An airborne radar is an essential aviation electronic system of the helicopter to perform various missions in all-weather environments. This paper presents the results of the design and implementation of the airborne pulse doppler radar signal processor using high multi-DSP for the multi-function radar capability such as short-range, midium-range, and long-range depending on the mission of the vehicle. Particularly, the radar signal processor is developed using two DSP boards in parallel for the various radar signal processing algorithm. The key algorithms include LFM chirp waveform-based pulse compression, MTI clutter filter, MTD processor, adaptive CFAR, and clutter map. Especially airborne moving clutter Doppler spectrum compensation algorithm such as TACCAR is implemented for the multi-mode airborne radar system. The test results shows the good Doppler spectral separation for the clutter and the moving target in the flight test environment using helicopter.

Traditional three-dimensional (3-D) laser imaging systems are based on real aperture imaging technology, whose resolution decreases as the range increases. In this paper, we develop a novel 3-D imaging technique based on the synthetic aperture technology in which the imaging resolution is significantly improved and does not degrade with the increase of the range. We consider an imaging laser radar (ladar) system using the floodlight transmitting mode and multi-beam receiving mode. High 3-D imaging resolutions are achieved by matched filtering the linear frequency modulated (LFM) signals respectively in range, synthetic aperture along-track, and the real aperture across-track. In this paper, a novel 3-D imaging signal model is given first. Because of the motion during the transmission of a sweep, the Doppler shift induced by the continuous motion is taken into account. And then, a proper algorithm for the 3-D imaging geometry is given. Finally, simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

In shallow water environment, the detection performance of an active sonar using matched filter with LFM(linear frequency modulation) pulse can be seriously degraded by reverberation which is considered as non-white noise. To reduce the effect of reverberation, a whitening filter preceding the matched fitter, is usually adopted. In the conventional pre-whitening filter, it is assumed that local stationarity is preserved between detection block and its right ahead block. And then by using the characteristics of the reverberation of preceding block, the reverberation of detection block is estimated and whitened. According to the environment of shallow water, the stationarity of reverberation may be preserved for more blocks. In this case, the reverberation of the detection block can be estimated more accurately if more blocks are used. In this paper, the real reverberation signal which is obtained from shallow sea is analyzed and its proper region of estimation block is examined. And the performance of pre-whitening matched filter is compared and analyzed according to the region of estimation block.

In this paper, we propose an algorithm to classify the received active pulse when the active sonar system is operated as a non-cooperative mode. The proposed algorithm uses CNN (Convolutional Neural Networks) which shows good performance in various fields. As an input of CNN, time frequency analysis data which performs STFT (Short Time Fourier Transform) of the received signal is used. The CNN used in this paper consists of two convolution and pulling layers. We designed a database based neural network and a pulse feature based neural network according to the output layer design. To verify the performance of the algorithm, the data of 3110 CW (Continuous Wave) pulses and LFM (Linear Frequency Modulated) pulses received from the actual ocean were processed to construct training data and test data. As a result of simulation, the database based neural network showed 99.9 % accuracy and the feature based neural network showed about 96 % accuracy when allowing 2 pixel error.

In this study, we analyzed the beam time series of ocean reverberation which was conducted in the eastsouthern region of East Sea, Korea during the August, 2015. The reverberation data was gathered by moving research vessel towing LFM (Linear Frequency Modulation) source and triplet receiver array. After signal processing, we analyzed the variation of ocean reverberation level according to the seafloor bathymetry, source/receiver depth and sound speed profile. In addition, we used the normalized data by using cell averaging algorithm and identified the statistical characteristics of seafloor scatterer by using moment estimation method and estimated shape parameter. Also, we analyzed the coincidence of data with Rayleigh and K-distribution probability by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The results show that there is range dependency of reverberation according to the bathymetry and also that the time delay and the intensity level change depend on the depths of source and receiver. In addition, we observed that statistical characteristics of similar Rayleigh probability distribution in the ocean reverberation.

해수의 물리적 성질 변화에 의한 수중음속 변화는 수중음파 전파에 커다란 영향을 미친다. 매질변동에 의한 음파 전파경로 변동특성, 즉 음파 도달시간 변동에 의한 매질변위량 추정으로 해양을 탐사하는“해양음향 토모그라피”를 운용하기 위하여 비균질 매질에서의 음파 전파경로 파악이 우선이다. 수심이 일정한 비균질한 매질에서의 음파 전파경로를 파악하기 위해 파동방정식의 해를 Ray theory에 의거 ray path를 구하고 송,수신기 사이를 연결하는 eigenray 정보를 얻었다. 음원의 주파수가 400Hz($\pm$25Hz), pulse length가 20ms인 LFM pulse를 사용하였다. 이 음원을 동해의 최소음속층에서 송,수신하였을 경우 음원에서 150Km 떨어진 수신기에 도달한 신호는 평균음속분포 일 때 보다 약 66ms 정도 빨리 도착한다. 또한 Eigenray 정보에 의거 모의된 수신신호는 토모그라피 운용을 위한 필수 조건인 ray path의 식별, 안정성, 그리고 분해능을 만족한다. 또한 모의 수신신호 음파 도달시간 변동 분석으로 송,수신기 사이의 매질 변동을 파악 할 수 있다.

This paper report nanotribological behavior between Si tip and Cu wafer surfaces which was treated various concentration of $H_2O_2$. This experimental approach has proven atomic level insight into Cu CMP. It has been used to study interfacial friction and adhesion force between Si tip and Cu wafer surfaces in air by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Adhesion force of Cu surfaces which was pre-cleaned in diluted HF solution was lager than Cu oxide surfaces. Adhesion force of Cu oxide surface was saturated around 7 nN. Slope of normal force vs lateral signal was increased as increasing concentration of $H_2O_2$ and it was saturated around 24. Friction force of Cu oxide was lager than Cu.

This study attempts to test the classifying performance of a neural network and thereby examine its applicability to the signals distorted in a shallow water environment. Linear frequency modulated(LFM) signals are simulated by using an acoustic model and also measured through sea experiment. The network is constructed to have three layers and trained on both data sets. To get normalized power spectra as feature vectors, the study considers the three transforms : shot-time Fourier transform (STFT), wavelet transform (WT) and pseudo Wigner-Ville distribution (PWVD). After trained on the simulated signals over water depth, the network gives over 95% performance with the signal to noise ratio (SNR) being up to-10 dB. Among the transforms, the PWVD presents the best performance particularly in a highly noisy condition. The network performs worse with the summer sound speed profile than with the winter profile. It is also expected to present much different performance by the variation of bottom property. When the network is trained on the measured signals, it gives a little better results than that trained on the simulated data. In conclusion, the simulated signals are successfully applied to training a network, and the trained network performs well in classifying the signals distorted by a surrounding environment and corrupted by noise.

The experimental results of the model tests for the twin propeller cavitation noise are presented. The model test was carried out by means of procedure of noise measurement followed by the signal processing and full-scale extrapolation. In order to convert the measured sound pressure level into the sound source level, transfer function measurements for three conditions were performed according to the combination of locations and number of virtual sources. White noise and LFM signal were used as a source signals to examine the influence of the input signal. For the twin propellers, 5 transfer functions were defined and the results were discussed. Cavitation noise measurement tests were performed similarly to the transfer function measurement test. Noise source localization analysis was performed to confirm the test effectiveness. It was confirmed that the source level of the twin propeller can be estimated reliably by using transfer function corrections. Finally, the model test results were converted into full-scale by applying the ITTC '87 model-ship scaling raw, and the validity of the model test was confirmed by comparison with the full-scale measurement result.

In the defence wireless communications, conventional Anti-Jamming techniques(Frequency Hopping/Spread Spectrum or Direct Sequence/Spread Spectrum) are used to overcome a intentional interfering signals which are single/multitone or partial band jammer etc. DS/SS techniques is very strong on tone jamming signal but not to be on a partial band jammer. So FH/SS AJ performances are expected method of an substitution of DS/SS, however FH/SS could not have good performance on some BMTJ(Band Multi-tone Jammer). So this paper proposes FH-CSS (Frequency Hopped - Chirp Spread Spectrum) to get more robustness against jammers(BMTJ, PBNJ) and analyze the AJ performances.
