 3. A case of two targets on a same azimuth line moving in a same direction and velocity, 4. A case of a single target contiguous to land where radar backscatter is strong. As a result, when two moving targets exist in SAR image outside the range of approximately 256 pixels, the velocity of the object can be measured with high accuracy. However, when other moving targets exist in the range of approximately 128 pixels or when the target was contiguous to the land of strong backscatter coefficient (NRCS: normalized radar cross section), the estimated velocity was in error by 10% at the maximum. This is because in the process of assuming the target's location, an error occurs due to the differential signals affected by other scatterers.

SAR를 이용한 지상이동물체탐지(GMTI)는 SAR의 주요 활용 기술 중 하나이다. 최근 위성 탑재 SAR 시스템의 해상도가 높아지면서 지상이동목표물 탐지의 유용성은 더욱 강조되고 있다. 현재까지 다양한 지상이동물체탐지 기법이 개발되었으나 대부분은 다중채널 SAR 시스템을 이용하는 기술에 집중되었다. 그러나, 아직도 단일채널 SAR 영상으로부터 지상 이동물체를 탐지하는 것은 매우 어려운 문제로 남아 있는 반면 다중채널 위성 탑재 SAR 시스템은 아직은 그 활용이 현실적으로 매우 제한적인 상황이다. 일단 지상의 목표물이 탐지되고 이동속도가 3 m/s(약 10.8 km/h) 이상인 경우 그 목표물의 이동속도는 단일채널 SAR 자료라도 오차범위 약 5%의 정밀도로 복원 가능하다. 따라서 단일채널 SAR 자료로부터 지상의 이동물체 자체를 탐지하는 것이 핵심이며, 이 논문에서는 SAR Single-Look Complex(SLC) 영상자료에 미분을 적용하여 쉽고 빠르게 탐지하는 방법을 제시한다. 이 논문에서는 SAR SLC 자료의 미분 값은 도플러 중심주파수를 나타냄을 유도하고, 따라서 미분 값은 지상이동물체 탐지에 매우 효과적임을 설명하고자 한다. 이 논문에서 제시하는 미분 방법의 결과와 정밀한 속도복원 방법의 상관계수 $R^2$ 는 0.62로 나타났으며, 이는 이동물체를 탐지하는 데는 충분함을 지시한다. 이 방법은 매우 단순한 미분으로 도플러 중심주파수 분석에 근거하고 있으나 최종 자료처리에 앞서 도플러 경사도를 제거해야 하며, 적용결과의 효율성과 신뢰도는 이 도플러 경사도 제거 과정에 크게 좌우된다. 지상에 모서리 산란체를 탑재하고 이동속도를 조절한 실험용 차량과 이를 관측한 TerraSAR-X SLC 자료를 이용하여 검증을 실시하였다. 검증결과 지상 이동물체를 매우 쉽게 탐지하면서도 정지된 상태의 강한 산란체는 약 18.5 dB의 신호파워를 줄여 효과적으로 제거 하는 것으로 나타났다. 현재 이 방법은 지상의 이동속도 8.8 km/h 이상인 경우 매우 효과적이며, 아리랑-5호를 비롯한 모든 단일채널 SAR 시스템에 적용 가능하다.
