In this paper, we propose a new method to automatically recognize PRI modulation type of radar signal at ES(Electronic Support) in electronic singal environment. The propose method stores pattern of PRI(Pulse Repetition Interval) of radar signal and uses statistic data, which firstly classifies into 2 classes. Then the proposed method recognizes each PRI signal using statistic characteristic of PRI. We apply various 5 kinds of PRI signal such as constant PRI, jitter PRI, D&S(dwell & switch) PRI, stagger PRI, sliding PRI, etc. The result shows the proposed method correctly identifies various PRI signals.

An airborne radar is an essential aviation electronic system of the aircraft to perform various missions in all weather environments. This paper presents the design, development, and test results of the multi-mode pulsed Doppler radar system test model for helicopter-borne flight test. This radar system consists of 4 LRU units, which include ANTU(Antenna Unit), TRU(Tx Rx Unit), RSDU(Radar Signal & Data Processing Unit) and DISU(Display Unit). The developed technologies include the TACCAR processor, planar array antenna, TWTA transmitter, coherent I/Q detector, digital pulse compression, DSP based Doppler FFT filtering, adaptive CFAR, IMU, and tracking capability. The design performance of the developed radar system is verified through various helicopter-borne field tests including MTD (Moving Target Detector) capability for the Doppler compensation due to the moving platform motion.

This paper improves Sherman's two-pulse method for angle estimation of two unresolved targets in phase comparison monopulse radar. The proposed method provides the angle information with only a single-pulse measurement instead of two pulses. The proposed method can estimate a single-target angle by single-target indicator, in contrast with previous techniques. The accuracy of angle estimation for proposed method is demonstrated by simulations.

For the phase measurement in the radar system using the magnetron pulse source, the STALO (Stable Local Oscillator) frequency need to be controlled to provide the stable intermediate frequency. In radar receiver, AFC(Automatic Frequency Control) circuit detects the transmitting frequency change and controls the STALO frequency to keep the intermediate frequency stable. In this paper, we designed and implimented AFC circuits for radar receiver. The frequency deviation is detected and compared with the reference frequency and the STALO frequency is controlled by the digital command signal.

As radar signal environments become denser and more complex, the capability of high-speed and accurate signal analysis is required for ES(Electronic warfare Support) system to identify individual radar signals at real-time. In this paper, we propose the new novel clustering algorithm of radar pulses to alleviate the load of signal analysis process and support reliable analysis. The proposed algorithm uses KDE(Kernel Density Estimation) and its CDF(Cumulative Distribution Function) to compose clusters considering the distribution characteristics of pulses. Simulation results show the good performance of the proposed clustering algorithm in clustering and classifying the emitters.

It is very essential to remove a strong ground clutter and moving clutter for an extraction of accurate information from a Doppler weather radar. Therefore, this paper proposed the use of an adaptive array antenna to overcome the shortages of a conventional weather radar. In the first, a simulation method was suggested for the generation of clutter and weather signals. Using these data, the performance of a weather radar was analyzed under various conditions. It is shown that the quality of pulse-pair estimates was greatly improved from the simulation results.

Accurate altimetry is required for the reliable flight control of drones or unmanned air vehicles (UAVs), and the radar altimeter is commonly used owing to its accuracy for the ground level. Due to the limitation for size, weight and power consumption, the frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar is appropriate for drone because it has lower complexity than that of pulse Doppler (PD) radar. Especially, fast-ramp FMCW radar, which transmits linear FM signal during very short period, is generally utilized, because it is robust for the ego-motion of drone. Therefore, we present the design and implementation results of the radar signal processor (RSP) for fast-ramp FMCW radar system. The proposed RSP was designed with Verilog-HDL and implemented with Altera Cyclone-IV FPGA device. Implementation results show that the proposed RSP includes 27,523 logic elements, 15,798 registers and memory of 138Kbits and can measure the altimeter at the rate of 100Hz with the operating frequency of 50MHz.

We designed an x-band radar for motion detector using a frequency tunable hairpin ring resonator. The proposed doppler radar sensor can vary the oscillation frequency by applying a hairpin resonator using a varactor diode to the oscillator, and this can also reduce the size by transmitting and receiving a signal from Tx/Rx dual antenna. The fabricated doppler radar sensor was fabricated in $30{\times}24mm$, and it was confirmed that the pulse width difference occurred according to the distance from the object. The measurement results showed oscillation at 10.525GHz. We confirmed that it is enough to use as radar for motion detection from the measured results.

This paper proposes the target path detection algorithm using statistical characteristics of an activated time lag along a moving path of target from a neighboring sensor in PDR(Pulse Doppler Radar) sensor node environment based on USN(Ubiquitous Sensor Network) with a limitation detecting only an existence of moving target. In the proposed algorithm, detection and non-detection time lag obtained from the experimental data are used. The experimental data are through repetitive action of each 500 times about three path scenarios such as passing in between two sensors, moving parallel to two sensors, and turning through two sensors. From this experiments, error detection percentages of three path scenarios are 5.67%, 5.83%, and 7.17%, respectively. They show that the proposed algorithm can exactly detect a target path using the limited PDR sensor nodes.
