Trend on high-power GaN(Gallium Nitride) SSPA(Solid-State Power Amplifier) and its availability in miniature radar systems are presented. There are numerous studies on high-power GaN devices since they have some characteristics of high-breakdown voltage, high power density, and high-temperature stability. Recent scaled GaN technology makes it possible to apply it in SSPAs for W- and G-band applications, with increasing its maximum frequency. In addition, it leads to downsizing and power-efficiency improvement of SSPAs, which means that GaN SSPAs can be available in miniature radar systems. This study also shows radar performance and comparison in the case of using such SSPAs at three frequency bands of Ku, Ka, and W. Finally, we demonstrate prospects of scaled GaN SSPAs in future miniature radar systems.

해양환경정보를 필요로 하는 어떠한 분야보다도 정확하고 신속한 의사결정이 요구되는 해군작전분야에서는 실시간으로 정확한 해양환경정보를 제공받을 수 있는 효과적인 자료 수집 수단이 필요하다. 현재 국내에서 시험운영중인 단파 레이더는 연안으로부터 약 10-220km의 해역에 대해 약 0.3-12km의 해상도를 가지며 실시간으로 표층해수의 해류와 파랑을 관측할 수 있다. 단파 레이더를 이용한 표층해수 관측망이 구축되면 다양한 일반 해양 활동과 군사 해양 활동을 지원할 수 있다. 장차, 우리나라 전 연안에 설치되는 단파 레이더를 활용하여 해군작전 임무 수행능력을 향상시킬 수 있는 방안을 제시한다.

As observed in the recent war, suppression of enemy air defense operation is one of the major tactics, simultaneously conducted with high payoff target. Specifically, our air defense operation should be properly constructed, since the operating environment of our forces mostly consists with mountainous terrain, which makes detections of the enemy difficult. The effective arrangements of low altitude air defense radars can be suggested as a way of improving the detection capability of our forces. In this paper, we consider the location problem of low altitude air defense radar, and formulate it as an Integer Programming. Specifically, we surveyed the previous researches on facility location problems and applied two particularly relevant models(MCLP, MEXCLP) to our problem. The terrain factor was represented as demand points in the models. We verified the optimal radar locations for operational situations through simulation model which depicts simple battle field. In the simulation model, the performance of optimal radar locations are measured by the enemy detection rate. With a series of experiments, we may conclude that when locating low altitude air defense radars, it is important to consider the detection probability of radar. We expect that this finding may be helpful to make a more effective air defense plan.

Automotive Radar Systems are currently under development for various applications to increase accuracy and reliability. The target tracking is most important in single or multiple target environments for accuracy. The tracking algorithm provides smoothed and predicted data for target position and velocity(Doppler). To this end, the fixed gain filter(${\alpha}{\beta}$ filter, ${\alpha}{\beta}{\gamma}$ filter) and dynamic filter(Kalman filter, Singer-Kalman filter, etc) are commonly used. Gating is used to decide whether an observation is assigned to an existing track or new track. Gating algorithms are normally based on computing a statistical error distance between an observation and prediction. The data association takes the observation-to-track pairings that satisfied gating and determines which observation-to-track assignment will actually be made. For data association, NNPDA(Nearest Neighbor Probabilistic Data Association) algorithm is proposed. In this paper, we designed a target tracking system developed for an Automotive Radar System. We show the experimental results of the 77GHz FMCW radar sensor on the roads. Four tracking algorithms(${\alpha}{\beta}$ filter, ${\alpha}{\beta}{\gamma}$ filter, 2nd order Kalman filter, Singer-Kalman filter) have been compared and analyzed to evaluate the performance in test scenario.

Although radar target signatures(RTS), such as range profiles have played an important role for target recognition in the X-band radar, they would be less effective when a target is designed to have low radar cross section(RCS). Recently, a number of research groups have conducted the studies on the RTS in the VHF-band where such targets can be better detected than in the X-band. However, there is a lack of work carried out on the mathematical description of the VHF-band RTS. In this paper, chirplet decomposition is employed for modeling of the VHF-band RTS and its performance is compared with that of existing scattering center model generally used for the X-band. In addition, the discriminative signal analysis is performed by chirplet parameterization of range profiles from in an ISAR image. Because the chirplet decomposition takes long computation time, its fast form is further proposed for enhanced practicality.

본 논문은 전투기 레이다 공대공, 공대지 동시 운용 모드에서의 빔 스케줄링 방법을 다룬다. 양질의 전장 상황 인식을 위해 임무들의 우선순위와 더불어 공대공, 공대지 탐색 임무가 교차로 수행되어야 한다는 요구조건을 정립하였다. 그리고 이를 만족하기 위해 WMDD를 개선한 실시간 휴리스틱 빔 스케줄링 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 스케줄링 방법은 실제 레이다 임무 처리 메커니즘 및 측정 모델이 구현된 시뮬레이션 환경에서 비교 분석하였으며 임무 지연시간 관점에서의 성능 향상을 확인하였다.

As the application field of radar is expanded and the bandwidth increases, the number of radar sensors operating at the same frequency is continuously increasing. In this paper, we propose a method of analyzing interference when two pulse doppler radars are operated at the same frequency with different waveform which are designed independently. In addition, we show that even for a previously designed LFM waveforms, the interference can be suppressed without affecting the performance by changing the sign of the frequency slope by increasing/decreasing, or by modulating the pulses by the different codes. The interference suppression by different slopes is more effective for similar waveform and the suppression by the codes increases as the number of pulses increases. We expect this result can be extended to the cases where multiple radars are operated at the same frequency.

This paper describes a progressive test and evaluation strategy for verification of Korean Fighter eXperimental (KF-X) AESA(Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar development. Three progressive stages of development test and evaluation were officially performed from simulated test conditions to actual operating conditions according to standards: radar function/performance and avionics integration. KF-X AESA radar development is repeatedly verified by progressive stages consisting of five tests: Roof-lab ground test, System Integration Laboratory(SIL) ground test, Flying Test Bed(FTB) test, KF-X ground test, and KF-X flight test. As a result, the risk factor decreases as stages and tests progress. Therefore, development test and evaluation of KF-X AESA radar are successfully performed at low development risk.

레이더 전파고도계는 레이더 신호를 지표면으로 송신하여 반사되어 돌아오는 신호로 항공기에서 지표면까지의 거리를 측정하는 센서이다. 이러한 레이더 전파고도계의 특성 분석을 위하여 비행 시험을 통해 레이더 전파고도계와 LiDAR를 동시에 획득하여 LiDAR DSM을 레이더 전파고도계 분석을 위한 참조자료로 사용하였다. LiDAR로 획득한 지표면의 점 자료들은 격자로 보간하여 DSM을 제작하였다. 비행 시험은 2012년 6월에 수행하였으며, 레이더 전파고도계 자료에 대하여 레이더 방정식에서 거리(range) 및 RCS와 관련된 반사되는 지표면의 면적에 따른 특성 측면에서 해석하였다. 결과적으로 빔폭이 넓은 항공기용 레이더 전파고도계는 가까운 거리에 있는 최근점의 영향보다는 RCS와 관련이 있는 지표면의 면적이나 반사도에 더 많은 영향을 받고 있다는 것을 알 수 있다.
