This paper presents a non-contact measurement method of vital signal by the use of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) bio-radar system, configured with two antennas that are separated by a certain distance. The direction of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm for coherent sources was applied to detect vital signals coming from different spatial angles. The proposed MIMO bio-radar system was composed of two identical transceivers sharing single VCO with a PLL. In order to verify the performance of the system, the DOA estimation experiment was completed with respect to the human target at angles varying between $-50^{\circ}$ and $50^{\circ}$ where the bio-radar system was placed at distances (corresponding to 50 cm and 95 cm) in front of a human target. The proposed MIMO bio-radar system can successfully find the direction of a human target.

본 논문에서는 다중입력-다중출력(multiple-input, multiple-output: MIMO) 간섭계(interferometric) 레이다 네트워크 시스템을 기반한 MIMO 간섭계 역합성 개구면 레이다(inverse synthetic aparture radar: InISAR) 영상 형성기법에 관해 연구하였다. MIMO 간섭계 레이다 네트워크 시스템 내에서는 여러 바이스태틱 InISAR 영상들이 형성되며, 이들을 인코히리언트(incoherent)하게 합성함으로써 MIMO InISAR 영상을 형성할 수 있다. 여기서, 바이스태틱 InISAR 영상은 바이스태틱 기하구조 내에서의 표적에 대한 산란분포를 3차원의 형태로 도시한다. 상기 MIMO InISAR 영상에서는 다중 각도에서의 바이스태틱 산란 현상을 3차원의 형태로 도시하기 때문에, 표적의 다양한 산란 정보를 제공함과 더불어, 표적 식별 시 유용한 특징 벡터(feature vector)로써 활용될 수 있다. 시뮬레이션을 통해, 제안된 MIMO InISAR 영상 형성 기법을 이용함으로써 표적에 대한 다중각도에서의 바이스태틱 산란분포가 3차원의 형태로 도시되는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

This paper addresses the problem of robust waveform design for distributed multiple-radar systems (DMRSs) based on low probability of intercept (LPI), where signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and mutual information (MI) are utilized as the metrics for target detection and information extraction, respectively. Recognizing that a precise characterization of a target spectrum is impossible to capture in practice, we consider that a target spectrum lies in an uncertainty class bounded by known upper and lower bounds. Based on this model, robust waveform design approaches for the DMRS are developed based on LPI-SINR and LPI-MI criteria, where the total transmitting energy is minimized for a given system performance. Numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.

다층 방어 시스템은 표적의 장거리 조기탐지를 위해 조기 경보 레이다를 활용하고, 정밀 요격 통제를 위해 대공 레이다를 활용하는 방식을 취한다. 그러므로 레이다들 사이에 표적 인계 과정을 필요로 하게 되는데, 추적의 안정화 및 교전 통제를 고려하여 적절한 시점에 표적 인계가 이루어져야 한다. 본 논문에서는 다층 레이다 시스템의 운용 특성을 분석하고, 고속표적에 효과적으로 대응하기 위한 추적 성능 예측 기반의 표적 인계 시점 결정기법을 제안하였다. 또한, 탄도탄 방어 시나리오를 포함하는 통합 시뮬레이터 환경에서 제안 기법을 검증하였다.

It is important for advanced active safety systems and autonomous driving cars to get the accurate estimates of the nearby vehicles in order to increase their safety and performance. This paper proposes a sensor fusion method for radar and vision sensors to accurately estimate the state of the preceding vehicles. In particular, we performed a study on compensating for the lateral state error on automotive radar sensors by using a vision sensor. The proposed method is based on the Interactive Multiple Model(IMM) algorithm, which stochastically integrates the multiple Kalman Filters with the multiple models depending on lateral-compensation mode and radar-single sensor mode. In addition, a Probabilistic Data Association Filter(PDAF) is utilized as a data association method to improve the reliability of the estimates under a cluttered radar environment. A two-step correction method is used in the Kalman filter, which efficiently associates both the radar and vision measurements into single state estimates. Finally, the proposed method is validated through off-line simulations using measurements obtained from a field test in an actual road environment.

An architecture for multiple radar tracking systems can be broadly categorized according to the methods in which the tracking functions are performed : central-level tracking and distributed tracking. In the central-level tracking, target tracking is performed using observations from all radar systems. This architecture provides optimal solution to target tracking. In distributed tracking, tracking is performed at each radar system and the composite track information is formed through track fusion integrating multiple radar-level tracks. Track-to-track fusion and track-to-track association are required to perform in this architecture. In this paper, issues and recent research on the two tracking architectures are surveyed.

In this paper, we study the estimation of angle, range and polarization parameters of a bistatic polarization sensitive frequency diverse array multiple-input multiple-output (PSFDA-MIMO) radar system. The application of polarization sensitive array in receiver is explored. A signal model of bistatic PSFDA-MIMO radar system is established. In order to utilize the multi-dimensional structure of array signals, the matched filtering radar data can be represented by a third-order tensor model. A joint estimation of the direction-of-departure (DOD), direction-of-arrival (DOA), range and polarization parameters based on parallel factor (PARAFAC) algorithm is proposed. The proposed algorithm does not need to search spectral peaks and singular value decomposition, and can obtain automatic pairing estimation. The method was compared with the existing methods, and the results show that the performance of the method is better. Therefore, the accuracy of the parameter estimation is further improved.

This paper presents a multiple target tracking system using Normalized Rayleigh likelihood of amplitude information of target. Although many studies of Radar systems using amplitude information have been studied, they are focused on single target tracking. This paper proposes the multiple target tracking using amplitude information as well as kinematic information from Radar sensor. The amplitude information are applied in generating the association probability of joint probabilistic data association(JPDA) algorithm through the normalized Rayleigh likelihood. It is verified that the proposed system can enhance the track maintenance and tracking accuracy, especially, in the target crossing case.

This paper proposes a systematic method for estimating detection performances of a frequency-modulated continuous wave radar using electromagnetic simulations. The proposed systematic method includes a radar system simulator that can obtain range-Doppler images using the electromagnetic (EM) simulations in conjunction with a test setup employed for performance evaluation of multiple targets at different velocities in a traffic environment. This method is then applied for optimizing the half-power beamwidths of the antenna array using an evaluation metric defined to improve the detection strengths for the multiple targets. The optimized antenna has vertical and horizontal half-power beam widths of $10^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$, respectively. The results confirm that that the proposed systematic method is suitable to improve the radar detection performance with the enhanced radar-Doppler images.
