Generally wave buoy and visual observation are used to measure sea waves. But the wave buoy cannot be applicable for the ship moving in deep sea. So the visual observation has been used for it. But it has several defects and limitation related to environmental condition and observer. To overcome this problem, various wave measurement systems have been suggested. Recently, the wave measurement systems using nautical X-band radar have been developed and extended its application area. In this report, we introduce the wave measurement system, WaveFinder, developed by authors. The system was calibrated and verified with the measurement results of wave buoy. The system was adopted to measure wave condition during sea trials. The system will be a device to support safe navigation in ship's voyage.

The design theory and experimental results of a true random noise radar system are presented in this paper. Target range information can be extracted precisely by correlation processing between the delayed reference and the signal received from a target, and the velocity information by the Doppler processing with successive correlation data. A K-band noise radar system was designed using random FM noise signal, and the characteristics of the fabricated system were examined with laboratory and outdoor experiments. A C-band random FM noise signal was generated by applying a low-frequency white Gaussian noise source to VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator), and a K-band Tx noise signal with 100 MHz bandwidth was obtained by using a following frequency multiplier. Two modified wave-guide horn arrays were designed and fabricated, and used for the Tx and Rx antennas. The required amount of Tx/Rx isolation was attained by using a coupling cancellation circuit as well as keeping them apart with predetermined spacing. A double down-conversion scheme was used in the Rx and reference channels, respectively, for easy post processing such as correlation and Doppler processing. The implemented noise radar performance was examined with a moving bicycle and a very high-speed target with a velocity of 150 m/s. The results extracted by the Matlab simulation using the logging data were found to be in a reasonable agreement with the expected results.

본 논문에서는 도파관 하이브리드 커플러를 이용한 X-대역 모노펄스 레이더용 이미지 제거 SSB 변조기 설계에 대해 연구하였다. 일반적으로 SSB 변조기는 입력되는 IF(RF)신호와 LO 신호를 혼합하여 특정한 RF(IF) 주파수 대역으로 변환한다. 이 경우 SSB 변조기는 RF 대역에서 한쪽 측파대를 전송하기 위해, 이미지 신호와 LO 신호의 제거가 요구된다. LO 신호와 IF 신호를 혼합하기 위해, 도파관 하이브리드 커플러와 크리스탈 믹서 다이오드를 이용하여 평형믹서를 설계하였으며, 두 크리스탈 믹서 다이오드 입력에 적합한 $90^{\circ}$ 위상차를 갖는 IF(+)와 IF(-)신호 생성을 위한 IF 증폭기를 설계하였다. 설계된 각각의 도파관과 IF 증폭기 케이스는 고주파수 대역에서 높은 전기적 신뢰성을 유지하기 위해 딥 브레이징 기술을 이용하여 알루미늄으로 제작하였으며 제작된 SSB 변조기 측정결과 LO 신호와 측파대 신호 제거비는 각각 14.2dB와 18.5dB의 양호한 결과를 얻었다.

In 1996, Thailand's participation in the Pacific Rim as a part of NASA's Mission to Planet Earth (MTPE) Program, was titled 'AIRSAR Thailand Project'. In this project the Department of Land Development utilized Topographic SAR (TOPSAR) which had multi-frequencies: C band, L band, and P band with multi-polarization: HH, VV, and HV as well as C band VV DEM. Satellite data such as LANDSAT TM was also utilized for optimal use. Results of AIRSAR image processing including data fusion among difference wavelength bands and polarization revealed the quality of AIRSAR that best suit for detection of agricultural land uses. The HH-L band AIRSAR was proven to be useful to distinguish among crop types when combined with appropriate data. The HH, VV, and HV-P band enhanced surface characteristics of swamp forest and wetland. In addition, TOPSAR has its great advantage for identification of salt farms and shrimp ponds.

The ability to characterize feature objects from radar readings is often limited by simply looking at their still frame reflectivity, differential reflectivity and differential phase data. In many cases, time-series study of these objects' reflectivity profile is required to properly characterize features objects of interest. This paper introduces a novel technique to automatically track multiple 3D radar structures in C,S-band in real-time using Doppler radar and profile their characteristic reflectivity distribution in time series. The extraction of reflectivity profile from different radar cluster structures is done in three stages: 1. static frame (zone-linkage) clustering, 2. dynamic frame (evolution-linkage) clustering and 3. characterization of clusters through time series profile of reflectivity distribution. The two clustering schemes proposed here are applied on composite multi-layers CAPPI (Constant Altitude Plan Position Indicator) radar data which covers altitude range of 0.25 to 10 km and an area spanning over hundreds of thousands $km^2$. Discrete numerical simulations show the validity of the proposed technique and that fast and accurate profiling of time series reflectivity distribution for deformable 3D radar structures is achievable.

Recently, As the frequency of localized heavy rains increases, the use of high-resolution radar data is increasing. The produced radar rainfall has still gaps of spatial and temporal compared to gauge observation rainfall, and in many studies, various statistical techniques are performed for correct rainfall. In this study, the precipitation correction of the S-band Dual Polarization radar in use in the flood forecast was performed using the ConvAE algorithm, one of the Convolutional Neural Network. The ConvAE model was trained based on radar data sets having a 10-min temporal resolution: radar rainfall data, gauge rainfall data for 790minutes(July 2017 in Cheongju flood event). As a result of the validation of corrected radar rainfall were reduced gaps compared to gauge rainfall and the spatial correction was also performed. Therefore, it is judged that the corrected radar rainfall using ConvAE will increase the reliability of the gridded rainfall data used in various physically-based distributed hydrodynamic models.

Broad-band RAM's (Radar absorbing materials) are designed by multi-layered lossy dielectrics. The depth, the relative permittivity and the loss tangent of each layer are optimized in order to meet the required reflective power over the specified frequency range using a genetic algorithm. The reflection coefficients are calculated by the continued fraction method. A new population model of the partial initialization method during iterations is applied for the multi-modal functions to enhance the performance of the genetic algorithm. The optimal RAN's are designed by setting the relative permittivity and the loss tangent of the dielectrics as a funtion of the frequency over 5~20GHz.

본 연구는 최적 결합 방법을 이용하여 다른 시공간 특징을 가진 강수량 자료를 통합하는 것이다. 최적 결합 방법은 AWS 우량계 자료와 S-band RADAR 추정 강수량을 전 시간대의 자신의 평균 제곱 오차에 반비례 하도록 디자인 하였다. 훈련시간에 따른 적절한 최적 가중치를 결정하기 위하여, 훈련시간을 1-10시간까지 실험하기 위하여 긴 기간 동안 비가 지속되었던 장마 사례에 적용하였다. 최적 결합 강수량의 수평장은 훈련시간 2시간 이후부터는 평탄화된 구조를 보여주었고, 최적 결합 강수량은 참값으로 가정한 종관관측 강수량과 수평 구조 및 값의 크기가 잘 일치하였다. 이러한 결과는 최적결합 방법이 다양한 자료들을 이용하여 고해상도의 강수량을 생산하는 데 사용할 수 있다는 것을 제시한다.

Convective/stratiform radar echo classification schemes by Steiner et al. (1995) and Biggerstaff and Listemaa (2000) are examined on a monsoonal front during the summer monsoon-Changma period, which is organized as a cloud cluster with mesoscale convective complex. Target radar is S-band with wavelength of 10cm, spatial resolution of 1km, elevation angle interval of 0.5-1.0 degree, and minimum elevation angle of 0.19 degree at Jindo over the Korean Peninsula. For verification of rainfall amount retrieved from the echo classification, ground-based rain gauge observations (Automatic Weather Stations) are examined, converting the radar echo grid data to the station values using the inverse distance weighted method. Improvement from the echo classification is evaluated based on the correlation coefficient and the scattered diagram. Additionally, an optimal use method was designed to produce combined rainfalls from the radar echo and Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission Precipitation Radar (TRMM/PR) data. Optimal values for the radar rain and TRMM/PR rain are inversely weighted according to the error variance statistics for each single station. It is noted how the rainfall distribution during the summer monsoon frontal system is improved from the classification of convective/stratiform echo and the use of the optimal use technique.
