In this paper we proposed a dual-frequency circular sector microstrip antenna with orthogonal polarized modes and high isolation between the two feeding ports. And then we designed a transceiver operating at 5.6 GHz for transmitting and at 5.5 GHz for receiving. The good isolation provided by the proposed antenna is used as the basis for the transmit-receive filtering of transceiver. The operating frequencies and polarization characteristics of the proposed antenna is calculated by using a cavity model. The 5-parameters and radiation patterns of the antenna are measured. A power amplifier and a low noise amplifier are designed and integrated with antenna to make a transceiver, which has about 13dB transmitting gain and about 8㏈ receiving gain.

이중편파 강우레이더는 차등반사도, 차등위상차, 비차등위상차 등 다양한 변수를 관측하여 호우의 공간적 규모, 호우를 구성하는 강수입자, 호우의 이동방향 등 종합적인 강우 정보를 제공한다. 이러한 이중편파레이더를 이용하면 단일편파레이더에 비해 보다 정량적인 강수 추정이 가능하다. 일반적으로 이중편파 강우레이더의 강우추정 관계식은 DSD 및 강우입자 모형을 기반으로 물리적으로 유도된다. 그러나 DSD는 호우 사상에 따라 그 양상이 다르며, 동일 호우 사상 내에서도 시공간적으로 변화가 크다. 이러한 DSD에 내포된 변동성은 결과적으로 레이더 강우에 큰 불확실성을 유발하게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 확률대응법을 이용하여 이중편파레이더의 강우추정 관계식을 추정하는 기법을 개발하고자 한다. 확률대응법은 실시간으로 강우추정 관계식의 매개변수를 추정하는 기법으로 단일편파레이더의 Z-R 관계식에 적용된 바 있다. 이러한 확률대응법을 이용하면 시공간적으로 변하는 DSD 등 호우사상의 개별적인 특징을 반영하여 호우사상별 강우추정 관계식의 매개변수를 실시간으로 결정할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이중편파레이더의 강우추정 관계식 중 R(KDP, Zdr), R(Zh, Zdr) 관계식을 위주로 매개변수를 이변량 확률대응법을 통해 추정하고, 기존의 강우추정 알고리즘 및 관계식의 레이더 강우 추정 결과와 비교를 통해 적용성을 평가하였다.

기후변화에 따른 집중호우 및 태풍 발생의 증가로 강우레이더를 이용한 홍수예경보시스템의 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 그러나 현재 국내에서 주로 활용되고 있는 단일편파 레이더는 정확도의 한계로 인해 홍수예보 활용에 어려움을 야기해왔다. 최근에는 수직반사도, 차등반사도, 비차등반사도 등 다양한 변수 취득을 통해 강우입자의 형태를 더욱 정확하게 추정할 수 있는 이중편파 레이더의 활용이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 홍수예보 활용을 위해 이중편파 레이더 실황강우 및 예측강우의 정확도를 평가하고자 한다. 평가를 위해 비슬산 레이더 자료를 활용하였으며, 2012~2014년의 강우사상을 선정하였다. 단일 및 이중편파 레이더 강우를 각각 추정하고, 강우예측을 위해 추정된 레이더 강우를 이류모델(Translation model)에 연계하여 선행 6시간까지의 예측강우를 생산하였다. 강우의 탐지능력 평가를 위해 Hit rate를 이용하였으며, 레이더 관측반경 증가 및 강우강도의 증가에 따른 정확도 분석을 수행하였다. 강수추정 정확도 평가를 위해 상관계수와 평균제곱근 오차를 이용하였으며, 비슬산 강우레이더 100 km 반경 내에 속한 국토교통부 관할의 지상관측강우와비교하였다. 그 결과, 이중편파 레이더 실황강우가 단일편파 레이더에 비해 지상관측강우의 거동과 더욱 유사하게 나타났으며, 양적인 오차도 더 적은 것으로 확인되었다. 또한, 레이더 예측강우는 선행시간이 증가함에 따라 정확도가 감소하였으나, 선행시간 1시간까지는 활용이 가능하다고 판단된다.

A novel approach for frequency-tripling vector signal generation via balanced detection without precoding and optical filter is proposed. The scheme is mainly utilizing an integrated dual-polarization quadrature phase shift keying (DPQPSK) modulator. In the DPQPSK modulator, one QPSK modulator is driven by an RF signal to generate high-order optical sidebands, while the other QPSK modulator is modulated by I/Q data streams to produce baseband vector signal as an optical carrier. After that, a frequency-tripling 16-quadrature-amplitude-modulation (16QAM) vector millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signal can be obtained by balanced detection. The proposed scheme can reduce the complexity of transmitter digital signal processing. The results show that, a 4 Gbaud baseband 16QAM vector signal can be generated at 30 GHz by frequency-tripling. After 10 km single-mode fiber (SMF) transmission, the constellation and eye diagrams of the generated vector signal perform well and a bit-error-rate (BER) below than 1e-3 can be achieved.

Access to accurate spatial precipitation in many hydrological studies is necessary. Existence of many mountains with diverse topography in South Korea causes different spatial distribution of precipitation. Rain gauge stations show accurate precipitation information in points, but due to the limited use of rain gauge stations and the difficulty of accessing them, there is not enough accurate information in the whole area. Weather radars can provide an integrated precipitation information spatially. Despite this, weather radar data have some errors that can not provide accurate data, especially in heavy rainfall. In this study, some location-based variable like aspect, elevation, plan curvature, profile curvature, slope and distance from the sea which has most effect on rainfall was considered. Then Automatic Weather Station data was used for spatial training of variables in each event. According to this, K-fold cross-validation method was combined with Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System. Based on this, 80% of Automatic Weather Station data was used for training and validation of model and 20% was used for testing and evaluation of model. Finally, spatial distribution of precipitation for 1×1 km resolution in Gwangdeoksan radar station was estimates. The results showed a significant decrease in RMSE and an increase in correlation with the observed amount of precipitation.

This study presents a new nationwide quantitative precipitation estimation (QPE) based on the hybrid surface rainfall (HSR) technique using the weather radar network of Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA). This new nationwide HSR is characterized by the synthesis of reflectivity at the hybrid surface that is not affected by ground clutter, beam blockage, non-meteorological echoes, and bright band. The nationwide HSR is classified into static (STATIC) and dynamic HSR (DYNAMIC) mosaic depending on employing a quality control process, which is based on the fuzzy logic approach for single-polarization radar and the spatial texture technique for dual-polarization radar. The STATIC and DYNAMIC were evaluated by comparing with official and operational radar rainfall mosaic (MOSAIC) of KMA for 10 rainfall events from May to October 2014. The correlation coefficients within the block region of STATIC, DYNAMIC and MOSAIC are 0.52, 0.78, and 0.69, respectively, and their mean relative errors are 34.08, 30.08, and 40.71%.

Recently, active research on the Arctic Ocean has been conducted due to the influence of global warming and new Arctic ship route. Although previous studies already calculated quantitative extent of sea ice using passive microwave radiometers, melting at the edge of sea ice and surface roughness were hardly considered due to low spatial resolution. Since Sentienl-1A/B data in Extended Wide (EW) mode are being distributed as free of charge and bulk data for Arctic sea can be generated during a short period, the entire Arctic sea ice data can be covered in high spatial resolution by mosaicking bulk data. However, Sentinel-1A/B data in EW mode, especially in HV polarization, needs significant radiometric correction for further classification. Thus, in this study, we developed algorithms that can correct thermal noise and scalloping effects, and confirmed that Arctic sea ice and open-water were well classified using the corrected dual-polarization SAR data.

The design and implementation of planar Active Phased Array Antenna System are described in this paper. This Antenna system operates at X-band with its bandwidth 10 % and dual polarization is realized using dual slot feeding microstrip patch antenna and SPDT(Single Pole Double Through) switch. Array Structure is $16\times16$ triangular lattice structure and each array is composed of TR(Transmit & Receive) module with more than 40 dBm power. Each TR module includes digital attenuator and phase shifter so that antenna beam can be electronically steered over a scan angle$({\pm}60^{\circ})$. Measurement of antenna pattern is conducted using a near field chamber and the results coincide with the expected beam pattern. From these results, it can be convinced that this antenna can be used with control of beam steering and beam shaping.

In this paper, we propose a design of dual-band patch antennas for Global Positioning System(GPS) applications, and the designed antenna is used as an individual element of GPS arrays. A low distortion and a high isolation of the array are achieved by adjusting rotating angles of each array element. The antenna consists of two radiating patches that operate in the GPS $L_1$ and $L_2$ bands, and the two ports feeding network with a hybrid chip coupler is adopted to achieve a broad circular polarization(CP) bandwidth. The rotating angles of each antenna element are varied with four directions(${\phi}=0^{\circ}$, ${\phi}=90^{\circ}$, ${\phi}=180^{\circ}$, ${\phi}=270^{\circ}$) in order to minimize the pattern distortion and maximize the isolation among array elements. The measurement shows bore-sight gains of 0.3 dBic($L_1$) and -1.0 dBic($L_2$) for the center element. Bore-sight gains of 1.6 dBic($L_1$) and 1.0 dBic($L_2$) are observed for the edge element. This results demonstrate that the proposed antenna is suitable for GPS array applications.
