A weather radar usually extracts the necessary information from the return Doppler spectrum moment estimates. Phase stability is a very important factor in obtaining accurate and reliable information in a Doppler weather radar system since the system phase noise may seriously degrade the weather spectrum moment estimation quality. These spectrum moment estimates are commonly obtained using the pulse pair method which is simple to implement and fast enough to process an enormous amount of weather radar data in real time. Therefore, an analytical method is developed in this paper to analyze and quantify the phase noise effects on the pulse pair spectrum moment estimates in terms of the phase noise power and broadness.

In this paper, we developed the 200-Watts SSPA(Solid State Power Amplifier) for the X-band pulse compression solid state radar. The developed X-band SSPA is consists of 3-stage CSA(Corporate Structured Amplifier) modules in pre-amplifier stage, driver-amplifier stage and main-power amplifier stage. The main-power amplifier stage of SSPA designed by balanced type using GaN HEMT with enough power and gain to generate power more than 200-Watts in X-band. The developed SSPA has performance with more than total gain 59dB and output power 200-Watts in condition of frequency range 9.2-9.6GHz, pulse period 1msec, pulse width 100usec and duty cycle 10%. The developed SSPA in this paper can apply to high quality solid state radar system with pulse compression technique.

A pulse radar signal exhibits periodic appearance of pulses in time. So it leads to a high correlation between two samples separated in time by multiples of its period. In this paper, we present a spectrum sensing technique for a radar signal which exploits the periodicity of its autocorrelation function and a radar pulse interval estimation scheme in order to address the case that the radar pulse interval is not known a priori. Finally, we evaluate the sensing performance of the proposed scheme through computer simulation and compare its performances with those of energy detection.

This paper presents the realization schemes for a multipurpose coherent mono-pulse radar Simulator with extendable features. We developed and installed the TSG(Timing Signal Generator) board which can simulate a mechanically rotate signal of antenna, an operation timing signal of pulse radar and target signal, to operate the simulator without real target in the indoor environment. Also, with the insertion of the radar signal processor, it came to be easy to achieve the addition of radar function algorithms, to rebuild or extend the multi-DSP Architecture into the simulator. Throughout the simulation results, we verified that the designed coherent mono-pulse radar simulator can exactly display a moving target on the realistic monitor(RD 9800).

As the application field of radar is expanded and the bandwidth increases, the number of radar sensors operating at the same frequency is continuously increasing. In this paper, we propose a method of analyzing interference when two pulse doppler radars are operated at the same frequency with different waveform which are designed independently. In addition, we show that even for a previously designed LFM waveforms, the interference can be suppressed without affecting the performance by changing the sign of the frequency slope by increasing/decreasing, or by modulating the pulses by the different codes. The interference suppression by different slopes is more effective for similar waveform and the suppression by the codes increases as the number of pulses increases. We expect this result can be extended to the cases where multiple radars are operated at the same frequency.

There are range and azimuth direction resolution of synthetic aperture radar on the aircraft or satellite. Wide bandwidth chirp pulse generation technology is prerequisite for SAR image with fine resolution. There are two kinds of digital chirp pulse generation technology as arbitrary waveform generator(AWG) and direct digital synthesizer(DDS). In this paper, we design and implement a digital chirp pulse generator to generate 300MHz wide bandwidth linear FM chirp pulse for the fine resolution image with direct digital synthesizer. Implemented chirp pulse generator can be useful for the SAR sensors to make 50cm range resolution image.

In this paper, we propose a new method to deinterleave multi-stage stagger PRI signals of pulse radars using the electronic intelligence systems. While former algorithms were based on hardware PRI tracker only using the first deviation of the TOA of radar signals, this paper uses the first and the second deviation of TOA of radar signals and uses the PRI histogram method to deinterleave multiple PRIs of pulse radars. This algorithm can be used for deinterleaving various PRI signals at electronic intelligence systems.

Most of Sea Surveillance Radar(SSR)s which are used in Vessel Traffic Service are Magnetron-based Non-Coherent Method and use the pulse integration technique having a signal to noise ratio enhancement function to satisfy a surveillance performance about target. Especially, Pulse Integration technique has an effect on target serveillance performance through signal to noise ratio, in addition, has an effect to improve a signal interference and noise spike. In this paper, we have a simulation experiment by using MATLAB simulation tool for appling a pulse integration technique in VTS system using a Non-Coherent radar, and verify an optimum pulse integration technique through out performance analysis between frequently use pulse integration techniques.

In this paper, we present a novel pulse train identification method for two step stagger pulse train. Generally radar uses a fixed pulse train, and it is easy for electronic warfare system to measure the pulse repeat interval(PRI) and identify the radar. But it is very difficult to measure the PRI of stagger pulse radar because the pulse interval is periodically changed. We suggest a novel method to measure the PRI and identify the radars using the second deviation of pulse train. This method is faster comparing with Histogram method. We have a good PRI measurement results for 2 step stagger signals.

This paper has been shown for the extraction of Doppler signature from the radar signal for an air-breathing targets tracked in the ground radar. For the extractions, a Doppler resolution is confirmed from mathematical modeling of PT(pulse train) waveform. Doppler signatures of air-breathing target are varied to radar aspect angle of engine and are determined from physical parameter of jet engine. To confirm such Doppler signatures, the radar signal reflected from the air-breathing target is obtained by our radar signal storage. After this extraction, radar aspect angle of engine has estimated from tracking information. Relative differences of Doppler signatures to radar aspect angle of engine is verified from these results and Doppler profiles for radar target identification appliance are presented.
