Ladar (Laser Detection And Ranging, Lidar) is a sensor to acquire precise distances to the surfaces of target region using laser signals, which can be suitably applied to ATD (Automatic Target Detection) for guided missiles or aerial vehicles recently. It provides a range image in which each measured distance is expressed as the brightness of the corresponding pixel. Since the precise 3D models can be generated from the Ladar range image, more robust identification and recognition of the targets can be possible. If we simulate the data of Ladar sensor, we can efficiently use this simulator to design and develop Ladar sensors and systems and to develop the data processing algorithm. The purposes of this study are thus to simulate the signals of a Ladar sensor based on linear frequency modulation and to create range images from the simulated Ladar signals. We first simulated the laser signals of a Ladar using FM chirp modulator and then computed the distances from the sensor to a target using the FFT process of the simulated signals. Finally, we created the range image using the distances set.

In this paper, we describe the designed digital waveform of a linear frequency-modulated (FM) chirp signal using field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) for image radar, and this signal is modulated with an I-Q modulator, and multiplied by 24 frequency multipliers to obtain a 94-GHz W-band wideband chirp generator. The developed chirp generator is an FM signal with a 94-GHz carrier frequency and a 960-MHz bandwidth, and the flatness is less than 1.0 dB at intermediate frequency (IF) (3.9 GHz), 2.0 dB in the W-band, and it has a 0.3-W output power in the W-band.

The design theory and experimental results of a true random noise radar system are presented in this paper. Target range information can be extracted precisely by correlation processing between the delayed reference and the signal received from a target, and the velocity information by the Doppler processing with successive correlation data. A K-band noise radar system was designed using random FM noise signal, and the characteristics of the fabricated system were examined with laboratory and outdoor experiments. A C-band random FM noise signal was generated by applying a low-frequency white Gaussian noise source to VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator), and a K-band Tx noise signal with 100 MHz bandwidth was obtained by using a following frequency multiplier. Two modified wave-guide horn arrays were designed and fabricated, and used for the Tx and Rx antennas. The required amount of Tx/Rx isolation was attained by using a coupling cancellation circuit as well as keeping them apart with predetermined spacing. A double down-conversion scheme was used in the Rx and reference channels, respectively, for easy post processing such as correlation and Doppler processing. The implemented noise radar performance was examined with a moving bicycle and a very high-speed target with a velocity of 150 m/s. The results extracted by the Matlab simulation using the logging data were found to be in a reasonable agreement with the expected results.

We have investigated the spectral characteristics of semiconductor lasers locked to the external light injected from a modulated laser. study on FM sideband injection locking has shown that when SLs are locked to the target sidebands of the directly modulated ML, the presence of the unselected sidebands influences the resulting microwave signals. The unselected signals can produce the unwanted beat signals around the desired beat signal, which degrade the overall system performance. This analysis way to generate Giga HZ signal generation.

본 논문에서는 ISM 대역에서 동작하는 상용화된 RF 모듈을 사용하여 근거리 통신용 송수신 시스템을 구현하고 그 특성을 측정하였다. 기저 대역 데이터를 발생시켜 RF 모듈에 연결하여 전송하고, 수신측에서는 RF 모듈에서 복조된 데이터를 오실로스코우프를 사용하여 확인하였다. 본 실험에서 사용한 RF 모듈은 424MHz부터 429MHz까지의 영역에서 동작하며, FM 방식을 사용한다. 본 대학의 산학협동관 건물내에서 측정한 결과 거리에 따른 신호 감쇠와 신호 수신 감도를 파악할 수 있었으며, 이를 이용하여 건물 내에서의 근거리 통신에 적용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, we fabricated along distance wireless communication transmitter and receiver over the 100 which used NRD technology. To make the transmitter and receiver of 400Hz band using the non radiative dielectric wave guide, transmitter was composed of gm oscillator, m modulator and antenna, receiver was composed of local gum oscillator, balanced mixer, 3dB direction coupler and antenna. Also we executed a wireless communication image transmission examination to the transmitter and receiver. We receive the image information in real-time data transmission from receiver after we send the image signal in the wireless distance of the 10km. Therefore, the 400Hz band U transmitter and receiver to be developed will be used widely for the transmission system CATV or broadband transmission system. This will be utilized also to the link device of a long distance high speed wireless communication network.

Two separate antennas are usually adopted in high performance radar systems to achieve the high degree of isolation since the transmission and reception of signals cannot be separated in time. However, even though two spatially separated antennas are installed in the system, strong signals from a transmission antenna can cause the serious interference problem in a receiving antenna. These strong interference signals from the transmission antenna can cause serious problems in detection and analysis of much weaker echo signals which are reflected by small targets. Also the increased level of background noise power due to interference can cause the serious degradation of the system performance. Therefore, in this paper, the proper cancellation method is suggested and results are shown and analyzed for removal of strong interference and background noise power.

The pulse compression technique using Linear FM signal is commonly used for improving the performance of both the detection range and range resolution in radar system. In general, the compressed LFM waveform has relatively large sidelobe level which may prevent a target from being detected when strong jammer or clutter signal is near the target signal. In this paper, we propose a new weighting method which uses the square-root weight to suppress the sidelobe level. Typical applications are missile seekers and tracking radar systems where target tracking range is available prior to the signal processing. By computer simulation, we show that the performance of the proposed method is better than that of the conventional weighting methods in terms of sidelobe suppression.

In order to detect the ultrasonic that is generated by the partial discharge of the heavy electric machinery, a Laser Doppler Vibrometer (LDV) was developed. A Michelson type interferometer which employed heterodyne signal process technique was built to measure the frequency and amplitude of vibration. The output signal of the fast photodetector was a frequency modulated signal centered at 40 MHz. The signal from the detector was amplified and downconverted to intermediate frequency centered at 1 MHz after mixing process. The voltage output that was proportional to the velocity of the moving surface(PZT) was obtained using PLL. The spectrum of the FM signal was analyzed and integration method was introduced to obtain amplitude information. This LDV can be used to measure the vibration of MEMS devices, automobiles, HDD and CDP.
