본 논문에서는 S-Band PSR(Primary surveillance radar) 레이더들이 가까운 거리에 인접하여 운영하는 경우에 상호 간의 주파수 간섭을 최소화함으로서 정상적으로 운영하기 위한 방안을 연구하였다. PSR 레이더 간의 전파 간섭이 발생되었을 때의 레이더 수신기에서 나타나는 현상을 분석하고, 이에 대한 대응으로 적절한 S-Band 대역통과필터를 선정하여 활용하였다. 필터 적용 전후의 레이더 RF 수신 특성을 비교 분석하여, 대역 통과 필터의 간섭전파의 억제 성능을 확인하였다. 레이더 수신기에 대역통과 필터 추가 설치 시 6.4~7.7 dB의 통과대역 감쇠가 발생하는데 이로 인한 레이더 탐지 성능 저하가 발생하는지 여부는 PSR 탐지율을 비교 분석함으로서 본 연구의 유용성을 검증하였다.

컴퓨터 시뮬레이션을 통해서 레이더 타겟들에 대한 레이더 유효면적(RCS)을 측정하고, 그들의 성능특성을 분석하였다. 또한, 상용레이더 리프렉터의 구조적 특징을 검토하였다. 그리고, 수동형 레이더 리프렉터의 최적 설계조건을 선택했다. 연구결과, X-band($\lambda$=3.2cm에서 10λ 크기의 원형 평판으로 구성된 옥타헤데랄 형태의 레이더 리프렉터가 최적 성능을 나타냈다. 그러나, 새로 적용될 2000 SOLAS 규정을 수용하기 위해서는 X-band 와 S-band 모두에 적용하기 위해서 더 큰 크기의 원형평판이 필요하다.

In order to respond to environmental changes and various events in the nearby sea area due to the operation of an offshore wind substantiation farm in the Southwest Sea, X-band radar has been installed and operated on a fixed platform since 2018. The X-band radar's monitoring system produces wave and current data through Rutter's Ocean WaveS wave and current (Sigma S6 WaMoS II). In this study, to verify the reliability of the produced data, the accuracy of current and wave data was evaluated by analyzing the correlation with the results obtained by an acoustic doppler current profiler (ADCP). The selected analysis period was a total of 30 days from November 29 to December 28, 2021, the period during which the ADCP survey was conducted. As a result of comparative verification, the current, wave height and peak wave period (H_s > 0.69 m) data observed from the X-band radar showed a high correlation with the results investigated from ADCP. In the future, current and wave data produced by X-band radar are expected to be used as basic data to analyze environmental changes in sea areas and provide information on various events.

The radar observation system in Japan is operated by two governmental groups: Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism (MLIT) of Japan. The JMA radar observation network is comprised of 20 C-band radars (with a wavelength of 5.6 cm), which cover most of the Japan Islands and observe rainfall intensity and distribution. And the MLIT's radar observation system is composed of 26 C-band radars throughout Japan. The observed radar echo from each radar unit is first modified, and then sent to the National Bureau of Synthesis Process within the MLIT. Through several steps for homogenizing observation accuracy, including distance and elevation correction, synthesized rainfall intensity maps for the entire nation of Japan are generated every 5 minutes. The MLIT has recently launched a new radar observation network system designed for flash flood observation and forecasting in small river basins within urban areas. It is called the X-band multi parameter radar network, and is distinguished by its dual polarimetric wave pulses of short length (3cm). Attenuation problems resulting from the short wave length of radar echo are strengthened by polarimetric wavelengths and very dense radar networks. Currently, the network is established within four areas. Each area is observed using 3-4 X-band radars with very fine resolution in spatial (250 m) and temporal (1 minute intervals). This study provides a series of utilization procedures for the new input data into a real-time forecasting system. First of all, the accuracy of the X-band radar observation was determined by comparing its results with the rainfall intensities as observed by ground gauge stations. It was also compared with conventional C-band radar observation. The rainfall information from the new radar network was then provided to a distributed hydrologic model to simulate river discharges. The simulated river discharges were evaluated again using the observed river discharge to estimate the applicability of the new observation network in the context of operations regarding flood forecasting. It was able to determine that the newly equipped X-band polarimetric radar network shows somewhat improved observation accuracy compared to conventional C-band radar observation. However, it has a tendency to underestimate the rainfall, and the accuracy is not always superior to that of the C-band radar. The accuracy evaluation of the X-band radar observation in this study was conducted using only limited rainfall events, and more cases should be examined for developing a broader understanding of the general behavior of the X-band radar and for improving observation accuracy.

The limits of S-band dual-polarization radars in Korea are not reflected on the recent weather forecasts of Korea Meteorological Administration and furthermore, they are only utilized for rainfall estimations and hydrometeor classification researches. Therefore, this study applied four merging methods [SA (Simple Average), WA (Weighted Average), SSE (Sum of Squared Error), TV (Time-varying mergence)] to the QPE (Quantitative Precipitation Estimation) model [called RAR (Radar-AWS Rainfall) calculation system] using single-polarization radars and S-band dual-polarization radar in order to improve the accuracy of the rainfall estimation of the RAR calculation system. As a result, the merging results of the WA and SSE methods, which are assigned different weights due to the accuracy of the individual model, performed better than the popular merging method, the SA (Simple Average) method. In particular, the results of TVWA (Time-Varying WA) and TVSSE (Time-Varying SSE), which were weighted differently due to the time-varying model error and standard deviation, were superior to the WA and SSE. Among of all the merging methods, the accuracy of the TVWA merging results showed the best performance. Therefore, merging the rainfalls from the RAR calculation system and S-band dual-polarization radar using the merging method proposed by this study enables to improve the accuracy of the quantitative rainfall estimation of the RAR calculation system. Moreover, this study is worthy of the fundamental research on the active utilization of dual-polarization radar for weather forecasts.

A dual-band through-the-wall imaging radar receiver for a frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar system was designed and fabricated. The operating frequency bands of the receiver are S-band (2-4 GHz) and X-band (8-12 GHz). If the target is behind a wall, wall-reflected waves are rejected by a reconfigurable $G_m-C$ high-pass filter. The filter is designed using a high-order admittance synthesis method, and consists of transconductor circuits and capacitors. The cutoff frequency of the filter can be tuned by changing the reference current. The receiver system is fabricated on a printed circuit board using commercial devices. Measurements show 44.3 dB gain and 3.7 dB noise figure for the S-band input, and 58 dB gain and 3.02 dB noise figure for the X-band input. The cutoff frequency of the filter can be tuned from 0.7 MHz to 2.4 MHz.

A dual-band dual-polarized microstrip antenna array for an advanced multi-function radio function concept (AMRFC) radar application operating at S and X-bands is proposed. Two stacked planar arrays with three different thin substrates (RT/Duroid 5880 substrates with $\varepsilon_r$=2.2 and three different thicknesses of 0.253 mm, 0.508 mm and 0.762 mm) are integrated to provide simultaneous operation at S band (3~3.3 GHz) and X band (9~11 GHz). To allow similar scan ranges for both bands, the S-band elements are selected as perforated patches to enable the placement of the X-band elements within them. Square patches are used as the radiating elements for the X-band. Good agreement exists between the simulated and the measured results. The measured impedance bandwidth (VSWR$\leq$2) of the prototype array reaches 9.5 % and 25 % for the S- and X-bands, respectively. The measured isolation between the two orthogonal polarizations for both bands is better than 15 dB. The measured cross-polarization level is ${\leq}-21$ dB for the S-band and ${\leq}-20$ dB for the X-band.

본 연구는 S대역 또는 X대역 레이다 보다 빔폭이 상대적으로 큰 저주파 대역을 사용하는 초단파 레이다의 SLB/BLB 설계 및 구현에 대한 연구이다. 초단파 대역의 안테나는 빔폭이 상대적으로 크기 때문에 부엽에서 반사된 표적 신호를 처리하지 않으면 주엽 신호에서 들어온 것으로 인식하여 레이다의 탐지 오경보율이 증가한다. 부엽 차단 방법은 배열 안테나의 중앙쪽 복사소자를 사용하여 배열안테나 전면부의 부엽 신호를 차단하고, 뒤쪽에서 들어오는 신호는 BLB 수신안테나 조립체를 통해 차단시킨다. 레이다 구현을 완료하여 모의 신호 발생장치를 활용한 시스템 단위의 부엽 신호 차단에 대한 시험을 통하여 SLB/BLB 신호가 제거되는 것을 시험을 통하여 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 향후 안테나 크기 및 빔폭이 큰 저주파 대역 레이다용 배열안테나의 부엽 차단 기술 구현에 활용할 예정이다.
