The Ultra-Wide Band sensor is widely used as a wireless indoor localization technology with frequency bands in the GHz range. Meanwhile, in museums, not only the real-time location of visitors but also information on visit route and duration time is required for patrons' behavior analysis. In this paper, the analysis system based Ultra-Wide Band radar for visitor's viewing behavior is introduced and experimented in the real environment. We built the system in National Museum of Korea, and its 22 Ultra-Wide Band radar sensors receive the real-time location of their visitors: this analyzes the visit route and visit time for patrons.

Radar measurement with high temporal and spatial resolutions can be a valuable source of data, especially in the areas where rain gauge installment is not practical. However, this kind of data brings with it many errors. The objective of this paper is to propose a method to evaluate statistically the quantitative and qualitative accuracy at different radar ranges, temporal intervals and raingage densities and use a bias adjustment technique to improve the quality of radar rainfall for the purpose of hydrological application. The method is tested with the data of 2 storm events collected at Jindo (S band) and Kwanak (C band) radar stations. The obtained results show that the accuracy of radar rainfall estimation increases when time interval rises. Radar data at the shorter range seems to be more accurate than the further one, especially for C-band radar. Using the Monte Carlo simulation experiment, we find out that the sampling error of the bias between radar and gauge rainfall reduces nonlinearly with increasing raingage density. The accuracy can be improved considerably if the real-time bias adjustment is applied, making adjusted radar rainfall to be adequately good to apply for hydrological application.

HY-2, the China's satellite for oceanic dynamic environment measurement, is planed to be launched around 2010. The main payloads of HY-2 include a dual-frequency radar altimeter equipped with a three-band nadir-looking radiometer for atmospheric delay correction, a Ku-band radar scatterometer, and a five-band scanning radiometer. This presentation outlines the specifications, parameters, and design of the HY-2 radar altimeter and scatterometer.

The formation and development conditions of the cloud streets over the yellow sea by the Cold Surge of Siberian Anticyclone Expansion which produce the heavy snowfall events over the southwestern coast, Honam District of the Korean peninsula, has been investigated through analyses of the three dimensional snow cloud structures by using the CAPPI, RHI, VAD and VVP data of X-band Radar at Muan Weather Observatory and S-band Radar at Jindo Weather Station. The data to be used are obtained from January 04, 2003, when heavy snow storm hits on Gwangju and Honam District. The PPI Radar images show that the cloud bands distribute in perpendicular to the expansion direction of the high pressure and that the radius of cloud cells is about 5~8 km with 20~30 dBz and distance between each cell is about 10 km. And but the vertical Radar images show that the cloud street is a small scale convective type cloud within height of about 3 km where a stable layer exists. From the VVP images, the time period of the high pressure expansion, the moving direction and development stages of the system are delineated. Finally, the vertical distribution of wind direction is fairly constants, while the wind speed sheer increases with altitude to 3 km.

A Doppler radar is a radar using the doppler effect of the returned echoes from targets to measure their radial velocity. To be more specific the microwave signal sent by the radar antenna's directional beam is reflected toward the radar and compared in frequency, up or down from the original signal, allowing for the direct and highly accurate measurement of target velocity component in the direction of the beam. In this paper, we designed the doppler radar composed of 10.5 GHz band DROs(Dielectric Resonator Oscillator), $90^{\circ}C$ branch line coupler, single balanced mixer and $4{\times}4$ array antenna of high gain, high directivity, for non-contact type hydrometer. Fabricated Doppler radar can detect slow moving objects.

The interference among the rain radars and interference in the adjacent wireless station due to the spurious signals from the rain radar were analyzed in this paper. The rain radar measures the rain intensity using S-band signal. The measured data are utilized in forecasting the rainfall. The interference among the rain radars or in the adjacent wireless stations may be caused by the high output power of rain radar. Based on the propagation analysis of S band signal and the deduced interference protection ratio of rain radar, the interference due to the rain radar are analyzed. Also, the radiation spectrum characteristics of a rain radar are deduced from the caused interference effects by the spurious signals of the rain radar.

S-band, C-band and X-band radars are used for weather observation purposes. Since the Meteorological Administration, the Ministry of Environment, and Republic of Korea Air Force operate radars according to the purpose of observation by departments, the installation site and observation characteristics are different. From a meteorological point of view, blind observational areas in the low level with an elevation of less than 1 km around the mountainous terrain near Jirisan and Taebaeksan. Assuming a small radar installation, we simulated low-level observations. In order to monitor dangerous weather in North Korea, we analyzed the precipitation of North Korea and simulated a large radar network. Finally, a radar network for Korean Peninsula was proposed.

Ultra Wideband (UWB) Radar is a high-resolution radar for short distance detection which uses signals transmitted and received by each antennas in order to detect a target. It is possible to detect the respiration and heartbeat of a person without contact It is getting more and more often utilized since it is not affected by physical environment. In this paper, we implement an algorithm to detect human respiration and heartbeat rate using UWB radar signal. We process radar signals reflected from human body using Median filter, Kalman filter, Band Pass filter and so on. We also use CZT to extract breathing and heart rate. ECG (Electrocardiogram) was used for comparison of heartbeat data and we confirm that each data of ECG and UWB Radar were more than 98% identical each other.

Super-refraction of radar beams tends to occur primarily under a particular vertical structure of temperature and water vapor pressure profiles. A quality control process for the removal of anomalous propagation (AP) ehcoes are required because APs are easily misidentified as precipitation echoes. For this purpose, we collected X-band polarimetric radar parameters (differential reflectivity, cross-correlation coefficient, and differential phase) only including non-precipitation echoes (super-refraction and clear-sky ground echoes) and precipitation echoes, and compared the echo types regarding the relationships among radar reflectivities, polarimetric parameters, and the membership functions. We developed a removal algorithm for the non-precipitation echoes using the texture approach for the polarimetric parameters. The presented algorithm is qualitatively validated using the S-band Jindo radar in Jeollanam-do. Our algorithm shows the successful identification and removal of AP echoes.

In this study, in order to test the performance of the aircraft system, a threat signal simulator that can transmit a signal similar to the actual threat to the aircraft under test with high power was designed. The high-power threat signal simulator should be able to transmit broadband (UHF band, L band, S band, X band) communication signals and radar signals, and control to transmit signals accurately directed to the aircraft through interfacing tracking radar. The signal strength of the developed equipment is 63 dBm to 93 dBm or more depending on type of signal, and the tracking precision is less than 0.1 degree, which satisfies the required performance. And it was confirmed that the antenna of the high-power threat signal simulator can accurately direct the signal to the aircraft position through the tracking radar interfacing.
