Software defined radar (SDR) is a multi-purpose radar system where most of the hardware processing is performed by software. This paper introduces a concept and technology trends of software defined radar, and addresses the advantages and limitations of the current SDR radar systems. For the advanced SDR concept, the KAU SDR Model (KSM) is presented for the multimode and multiband radar system operating in S-, X-, and K-bands. This SDR consists of a replaceable multiband antenna and RF hardware, common digital processor module with multimode, and open software platform based on MATLAB and LabVIEW. The new concept of the SDR radar can be useful in various applications of the education, traffic monitoring and safety, security, and surveillance depending on the various radar environments.

When replacing hardware due to obsolescence, discontinuation, and expansion of software-equipped electronic equipment, software changes are required in the past, but if virtualization technology is applied, it can be applied without software changes. In this regard, we studied in order to apply virtualization technology in the development of naval multi-function radar signal processing, we studied hardware and OS independency for Docker and performance comparison between Docker and virtual machine. As a result, it was confirmed that hardware and OS independence exist when using Docker and that high-speed processing is possible compared to the virtual machine.

Through the rapid development in personal computer technology, it has recently become possible to make a radar become possible to make a radar simulator based on the PC. Althougth such a technology has already been developed in the advanced countries like Japan, U.K., and U.S.A., our country has not been able to make such a simulator so far. In addition, revised STCW convention requires the maritime training institution to be equipped with the ARPA simulator satisfying the performance standard specified in the convention. In this thesis therefore, an attempt was made to developed the software of the ARPA radar simulation system using Visual Basic 4.0, with which we can finally make a Mockup style ARPA simulator satisfying the performance standard specified in the convention. In this thesis therefore, and attempt was made to developed the software of the ARPA radar simulation system using Visual Basic 4.0, with which we can finally make a Mockup style ARPA radar simulator. The system developed through the research has been found to run successfully on the desk top personal computer(586PC). A Mockup style ARPA radar simulator will be able to be made by simply installing this software on the PC which will be placed inside a ARPA radar Mockup, and this is one of the future research subjects.

최근 무기체계에서 소프트웨어가 담당하는 기능이 많아지고, 복잡해지면서 소프트웨어의 품질의 중요성에 대해서 대두가 되고 있다. 소프트웨어의 품질요소는 기능성, 사용성, 유지보수성, 신뢰성이 있으며, 이중 최근 들어 중요시되는 항목이 신뢰성 분야이다. 신뢰성 시험은 분석을 통한 정적 시험과 수행을 통한 동적 시험방법이 있으며, 실수행을 통해 검증하는 동적시험은 정적시험에 비해 많은 기간이 필요하며 복잡성이 높아질 경우 더욱 증가되는 경향을 보인다. 본 논문에서는 다기능 레이더 소프트웨어 개발시 수행한 신뢰성시험 절차 및 결과를 기술하고 이를 통해 효과적으로 시험기간을 줄일 수 있는 신뢰성시험 방법을 제안한다.

In this paper, we developed a hardware and software platform of the real-time data logging system to verify radar FEM (Front-end Module) and signal-processing algorithms. We developed a hardware platform based on FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) and DSP (Digital Signal Processor) and implemented firmware software to verify the various FEMs. Moreover, we designed PC based software platform to control radar logging parameters and save radar data. The developed platform was verified using 24 GHz multiple channel FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) in an environment of stationary and moving targets of chamber room.

In this paper we show the hardware testbed and software simulator of multi function array radar (MFAR). The hardware MFAR is simple and flexible hardware to implement various radar beamforming and detecting algorithms. To overcome the limitation of hardware MFAR, the software simulator is proposed. User can simulate radar under the various environment conditions adjusting the parameter of simulator. User can set environment of radar, such as the location and velocity of target, jammer and the terrain clutter. The radar use various probing pulses and supports two operation mode, surveillance and tracking mode.

Accurate vessel traffic observation is indispensable to carry out vessel traffic management, design of vessel traffic route, planning of port construction, etc. In order to observe the vessel traffic accurately without many efforts such as the use of a ship or car equipped with special radar observation system and the preparation of observation staff, the authors have been developing completely automated remote radar/AIS network system covering the main traffic area in Tokyo Bay. The composite radar image observed at Yokosuka and Kawasaki radar stations with AIS information can be seen on web site of Internet. In addition to the development of radar/AIS observation system, the software to analyze observed vessel traffic flow has been developed. This software has various functions such as automatic tracking of ship's positions, automatic estimation of ship's size, automatic integration of radar image and AIS data, animation of ships' movements, extraction of dangerous ship encounters, etc. The configuration and functions of the developed remote radar/AIS network system are shown first in this paper. Then various functions of the software to analyze vessel traffic are introduced, and some analyzed results on the vessel traffic in Tokyo Bay are described demonstrating the effectiveness of the developed system.

In this paper, we design the hardware platform and implement the embedded software based on the FPGA and the DSP for the automotive 77GHz FMCW radar system. This embedded software is built into the DSP as the multi-tasking architecture to support the basic target detection algorithm and the Ethernet link. The designed GUI(Graphic User Interface) provides ability to adjust parameters associated with the radar performance, to monitor signal processing results, and to download the raw received signal. The designed platform can be used to develop the optimal detection algorithms for the various applications.
