추적 레이다의 주요 기능은 목표물을 자동으로 추적하는 기능이다. 추적 레이다 중 진폭비교 모노펄스 레이다의 추적 원리를 이용하여 목표물의 각도를 추정할 수 있다. 목표물의 각도를 추정할 때 발생되는 잡음을 고려하여, 각도 오차 검출을 통해 동작하는 진폭비교 모노펄스 레이다의 성능을 분석하고자 한다. 또한 Taylor 전개 기반 근사로 얻은 추정값을 이용하여 진폭비교 모노펄스 레이다의 추정 성능을 예측할 수 있다. 이를 위해 본 논문에서는 진폭비교 모노펄스 레이다의 성능을 Mean Square Error(MSE) 오차로 정량화하여 해석한다.

Aircraft radar has special function which is ranging from aircraft to ground of antenna boresight. Because ranging information is used to calibrate altitude of aircraft or to drop a conventional bomb, the measuring have to be precise and robust. Therefore, we propose a simple and efficient method using monopulse radar for ground ranging. Proposed method calculates balancing weight according to linearity of monopulse ratio and mixes two ranging measurements in proportional to the weight. By exploiting balancing weight, radar is able to react to various environment as monopulse ratio contains characteristics of clutter environment. As a result, robust ranging information can be achieved. We use DEM(Digital Elevation Model) in order to simulate heterogeneous environment. In experimental result, it is shown that proposed method shows better accuracy and precision in any environment.

The dynamic information of radar and automatic identification system (AIS) for targets obtained from the traffic vessels operating in the north outer harbor and surrounding waters of Busan port, Korea. The target information was analyzed to investigate the potential collision risk resulting from the invalid true heading (HDT) information of AIS and the integration ambiguity in the graphic presentation of both tracked data sets for two systems. An integrated display system (IDS) for supporting the navigator of offshore fishing vessels was also developed to find possible maneuvering solutions for collision avoidance by comparing radar data with AIS data in real-time at sea. Consequently, the multiple functions of IDS can provide additional information that is potentially valuable for taking action to avoid the collision in offshore fishing vessels. However, the integration criteria of radar and AIS targets in the IDS must be carefully established to eliminate the fusion ambiguity in the graphic presentation of both AIS and radar symbols such as the one or two physical targets which are very close to each other.

Recognition of radar emitter signals is one of core elements in radar reconnaissance systems. A novel method based on singular value decomposition (SVD) and the main ridge slice of ambiguity function (AF) is presented for attaining a higher correct recognition rate of radar emitter signals in case of low signal-to-noise ratio. This method calculates the AF of the sorted signal and ascertains the main ridge slice envelope. To improve the recognition performance, SVD is employed to eliminate the influence of noise on the main ridge slice envelope. The rotation angle and symmetric Holder coefficients of the main ridge slice envelope are extracted as the elements of the feature vector. And kernel fuzzy c-means clustering is adopted to analyze the feature vector and classify different types of radar signals. Simulation results indicate that the feature vector extracted by the proposed method has satisfactory aggregation within class, separability between classes, and stability. Compared to existing methods, the proposed feature recognition method can achieve a higher correct recognition rate.

소형 레이더 신호를 정량적으로 분석하여 해상물표의 운동정보를 실시간으로 추출 및 표시하기 위한 radar target extractor(RTX)를 개발하고, 이 장치를 소형 레이더 장치에 부착시켜 소형 연근해 어선에서도 타선의 진운동정보나 충돌회피정보와 같은 각종의 항해정보를 활용토록 하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 본 연구에서 개발한 RTX는 IBM PC 의 ISA bus를 통해 데이터를 입출력할 수 있도록 설계된 신호처리장치로서, 일반 선박용 레이더에서 출력되는 video signal, trigger, antenna bearing pulse, antenna heading mark를 직접 입력할 수 있도록 하였다. 이 장치는 레이더 펄스신호가 해상에 존재하는 물표로부터 반사되어 수신될 때, 그 물표의 신호정보 및 위치좌표정보를 PC 의 CPU 에 의해 처리하지 않고 RTX 자체에 내장된 전용 DSP를 이용하여 실시간으로 처리하도록 하였다. 이 장치에 서 video 신호는 analog devices 사의 AD9042 (12 bit, 40 MHZ monolithic A/D converter)를 이용하여 digital 신호로 변환되고, 그 화상 신호는 CRT에 PPI 방식으로 표시되었다. 이 때 안테나가 회전하면서 탐지한 레이더 물표의 echo 신호는 echo 신호의 강도가 증가하면서 다른 물표의 위치와 구별되면 하나의 물표로서 판정한다. 이 경우, 표적식별 알고리즘은 물표가 미리 설정한 물표포착영역(target acquiring zone)내에 있고, 해당 물표의 크기와 다른 물표와의 거리등에 대한 데이터가 식별기준을 만족하는가에 대한 처리를 수행하도록 개발되었다. 본 연구는 현재 소형어선에 탑재되고 있는 소형레이더의 성능 향상에 크게 기여할 것으로 판단되고, 또한 소형어선용 저가형 ARPA 시스템의 국산화에 필요한 기반기술을 제공할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This paper describes on the consolidation of AIS and ARPA radar positions by comparing the AIS and ARPA radar information for the tracked ship targets using a PC-based ECDIS in Busan harbor, Korea. The information of AIS and ARPA radar target was acquired independently, and the tracking parameters such as ship's position, COG, SOG, gyro heading, rate of turn, CPA, TCPA, ship s name and MMSI etc. were displayed automatically on the chart of a PC-based ECDIS with radar overlay and ARPA tracking. The ARPA tracking information obtained from the observed radar images of the target ship was compared with the AIS information received from the same vessel to investigate the difference in the position and movement behavior between AIS and ARPA tracked target ships. For the ARPA radar and AIS targets to be consolidated, the differences in range, speed, course, bearing and distance between their targets were estimated to obtain a clear standards for the consolidation of ARPA radar and AIS targets. The average differences between their ranges, their speeds and their courses were 2.06% of the average range, -0.11 knots with the averaged SOG of 11.62 knots, and $0.02^{\circ}$ with the averaged COG of $37.2^{\circ}$, respectively. The average differences between their bearings and between their positions were $-1.29^{\circ}$ and 68.8m, respectively. From these results, we concluded that if the ROT, COG, SOG, and HDG informations are correct, the AIS system can be improved the prediction of a target ship's path and the OOW(Officer of Watch) s ability to anticipate a traffic situation more accurately.

Accurately predicting localized heavy rainfall is challenging without high-resolution mesoscale cloud information in the numerical model's initial field, as precipitation intensity and amount vary significantly across regions. In the Korean Peninsula, the radar observation network covers the entire country, providing high-resolution data on hydrometeors which is suitable for data assimilation (DA). During the pre-processing stage, radar reflectivity is classified into hydrometeors (e.g., rain, snow, graupel) using the background temperature field. The mixing ratio of each hydrometeor is converted and inputted into a numerical model. Moreover, assimilating saturated water vapor mixing ratio and decomposing radar radial velocity into a three-dimensional wind vector improves the atmospheric dynamic field. This study presents radar DA experiments using a numerical prediction model to enhance the wind, water vapor, and hydrometeor mixing ratio information. The impact of radar DA on precipitation prediction is analyzed separately for each radar component. Assimilating radial velocity improves the dynamic field, while assimilating hydrometeor mixing ratio reduces the spin-up period in cloud microphysical processes, simulating initial precipitation growth. Assimilating water vapor mixing ratio further captures a moist atmospheric environment, maintaining continuous growth of hydrometeors, resulting in concentrated heavy rainfall. Overall, the radar DA experiment showed a 32.78% improvement in precipitation forecast accuracy compared to experiments without DA across four cases. Further research in related fields is necessary to improve predictions of mesoscale heavy rainfall in South Korea, mitigating its impact on human life and property.

The radar backscatter from various earth surfaces is sensitive to the frequency of the incident wave. This study examined the radar sensitivities for surface parameters such as soil moisture content and surface roughness of both bare and vegetated surfaces at X-band. Because L-band frequencies are often used for sensing the surface parameters, the sensitivities of X-band are also compared with those of the L-band. The sensitivities of the X-band radar backscatter were examined with respect to soil moisture content and surface roughness of rough bare soil surfaces. These sensitivities were also examined using the same parameters for vegetated surfaces for various vegetation densities and incidence angles. Use of the X-band radar for soil moisture detection was as effective as L-band radar for bare soil surfaces. For vegetated surfaces, the soil moisture could be detected using an X-band radar at lower incidence angles, where the upper limit of the incidence angles was dependent on vegetation density.

This paper addresses the problem of robust waveform design for distributed multiple-radar systems (DMRSs) based on low probability of intercept (LPI), where signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) and mutual information (MI) are utilized as the metrics for target detection and information extraction, respectively. Recognizing that a precise characterization of a target spectrum is impossible to capture in practice, we consider that a target spectrum lies in an uncertainty class bounded by known upper and lower bounds. Based on this model, robust waveform design approaches for the DMRS are developed based on LPI-SINR and LPI-MI criteria, where the total transmitting energy is minimized for a given system performance. Numerical results show the effectiveness of the proposed approaches.
