In this paper, the radar altimeter for topographic mapping over land is introduced and the characteristics of the return signals are analyzed. The radar system is described briefly and the requirements to get the fine resolution of the terrain surface height are considered. The designed radar altimeter was tested on the landscape in the near of Stuttgart. The measured data shows very fine profile of the test landscape and the height errors induced from different geometrical structure of the land surface are acquired in the measurement. In the test area, most characteristics of radar return signals over land could be tested and the results of the topographic mapping using our radar altimeter can be used for future radar altimeter development for land applications.

A development of a software on radar target signature analysis is presented in this paper The target signature includes Radar Cross Section(RCS) prediction, Range Profile(RP) processing and Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar(ISAR) processing. Physical Optics(PO) is the basic calculation method for RCS prediction and Geometrical Optics(GO) is used for ray tracing in the field calculation of multiple reflection. For RP and ISAR, Fast Fourier Transform(FFT) and Matrix Pencil(MP) method were implemented for post-processing. Those results are integrated into two separate softwares named as Radar Target Signature Generator(RTSG) and Radar Target Signature Analyser(RTSA). Several test results show good performances in radar signature prediction and analysis.

Recently, collision avoidance systems are under development to reduce the traffic accidents and driver comfort for automotive radar. Pulse radar can detect their range and velocities of moving vehicles using range gate and FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) of the doppler frequency. We designed the real time DSP(Digital Signal Processing) based automotive UWB(Ultra Wideband) radar, and implemented DSP to detect the range and velocity within 100ms for real time system of the automotive UWB radar. We also measured the range and velocity of a moving vehicle using designed automotive UWB radar in a real road environment.

FMCW Radar sensor is commonly used for an automobile collision avoidance system for rider's safe. Systems using FMCW radar, however, would be one of expensive solutions for just simple rear obstacle detection purpose due to its high cost. In this letter, a short range rear obstacle detector using novel 24GHz AM radar sensor is presented. It can be implemented at significantly lower cost than FMCW radar for practical commercialization. The proposed AM radar sensor module is fabricated in a single aluminum housing to reduce the overall size while using single power supply voltage of 12V with 1200mA current for automotive applications. The measured detection range is up to 210cm with 10cm of distance resolution, which is suitable for a parking assistance system for automobiles.

추적 레이다의 주요 기능은 목표물을 자동으로 추적하는 기능이다. 추적 레이다 중 진폭비교 모노펄스 레이다의 추적 원리를 이용하여 목표물의 각도를 추정할 수 있다. 목표물의 각도를 추정할 때 발생되는 잡음을 고려하여, 각도 오차 검출을 통해 동작하는 진폭비교 모노펄스 레이다의 성능을 분석하고자 한다. 또한 Taylor 전개 기반 근사로 얻은 추정값을 이용하여 진폭비교 모노펄스 레이다의 추정 성능을 예측할 수 있다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 진폭비교 모노펄스 레이다의 성능을 Mean Square Error(MSE) 오차로 정량화하여 해석한다.

Radar sensors are used for space situational awareness (SSA) to determine collision risk and detect re-entry of space objects. The capability of SSA radar system includes radar sensitivity such as the detectable radar cross-section as a function of range and tracking capability to indicate tracking time and measurement errors. The time duration of the target staying in a range cell is short; therefore, the signal-to-noise ratio cannot be improved through the pulse integration method used in pulse-Doppler signal processing. In this study, a method of improving the signal-to-noise ratio during range migration is presented. The improved detection performance from signal processing gains realized in this study can be used as a basis for comprehensively designing an SSA radar system.

Aircraft radar has special function which is ranging from aircraft to ground of antenna boresight. Because ranging information is used to calibrate altitude of aircraft or to drop a conventional bomb, the measuring have to be precise and robust. Therefore, we propose a simple and efficient method using monopulse radar for ground ranging. Proposed method calculates balancing weight according to linearity of monopulse ratio and mixes two ranging measurements in proportional to the weight. By exploiting balancing weight, radar is able to react to various environment as monopulse ratio contains characteristics of clutter environment. As a result, robust ranging information can be achieved. We use DEM(Digital Elevation Model) in order to simulate heterogeneous environment. In experimental result, it is shown that proposed method shows better accuracy and precision in any environment.

In this paper, we proposed an automatic threshold control method for radar warning receiver. Considering the noise level of the environment, this technique can effectively adjust sensitivity level of radar warning receiver and can offer more accurate radar information for aircraft pilot in noisy circumstances.

Locating reinforcing bars, in particular to know their accurate depths and horizontal distances, is very important in radar inspection of concrete structures. By the way, it is not easy for an accurate depth and horizontal distance estimation of reinforcing bars in concrete structures by the radar test. This problem can be solved by synthetic aperture radar method. To improve the vertical and horizontal resolution of reinforcing bars in concrete, synthetic aperture radar method was examined in this study.
