The vehicle-mounted radar system (VMRS) including its electronic parts must be designed so that its performance is maintained under varying environmental conditions. The important aspects are typically weight and safety. Since many rotating VMRSs have been developed, discussion about the vibration and shock requirements for the transportation conditions has occurred: in addition, the dynamic unpaved, paved, and off-road effects have been emphasized with respect to lightweight designs. A lightweight-design VMRS should be capable of operating stably under the wind condition with the support of the vehicle structure. In this paper, a structural analysis regarding the support of the VMRS is performed, whereby the real-load conditions for three types of road and pressure were employed in terms of the wind condition. The structural analysis for the safety of the VMRS is performed, and the structural-integrity analytical processes of the VMRS are presented for different load conditions.

Securing transportation safety infrastructure technology for Lv.4 connected autonomous driving is very important for the spread of autonomous vehicles, and the safe operation of level 4 autonomous vehicles in adverse weather has limitations due to the development of vehicle-only technology. We developed the radar-enabled AI convergence transportation entities detection system. This system is mounted on fixed and mobile supports on the road, and provides excellent autonomous driving situation recognition/determination results by converging transportation entities information collected from various monitoring sensors such as 60GHz radar and EO/IR based on artificial intelligence. By installing such a radar-enabled AI convergence transportation entities detection system on an autonomous road, it is possible to increase driving efficiency and ensure safety in adverse weather. To secure competitive technologies in the global market, the development of four key technologies such as ① AI-enabled transportation situation recognition/determination algorithm, ② 60GHz radar development technology, ③ multi-sensor data convergence technology, and ④ AI data framework technology is required.

This paper describes the development of a circularly polarized microstrip antenna, as a part of the Circularly Polarized Synthetic Aperture Radar (CP-SAR) sensor which is currently under developed at the Microwave Remote Sensing Laboratory (MRSL) in Chiba University. CP-SAR is a new type of sensor developed for the purpose of remote sensing. With this sensor, lower-noise data/image will be obtained due to the absence of depolarization problems from propagation encounter in linearly polarized synthetic aperture radar. As well the data/images obtained will be investigated as the Axial Ratio Image (ARI), which is a new data that hopefully will reveal unique various backscattering characteristics. The sensor will be mounted on an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) which will be aimed for fundamental research and applications. The microstrip antenna works in the frequency of 1.27 GHz (L-Band). The microstrip antenna utilized the proximity-coupled method of feeding. Initially, the optimization process of the single patch antenna design involving modifying the microstrip line feed to yield a high gain (above 5 dBi) and low return loss (below -10 dB). A minimum of 10 MHz bandwidth is targeted at below 3 dB of Axial Ratio for the circularly polarized antenna. A planar array from the single patch is formed next. Consideration for the array design is the beam radiation pattern in the azimuth and elevation plane which is specified based on the electrical and mechanical constraints of the UAV CP-SAR system. This research will contribute in the field of radar for remote sensing technology. The potential application is for landcover, disaster monitoring, snow cover, and oceanography mapping.

The vehicle-mounted mine detection system with large detection sensor modules can search wide areas with a fast detection speed. To mount the heavy mine detectors on a manned or unmanned vehicle, it is necessary to design the detector driving mechanism and control system based on the considerations driven from the characteristic analysis and the operation requirements of the detection system. Furthermore, while operating the mine detector mounted on a mobile vehicle, it is significant to keep the height from the ground to sensors within a certain distance in order to get a qualified detection performance. As the mine detection sensor, we used ground penetrating radar widely used to geotechnical exploration, mine detection and etc. In this paper, we introduce a driving mechanism through analyzing the characteristics of the vehicle-mounted mine detection system. We also suggest a method to automatically control the distance between the ground and GPR by utilizing the GPR output values, used to detect mines at the same time.

An investigation of tunnel linings is performed at two tunnels in the US using complimentary noncontact techniques: air-coupled ground penetrating radar (GPR), and a vehicle-mounted scanning system (SPACETEC) that combines laser, visual, and infrared thermography scanning methods. This paper shows that a combination of such techniques can maximize inspection coverage in a comprehensive and efficient manner. Since ground-truth is typically not available in public tunnel field evaluations, the noncontact techniques used are compared with two reliable in-depth contact nondestructive testing methods: ground-coupled GPR and ultrasonic tomography. The noncontact techniques are used to identify and locate the reinforcement mesh, structural steel ribs, internal layer interfaces, shallow delamination, and tile debonding. It is shown that this combination of methods can be used synergistically to provide tunnel owners with a comprehensive and efficient approach for monitoring tunnel lining conditions.

본 논문에서는 UWB (Ultra Wide Band) high 대역 (중심 주파수 : 9.5 GHz, -10 dB 대역폭 : 600 MHz, 6.4 %)의 차량 측후방 레이더 센서용 도파관 안테나를 설계 및 제작하였다. 안테나는 대역폭이 넓고 구조가 간단한 프로브 급전 구형도파관을 이용하였다. 본 연구의 차량 레이더 시스템에 있어서 송수신 안테나의 큰 격리도 특성을 얻는 것이 설계의 중요한 변수이다. 따라서 두 도파관 안테나를 E-면과 H-면 배열하였을 시 격리도 특성을 시뮬레이션 하였다. 그 결과 도파관 안테나의 $TE_{10}$ 모드에 의하여 E-면 배열 보다 H-면 배열의 격리도 특성이 우수한 것을 확인하였다. 따라서 H-면 배열된 송수신 도파관 안테나를 T-형 레이더 모듈에 장착하여 안테나의 특성을 검출하였다. T-형 모듈에 장착된 송수신 안테나의 -10 dB 대역폭은 각각 1000 MHz (10.52 %)와 1090 MHz (11.47 %)로 측정되었고 격리도 (S21)는 요구 대역 내에서 -50 dB 이하로 측정되었다. 송수신 안테나의 최대이득은 각각 7.65 dBi와 7.26 dBi로 나타났으며 H-면 빔폭은 $64^{\circ}$, $65^{\circ}$로 측정되어 차량 측후방 레이더 센서용 안테나로 적합함을 확인하였다.

본 논문에서는 무인항공기에 탑재된 안테나 간의 간섭을 고려한 안테나 최적 위치 분석에 대해서 서술하였다. 분석은 전방향성 안테나들 중 운용 주파수 대역이 인접하고, 상호 간 이격거리가 가까운 곳에 위치한 안테나들을 선정하여 수행하였다. 분석을 수행한 안테나는 제어용 데이터링크, TCAS(Traffic Collision & Avoidance System), IFF(Identification Friend or Foe), GPS(Global Positioning System)와 RALT(Radar ALTimeter) 안테나들이다. 안테나 최적 위치 분석은 세 단계로 구분된다. 첫 번째 단계는 안테나 용도, 형상 및 방사패턴을 고려한 안테나 초기 위치 선정 후 안테나 장착 시 무인항공기 구조물에 의한 안테나 방사패턴과 반사손실 특성 변화를 관찰하여 최적의 특성을 갖는 지점을 선정하는 것이다. 두 번째 단계는 안테나 간의 결합특성과 송신 안테나의 불요파 세기 및 수신 안테나의 최저수신감도를 고려하여 안테나 간 간섭 정도를 분석하는 것이다. 간섭이 발생할 경우, 간섭이 미발생하는 최소이격거리를 분석하여 간섭이 발생하지 않는 최적 위치를 선정한다. 마지막 단계는 안테나 간 추가 거리 이격으로도 간섭이 제거되지 않을 경우, 안테나 간 주파수 이격 분석을 통한 주파수 간섭 대책을 확정하는 것이다. 이러한 분석 과정은 개발단계에서 안테나 간 간섭을 예측하여 간섭이 발생하지 않는 안테나 최적 위치 선정에 유용하게 사용된다.
