  • There are several improved designs of passive radar reflector available, but their performance is ultimately limited by the cross-section area and this is governed by the size of the buoy and the acceptable windage. Therefore it is needed to investigate the low-cost, low power, a active device that can be improve the reliability of response. Active Radar Reflector(AAR) consists of a microwave amplifier with separate receive and transmit antennas. It is a device which automatically transmits a signal in response to an interrogating signal received. It was intended to improve the consistency of the radar return from the buoy and the small craft, particularly in poor sea conditions. And it directly improves safety of navigation at sea.

  • This paper describes on the development of Passive-type Radar Reflector for Fisheries (PRR-F) based on the newly revised 2000 SOLAS regulations. The purpose of PRR-F is to provide it as the protection devices of a fishing net and a fishing field. The PRR-F is composed of corner cluster bundle of light galvanized iron, and it is inserted into floating styrofoam. Performance tests for the PRR-F are carried out in an anechoic chamber. The test results show that the reflected radar signal from PRR-F is large enough for the purpose.

  • A distributed system for tracking multiple targets with a pair of multifunction radars is proposed and implemented. The system performs track-to-track association and track-to-track fusion at the fusion center to form fused tracks. The association and fusion are performed using target state information linked via communication nodes from a radar at a remote location. Many factors can affect the track-to-track association and fusion performances. They include delays in data transmission buffer of the remote radar, the error in estimating time-stamp of the remote radar, and the gating in track-to-track association. The effects on association and fusion performances due to these factors are investigated through extensive numerical simulations.

  • For designing the radar integrated data network, we construct the network structure with a spatial hierarchy decomposition scheme. The RIDN can be decomposed into several subnet classes, those of which are composed of the several group classes of radar sits, In a group class, the communication nodes of a radar site are modeled by the software modules formulated with the statistical attributes of discrete events. And we get the analysis over the network through the separately constructed infra group level models which were coded with the C language. After constructing the local area network with these infra models through the proper data links. We got the analysis of the communication performance of inner models and the global network.

  • In this paper, the design of 64 array antennas applied to RWP (Radar Wind Profiler) was described. The design point of the antenna is to ensure isolation between each element and to match the vertical / horizontal radiation pattern. To this end, a single element of the array antenna was proposed as a Bend dipole type, and through simulation, When sequentially sending 5 beams including vertical, the east/west/south/north direction was ±20°, and it was confirmed that no Grating Lobe occurred when steering the beam. The 64 array antenna proposed in this paper was designed with performance equal to or higher than that of overseas products, and was confirmed to be applicable to RWP.

  • In radar imaging, a target is usually consisted of a few strong scatterers which are sparsely distributed. In this paper, an improved sparse signal recovery algorithm based on smoothed l0 (SL0) norm method is proposed to achieve high resolution ISAR imaging with limited pulse numbers. Firstly, one new smoothed function is proposed to approximate the l0 norm to measure the sparsity. Then a single loop step is used instead of two loop layers in SL0 method which increases the searching density of variable parameter to ensure the recovery accuracy without increasing computation amount, the cost function is undated in every loop for the next loop until the termination is satisfied. Finally, the new set of solution is projected into the feasible set. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to the several popular methods both in terms of the reconstruction performance and computation time. Real data ISAR imaging obtained by the proposed algorithm is competitive to several other methods.

  • Trilateration technique using time of arrival(TOA) is generally used for single target position estimation in radar system. However, trilateration technique has limitation in case of multiple targets, since it is difficult to distinguish the measurements corresponding to the respective targets. In this study, to eliminate ambiguity of relation between measurements and targets, micromotion of each target is measured by micro Doppler which is actively studied in radar industry nowadays and these information are used to distinguish measurements used at trilateration technique. Resultingly, the trilateration technique is applied successfully for each target. The targets are considered as multiple submissiles separated from the missile. Simulation results shows the performance of the proposed algorithm.
