The on-board processor of satellite synthetic aperture radar(SAR) generates transmission signal by digital signal processing, converts it into an analog signal. At this time, the transmission signal generated from the baseband requires the frequency modulation to convert it to the high-frequency band in order to improve the stability. General frequency modulation method using local oscillator(LO) causes IQ imbalance due to phase error/magnitude error and these error reduce performance of SAR. To generate transmission signal without phase/magnitude error, this paper suggests design method of the frequency modulation method using digital to analog converter(DAC) at on-board SAR. For design, this paper analyzes the characteristic of DAC mode and uses pre-compensation filter. To analyze the proposed method performance, performance index are compared with IQ imbalance signals. This method is suitable for on-board SAR using fast sampling DAC and has the advantage of being able to solve IQ imbalances.

The synthetic aperture radar(SAR) is an equipment that can acquire images in all weathers day and night based on radar signals. The on-board processor of satellite SAR generates transmission signal by digital signal processing, converts it into an analog signal and transmits to antenna. Until the transmission signal generated by on-board processor is output, the signal passes the transmission cables and analog devices. At this time, these hardware distort the signal and makes SAR performance worse. To improve the performance, pre-distortion technique is used. But, general pre-distortion using taylor series is not sufficient to compensate for the distortion. This paper suggests transmit signal design method with improved pre-distortion. This paper uses envelop sampling method and interpolation filter for frequency domain compensation. The proposed method accurately compensates the hardware distortion and reduces resource usage of FPGA. To analyze proposed method's performance, IRF characteristics are compared when the proposed method applies to signal with errors.

TRMM/PR (Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission/Precipitation Radar)과 기상청의 C-band 도플러 레이더(제주, 군산, 부산)의 비교는 지상 레이더의 검증을 위해서 이루어졌다. 검증에 사용된 사례는 2000년 하계에 TRMM이 한반도 남부, 약 $36^{\circ}N$ 이남을 지나갈 때 강한 강수가 있는 날을 선택하였다. 서로 view angle, bandwidths와 주파수가 다른 두 개의 레이더를 정량적으로 비교하는 것은 어려운 문제이다. 본 연구에서는 이를 해결하기 위해서 지상 레이더와 TRMM/PR을 동일한 격자로 만들어 동일 영역에서 비교하였다. 지상 레이더로부터 관측된 반사도는 PR에 의해 관측된 반사도에 비해 4-9dBZ정도 낮은 것으로 밝혀졌으며 이는 기계적인 성능이나 지형과 같은 많은 이유에 의해서 발생할 수 있다. 세 개의 지상 레이더 사이트 모두에서 TRMM과 비교하여 30dBZ 이상에서 RMSE가 가장 높게 나타나서 강한 에코를 지상레이더가 잘 관측하지 못하는 것을 알 수 있었다.

대공표적을 탐지/추적하기 위해 운용되는 레이다는 임무 특성에 따라 표적의 탐지를 목적으로 안테나 구동장치가 회전하며 운용되는 탐색레이다와 표적의 예측 위치에 주기적으로 빔을 조향하여 추적하는 추적레이다로 구분한다. 일반적으로 추적레이다는 탐색레이다에 비해 표적 정보 획득 주기가 짧은 특징이 있는데 이러한 특징으로 인하여 추적 정확도는 탐색레이다에 비해 좋지만 짧은 획득 주기로 인한 추적 초기 속도 오차로 인해 표적 예측 오차가 커짐에 따라 항적 연관에 실패하거나 빔 조향을 정상적으로 수행하지 못하여 추적 초반에 표적 추적이 실패하는 경우가 많이 발생하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 위에서 기술한 추적레이다의 추적 초반 문제점들을 해결하기 위해 기존 표적 추적을 위해 활용했던 측정치의 위치 정보(거리, 방위각, 고각) 외에 표적 시선속도 측정값을 활용한 초기 표적 정보 정확도 향상 알고리즘을 제안하고 기존에 추적 초기화 시 많이 사용하는 알고리즘인 Two Point Differential 알고리즘과 성능 비교를 통해 제안하는 알고리즘의 성능을 확인하였다.

In modern electronic warfare, a number of radar emitters are in operation, causing radar receivers to receive high-density signal pulses that occur simultaneously. To analyze the radar signals more accurately and identify enemies, the sorting process of high-density radar signals is very important before analysis. Recently, machine learning algorithms, specifically K-means clustering, are the subject of research aimed at improving the accuracy of radar signal sorting. One of the challenges faced by these studies is that the clustering results can vary depending on how the initial points are selected and how many clusters number are set. This paper introduces a repeated K-means clustering algorithm that aims to accurately cluster all data by identifying and addressing false clusters in the radar sorting problem. To verify the performance of the proposed algorithm, experiments are conducted by applying it to simulated signals that are generated by a signal generator.

Although the Radar-AWS Rainrate (RAR) calculation system operated by Korea Meteorological Administration estimated precipitation using 2-dimensional composite components of single polarization radars, this system has several limitations in estimating the precipitation accurately. To to overcome limitations of the RAR system, the Korea Meteorological Administration developed and operated the RMQ (Radar-based Multi-sensor Quantitative Precipitation Estimation) system, the improved version of NMQ (National Mosaic and Multi-sensor Quantitative Precipitation Estimation) system of NSSL (National Severe Storms Laboratory) for the Korean Peninsula. This study introduced the RMQ system domestically for the first time and verified the precipitation estimation performance of the RMQ system. The RMQ system consists of 4 main parts as the process of handling the single radar data, merging 3D reflectivity, QPE, and displaying result images. The first process (handling of the single radar data) has the pre-process of a radar data (transformation of data format and quality control), the production of a vertical profile of reflectivity and the correction of bright-band, and the conduction of hydrid scan reflectivity. The next process (merger of 3D reflectivity) produces the 3D composite reflectivity field after correcting the quality controlled single radar reflectivity. The QPE process classifies the precipitation types using multi-sensor information and estimates quantitative precipitation using several Z-R relationships which are proper for precipitation types. This process also corrects the precipitation using the AWS position with local gauge correction technique. The last process displays the final results transformed into images in the web-site. This study also estimated the accuracy of the RMQ system with five events in 2012 summer season and compared the results of the RAR (Radar-AWS Rainrate) and RMQ systems. The RMQ system ($2.36mm\;hr^{-1}$ in RMSE on average) is superior to the RAR system ($8.33mm\;hr^{-1}$ in RMSE) and improved by 73.25% in RMSE and 25.56% in correlation coefficient on average. The precipitation composite field images produced by the RMQ system are almost identical to the AWS (Automatic Weather Statioin) images. Therefore, the RMQ system has contributed to improve the accuracy of precipitation estimation using weather radars and operation of the RMQ system in the work field in future enables to cope with the extreme weather conditions actively.

Due to the data processing development by the computer, the early warning system recently has made a remarkable evolution in its functions and performance as a component of the communication and control system which is also supported by the computer communication and intelligence system. In this paper it is presented that a integrated data processing system is designed to integrate the information sent from the various radar systems which constitute an early warning system. The suggested system model of this paper is devided into two types of structures, the centralized model and the distributed model, according to the data processing algorithm. We apply the queueing theory to analyse the performance of the designed models and the OPNET system kernel to make the analysing program with C language. From the analysis of the queueing components by applying the analysis programs to the designed systems, we got the tendancies and characteristics of both models, that is, a fast data processing performance of the distributed model and a stable data processing capability of the centralized model.

This paper describes target detection performance of millimeter wave radar that exits on non-stationary target detection schemes in the ground clutter conditions. The comparison of various CFAR process schemes such as CA(Cell-Average)-CFAR, GO(Greatest Of)/SO(Smallest Of)-CFAR, and OS(Order Statistics)-CFAR performance are applied. Using matlab software, we show the performance and loss between target detection probability and signal to noise ratio. This paper concludes the OS-CFAR process performance is better than any others and satisfies the optimal detection probability without loss of detection in the homogeneous clutter, When range bins increase.

Sudden infant death syndrome(SIDS) continues to be general cause of infant death. Also, apnea is supposed to be one of the main risk factor of SIDS. Therefore, Infant's respiratory monitoring and real-time apnea detection is very important to prevent SIDS. In this study, we proposed a non-contact home monitoring system for infant's respiration using Doppler radar in order to prevent SIDS. The respiration data were acquired from a commercialized baby simulator(Simbaby$^{TM}$) using a Doppler radar. To evaluate a performance of the proposed system, the simulator was placed in a supine and prone position and the chest belt was used simultaneously as a reference signal. As a result, correlation coefficients between respiration rates of Doppler radar and the chest belt in each position were 0.95(p < 0.001) and 0.98(p < 0.001), respectively. The averages of difference were $-0.29{\pm}5.21(mean{\pm}1.96{\cdot}$ standard deviation) in supine and $-0.12{\pm}3.05$ in prone from Bland-Altman analysis. The results indicated an excellent performance in detecting apnea with a sensitivity of 100% and a positive predictive value of 100% in each posture respectively. These results demonstrated that a proposed Doppler radar system is suitable for non-contact respiratory monitoring in order to prevent SIDS of infant.

본 논문에서는 컨포멀 어레이(Conformal Array) 빔 합성 기법에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 일반적인 선형 배열에서의 빔 조향에 따른 성능 열화 없이 빔 조향을 수행할 수 있는 컨포멀 어레이는 다양한 레이다 시스템에 적용되고 있다. 평면형 선형 배열에서의 빔 합성 기법과 달리 컨포멀 배열은 곡면상에 복사소자가 위치하므로 복사소자별로 파면(Wave Front)까지의 위상을 보상해 주어야 한다. 또한 복사소자별 옵셋 각도(Offset Angle)를 계산하여 실제 q빔 합성 시 적용함으로서 정확한 빔 패턴을 예측할 수 있었다. 본 논문에서는 위상 보상 및 옵셋 각도를 계산하여 빔 패턴 합성 시 적용한 후 빔 패턴 비교를 수행하였으며, 수학적인 분석을 통해 성능을 비교하였다.
