We have developed laser micro-machining technology for fabrication of the micro thin-film inductors. After the thin layers of FM/M/FM films were coated to the silicon substrate by using the conventional sputtering method, the new laser machining was applied to the patterning process that used to be carried out by the semiconductor lithography procedure. A CW Nd:YAG laser operating in TEM$\sub$00/ mode was actively Q-switched to obtain the very short pulse of 200 ns. The laser micro-machining process with pulse energy and repetition rate have been optimized as 5 mJ/pulse and 5 kHz, respectively, to obtain the line resolution as fine as 20 $\mu\textrm{m}$.

In a radar system using a continuous waveform, the separated antennas are needed for transmission and reception to increase the sensitivity of the receiver channel. Even for these separated antennas, the serious intereference in the weak echo signal can occur due to the relatively strong power of the transmitted waveform. Therefore, in this paper, the effects of this leakage interference on the receiving signal are analyzed according to the degree of antenna isolation.

In this paper, we have presented an improved design of the microwave level meter based on the principle of FM-CW radar. First, we have analyzed the effect of VCO nonlinearity on the spectral broadening of the beat signal, and presented a new type of design theory to linearize VCO tuning curve adopting FFT algorithm. Simulation results for a VCO having the linearity of 25% have been presented, which show the usefulness of the design algorithm.

In this paper, we have designed a microwave level meter based on the FM-CW radar theory using a YIG-tuned oscillator (YTO). YTO has an excellent frequency linearity, so a linearizer circuit is not necessary for the level meter. It is shown that interference signals reflected from nearby obstacles can be removed by using a digital band-pass filter. An FIR band-pass filter is designed using the Kaiser window. The distance measurement has been performed in the outdoor test field. The measurement data have been obtained for the range of 1~40m with 1m step, and the results show that the standard deviation of the measured data is 2.33 cm. The level meter manufactured in this study can be applied usefully in the industrial facilities which are not accessible easily, for example, to measure the level of molten metal in the iron and steel company.

잔향음 세한 환경에서 능동소오나를 운용시 잔향음은 표적탐지를 저해하는 중요한 요인으로 작용한다. 그러한 환경에서 잔향음을 효과적으로 제거하고 표적신호를 보존하기 위한 기법으로 priori estimation error를 사용하는 deterministic LSL(least squares lattice) 알고리즘을 적용하였으며, LSL 필터의 입력신호는 천해에서 고주파 센서를 이용하여 실측한 CW 및 FM 잔향음신호와 모의된 표적신호를 합성한 신호를 이용하였다. 모의 실험 결과 잔향음신호는 상당히 감소되었을 뿐 만 아니라 도플러 변화가 없는 표적신호에 대해서도 LSL필터는 양호한 응답을 보였다.

Generally, in the best-known Pulse-type type and Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave(FM/CW)-type RF range measurement systems, the nearest measurable distance between antenna of system and targets is limited to several tens of meters. Moreover, in case of high-speed targets it is more difficult to measure the distance precisely. In this paper we design our own RF(X-band) range(up to 15 meters) measurement system usi code correlation for high- speed targets. It 0 the correlation value between transmitting receiving PN (Pseudo -Noise) codes. So we determine the distance between antenna of s and targets using this correlation value. We fabricated it using MIC techniques and experimental results show that the proposed syste fully qualified for a short range measurement syste

The restrictions concerning the use of the radio waves have become severe, the marine radar with low spurious is being developed. Therefore, it is necessary to develop aids to navigation as a radar beacon can respond to new type of marine radar. Because the system of radar in the future is an indetermination, new radar beacon should correspond to old and new radar system during a transition period. New radar beacon that is also able to respond to pulse radar, pulse compression radar and FM-CW radar were considered in these years in Japan. The sign of the response of Morse code in a new system is generated by the delay synthesis system. Computer simulation and actual examination using trial circuit were curried out. A big possibility was set up in the development of the new radar beacon that was able to correspond to old and new radar system. These results and the state of new radar beacon is mentioned in this paper.

In this paper, we propose a new technique to compensate for the VCO nonlinearity using only the returned beat signal whose spectrum contains the internal reflections and the targets simultaneously. In the case of a distance measurement system using single antenna, the reflections from the circulator and the antenna are much larger than the return signal from target. The beat signal by these reflections is at much lower frequency than that of the target, and the VCO nonlinearity can be compensated for using these signals. Indoor experiments were carried out and the results show marked improvement in the shape of range profile and the range resolution.
