In this study, a survey was conducted among students who received ARPA/radar simulation training in order to verify the effect of training. An effective training method based on the analysis results was also proposed. Furthermore, this study analyzed full mission simulation conducted over one semester, and found that training effect increased as time passed. The survey showed improvement in skills related to radar/ARPA utilization, ARPA decoding, ship handling, and overall skill. Students responded practical skills improved more than theoretical knowledge, and also analysis showed that ship handling skills had a larger effect than radar decoding skills on improving overall skill, therefore proposed that theoretical education regarding the functions of radar and ARPA should be reinforced in ARPA/radar simulation training.

In recent years, the quixotic nature and concentration of rainfall due to global climate change has intensified. To monitor localized heavy rainfalls, a reliable disaster monitoring and warning system with advanced remote observation technology and high-precision display is important. In this paper, we propose a GIS-based intuitive and realistic 3D radar data display technique for accurate and detailed weather analysis. The proposed technique performs 3D object modeling of various radar variables along with ray profiles and then displays stereoscopic radar data on detailed geographical locations. Simulation outcomes show that 3D object modeling of weather radar data can be processed in real time and that changes at each moment of rainfall events can be observed three-dimensionally on GIS.

Weather radar images can be used in a variety of ways because of their high visibility in terms of visuals. In other words it has the advantage of being able to grasp the flow of weather phenomena using not only the raw data of the weather radar, but also the change characteristics between consecutive images. In particular image processing techniques are gradually expanding in the field of meteorological research, and in the case of image data having high resolution such as weather radar images it is expected to produce useful information through a new approach called image processing techniques. In this study the weather phenomena flow was calculated as a vector from the change of the weather radar image according to time interval with the optical flow method, one of the image processing techniques. The characteristics of the weather phenomena to be analyzed were derived through vector analysis resolution suitable for the scale of weather, vector interpolation in regions where no radar echo exists, and the removal of relative flow vectors to distinguish the flow of specific weather and the entire atmosphere. Through this study, it is expected that not only the use of raw data of weather radar, but also the widening of the application area of weather radar, such as the use of unique characteristics of image data, and the active use of image processing techniques in the field of meteorology in the future.

It is very essential to remove a strong ground clutter and moving clutter for an extraction of accurate information from a Doppler weather radar. Therefore, this paper proposed the use of an adaptive array antenna to overcome the shortages of a conventional weather radar. In the first, a simulation method was suggested for the generation of clutter and weather signals. Using these data, the performance of a weather radar was analyzed under various conditions. It is shown that the quality of pulse-pair estimates was greatly improved from the simulation results.

Usually marine traffic survey has been conducted by some methods like an ocular observation using portable RADAR, a questionnaire, etc. But these should have expended a lot of manpower and expenses. In this paper, we have developed new observation module which could capture the RADAR image using PC camera simply, and allowed as to track targets on the PC monitor directly. And it has been programmed to make a database of RADAR image, target's track and information, and analyze the marine traffic tendency in various ways like vessel number crossed over gate line, vessel's velocity distribution in gate line, traffic density distribution, etc. We have confirmed that this module could observe and analyze the marine traffic efficiently and economically through several on-the-spot experiments.

Smart Highway is the intelligent highway that improves a traffic safety, reduces incidence of traffic accidents, and supports intelligent and convenient driving environment so that drivers can drive at high speeds in safety[1]. In order to implement the highway, it is required to gather a dangerous data such as obstacle, wild animal, disabled car, etc. To provide the situation information of the highway, it has been gathered traffic information using various sensors. However, this technique has problems such as the problems of various information gathering, lack of accuracy depending on weather conditions and limitation of maintenance. Therefore, in order to provide safe driving information to driver by gathering dangerous condition, radar system is needed. In this paper, we used a developing 34.5GHz RWR(Road Watch Radar) radar for gathering dangerous information and we verified performance of obstacle detecting and resolution through field test.

In this paper, a compact L-shaped shorted pin patch to be used at local oscillator port in radar detector is proposed. Shorted pin patch operates as short-open cavity while conventional patch operates as open-open cavity. Shorted pins are L-shaped to obtain quarter wave length and three-quarter wave length resonance for the fundamental(X-band) and $2^{nd}(3^{rd})$(K- and Ka-band) mode resonance frequency, respectively. Thus, the proposed patch can be compact. It is also possible to operate at triple band(X-, K-, Ka-band) with small return loss in radar detector, It is expected that shorted pin patch could improve radar detector sensitivity.

This paper presents a K-band radar system installed on the ground moving vehicle to detect and track a high-speed target. The presented radar is separated into three search regions to satisfy a wide area detection and a limitation of the installing space of the radar, and each region performs detecting the target independently and tracking the detected target automatically. The presented radar radiating K-band FMCW waveform acquires range and velocity information of the target at the every dwell and receiving antenna of the radar is applied the multiple baseline interferometer to extract the precise angle information of the target. 3-dimensional tracking accuracy of the radar is 0.25 m RMSE measured actually through a fire experiment of an imitation target.

The interference among the rain radars and interference in the adjacent wireless station due to the spurious signals from the rain radar were analyzed in this paper. The rain radar measures the rain intensity using S-band signal. The measured data are utilized in forecasting the rainfall. The interference among the rain radars or in the adjacent wireless stations may be caused by the operation with low elevation angle and the high output power. Based on the propagation analysis of S band signal and the deduced interference protection ratio of rain radar, the interference due to the rain radar are analyzed. Also, the radiation spectrum characteristics of a rain radar are deduced from the caused interference effects by the spurious signals of the rain radar. To minimize the interference effects for adjacent wireless stations, it is required to get the rejection characteristics of spurious signals above 105 dB. In viewpoints of interference for rain radars, it is necessary to operate the rain radar with a different PRF and operation time opposite to adjacent rain radars.

This paper describes the jamming effect of phase-coded pulse compression(PCPC) radar. Barker code radar, a typical PCPC radar, separates transmission pulses into 13 or 31 small pulses and phase modulates and transmits each pulse signal to increase radar detection efficiency and reduce the influence of jamming. Generally, when the radar is subjected to jamming, the detection distance becomes shorter and the detection error rate becomes higher. In the case of noise jamming or carrier jamming on the PCPC radar, the jamming effect is very small for no phase-coded convergence. However, the jamming effect is large in the case of synchronous jamming using the pulse-coded signal as a jamming signal with DRFM. It can be seen that the jamming effect increases when the storage time of the pulse-coded signal is prolonged. This study is considered to be useful for PCPC radar and EW jamming system design.
