  • In this paper, we implemented an Ultra-Wideband radar system using Stripmap Synthetic Apertrure Radar algorithm to recognize objects inside a box. Different window functions such as Hanning, Hamming, Kaiser, and Taylor functions to improve image recognition performance are applied and implemented to radar system. The Ultra-Wideband radar system with 3.1~4.8 GHz broadband and UWB antenna were implemented to recognize the conductor plate located inside 1m3 box. To obtain the image, we use the propagation data in the time domain according to the 1m movement distance and use the Range Doppler algorithm. The effect of different window functions to improve the recognition performance of the image are analyzed. From the compared results, we confirmed that the Kaiser window function can obtain a relatively good image.

  • In this paper, the compressed sensing basic pursuit denoise algorithm adopted to synthetic aperture radar imaging is investigated to improve the object recognition. From the incomplete data sets for image processing, the compressed sensing algorithm had been integrated to recover the data before the conventional back- projection algorithm was involved to obtain the synthetic aperture radar images. This method can lead to the reduction of measurement events while scanning the objects. An ultra-wideband radar scheme using a stripmap synthetic aperture radar algorithm was utilized to detect objects hidden behind the box. The Ultra-Wideband radar system with 3.1~4.8 GHz broadband and UWB antenna were implemented to transmit and receive signal data of two conductive cylinders located inside the paper box. The results confirmed that the images can be reconstructed by using a 30% randomly selected dataset without noticeable distortion compared to the images generated by full data using the conventional back-projection algorithm.

  • For the issue of subsurface target localization by reverse projection, a new approach of target localization with different distances based on symmetric sub-array multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar is proposed in this paper. By utilizing the particularity of structure of the two symmetric sub-arrays, the received signals are jointly reconstructed to eliminate the distance information from the steering vectors. The distance-independent direction of arrival (DOA) estimates are acquired, and the localizations of subsurface targets with different distances are realized by reverse projection. According to the localization mechanism and application characteristics of the proposed algorithm, the grid zooming method based on spatial segmentation is used to optimize the locaiton efficiency. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed localization method and optimization scheme.

  • As anti-crash and pre-crash systems in vehicles become more extensively used, the need for high performance short-range radars is playing an increasing role. This paper presents the design of a micromachined, ultra-wideband beamformer centered at 24 GHz for automotive short-range radar systems. This beamformer is a Butler matrix designed using ultra-wideband transmission-line couplers, which consist of a multilayered structure that exhibits wider bandwidth compared to conventional microstrip branch-line couplers. The circuit has been designed on a quartz substrate, and to achieve the desired coupling, lines suspended on BCB layers located at specific parts of the circuit were used, achieving a three metal layered structure in form of wide microstrips, that give low loss and a wideband response. In this paper the design and fabrication procedure of the proposed beamformer are fully described.

  • Researchers have recently shown an increased interest in estimating the direction-of-arrival (DOA) of wideband noncircular sources, but existing studies have been restricted to subspace-based methods. An off-grid sparse recovery-based algorithm is proposed in this paper to improve the accuracy of existing algorithms in low signal-to-noise ratio situations. The covariance and pseudo covariance matrices can be jointly represented subject to block sparsity constraints by taking advantage of the joint sparsity between signal components and bias. Furthermore, the estimation problem is transformed into a single measurement vector problem utilizing the focused operation, resulting in a significant reduction in computational complexity. The proposed algorithm's error threshold and the Cramer-Rao bound for wideband noncircular DOA estimation are deduced in detail. The proposed algorithm's effectiveness and feasibility are demonstrated by simulation results.

  • In this paper, the wideband mono-pulse radar using AGC and limiter is designed. The output response characteristics of the mono-pulse radar using AGC and limiter are analyzed, respectively. In addition, the output response for jamming input signals is analyzed. The range tracking loop in the mono-pulse radar has robust output response to the noise jamming input signal. Although the output settling response of the AGC-based mono-pulse radar is larger than that of the limiter-based mono-pulse radar, the AGC-based mono-pulse radar has robustness to the noise jamming input signal due to feedback loop.

  • UWB(Ultra-wideband)는 송신 안테나에서 UWB 대역을 송신한 신호를 수신 안테나를 통해 받은 신호를 가지고 목표물을 판단하는 고해상도 근거리 초광대역 레이더로 비접촉으로 사람의 호흡 및 심박을 감지할 수 있고, 환경에 영향을 받지 않아 최근 활용도가 높아지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 UWB 레이더 신호를 이용하여 사람의 호흡과 심박수를 감지하는 알고리즘을 구현한다. 인체에서부터 반사되어 들어온 레이더 신호를 메디안 필터, 칼만 필터, 밴드 패스필터 등을 이용하여 처리한다. 또한 호흡수와 심박수를 추출하기 위하여 CZT를 이용한다. 비교하는 심박 데이터로는 ECG(Electrocardiogram)를 사용하였으며, 약 98% 이상 일치함을 확인하였다.
