Simulated target generators are used to evaluate the various radar performance. Using the radar parameters such as target range(time delay), doppler frequency, target RCS, simulated target generator can be developed. Especially moving targets are simulated by control time delay and update target signal intensive for target range. Base on this concepts, in this paper, simulated target generators are designed and developed for X-band Radar performance test. Developed equipment is evaluated its performance and then tested with X-band Radar. This paper presents these design, development, and test results of developed target generator.

A small millimeter-wave tracking radar is a pulse radar that searches, detects, and tracks a target in real time through a TWS (Track While Scan) method on a sea-going traps target with a large RCS running at low speed. This paper describes the development of a simulated signal generator to verify the performance of a small millimeter wave tracking radar in laboratory anechoic chamber environment. We describe a GUI program for testing and performance analysis in conjunction with hardware configuration and tracking radar, and verified the simulated signal generator implemented through performance test.

Radar performance test is one of the major steps for radar system design. However, it is restricted by time and cost when radar performance tests are performed with opportunity targets. So various simulated target generators are developed and used to evaluate radar performance. To simulate the target's range, most of simulated target generators are developed with optical line or DRFM(Digital RF Memory) technique but there are many restrictions such as limit of range imitation and test scenario because of their original usage. In this paper, DDL(Digital Delay Line) module for development of simulated target generator is designed with precise range simulation and easily embodiment feature. And pulse recognition and delay gap detection technique are used to simulate the time delay without distortions. Developed DDL module performances are verified through their performance tests and test results are described in this paper.

In this paper, the target simulator for RF signals was developed by using VST(Vector Signal Transceiver) and set by real-time signal processing SW programs. A function to process RF signals using FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) board was designed. The system functions capable of data processing, raw signals monitoring, target signals(simulated range, velocity) generating and RF environments data analyzing were implemented. And the characteristics of modulated signal were analyzed in RF environment. All function of programs for processing RF signal have options to store signal data and to manage the data. The validity of the signal simulation was confirmed through verification of simulated signal results.

This study describes the design and implementation of a simulated signal generator to demonstrate the performance of VHF band radar for the detection of small targets in RCS(Radar Cross Section). The transmission and reception antenna beam widths used in the simulated signal generating apparatus may be large, which may cause problems in the degree of isolation. Interference signal immunity and isolation characteristics are improved by considering operating conditions of VHF radar to solve isolation of antennas. Simulated signal generator performs the following: VHF radar transmission and reception correction, simulation signal generation, target Doppler, RCS and distance simulation, remote control, and GPS clock synchronization function. After the fabrication of the simulated signal generator, the main characteristics, such as the output characteristics and the reflection signal simulations, were tested. When the microwave radar assembly is completed in the future, it will be utilized for the performance evaluation of VHF radar.

A Stereo matching has been an important tool for reconstructing three dimensional terrain. In this stereo matching process, DEM(Digitai Elevation Map) can be generated by the disparity from reference image to target image. Generally disparity map in matching process can be implemented by wraping from reference image to target image and if the role of reference and target is interchanged, the different DEM can be obtained. To evaluate the generated DEM from matching process, We adapted the Photorealistic synthetic image generator using ray tracing technique. The generator produce two simulated image from previous DEM and Ortho-image which is regard as Ground-truth. In this paper, we are concern about estimating more accurate DEM from these two DEMs. The several fusion methods of two DEMs are proposed to generate accurate DEM and compared with previous method. one of fusion methods is by using Cross-Correlation match score and the true DEM should have a high matching score.

This paper describes some major schemes for developing timing signal generator which can be used for testing of 3D radars. The developed generator has a function not only to simulate information on elevation angle for the simulated target signals but also to generate a modulated signal up to 80MHz. Because this generator has an internal modulating function instead of an external modulating function and has sufficient memory enough to change the parameters according to operating programs, it realization of various test-environments for testing a radar can be made with easy and with low expense.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the affect of various turbulence properties on aerodynamic characteristics of twin box bridge section. To achieve this goal, active turbulence generator which successfully simulated various target turbulences was developed in the wind tunnel. From the wind tunnel tests, turbulence integral length scale did not affect on the aerodynamic forces and flutter derivatives except for the $A_1^*$ curve. Turbulence intensity gave slight effect on the unsteady aerodynamic force, but turbulence integral length scale did not affect the self-excited forces except vertical direction component.

Digital Radio Frequency Memory, ( as DRFM ), is a device with the ability to restore output to the input RF signal in the required time after storing the incoming RF signals. Therefore DRFM is widely used in Jammer, EW Simulator, Target Echo Generator, and so on. This paper proposes its hardware implementation composed with the high frequency part and the digital processing part consisting of RF input/output module and local oscillator module. It is also proposed the replicated signal generation method which is consisted of the Analog-Digital conversion in the form of pulsed RF signal quantization, and FPGA to save and produce the playback signal, and RF signals to produce a Digital-Analog Conversion in the digital processing unit. This proposed scheme applied to test board and confirmed the validity of the proposed scheme through the test results obtained by the simulated input signals.
