In this paper we suggested the chirp stitching algorithm and transmitter/receiver channel to a spaceborne high resolution SAR which enables wideband signal generation and processing with minimum hardware requirement. The transmitter channel generates two sub-band signals and then generate a wideband signal using chirp stitching algorithm and the receiver channel divides a wideband signal into two sub-band signals in order to overcome the high speed data handling capability of this spaceborne systems. We generated and processed a 100 MHz wideband signal evaluated the performance and verified the feasibility of the application of this chirp stitching algorithm and transmitter/receiver channel to spaceborne high resoultion SAR.

In this paper, The design and implementation of Multi Channel Receiver is described in this paper. This Receiver system operates at X-band with processing received signal, more than 80[dB] dynamic range and wide-band signals at the same time. To process direct received signals, this system has the built-in Digital De-modulators which offer the minimum loss on the receiving signal pass and has high stability by adding Built-In Test (BIT). The performance of Multi Receiver is the following. The gain, noise figure, difference of amplitude and phase on the signal pass is respectively $14{\pm}2[dB]$, 19[dB], ${\pm}2[dB]$, and $10^{\circ}$ below.

For general target tracking works by receiving a set of measurements from sensor. However, if the SNR(Signal to Noise Ratio) is low due to small RCS(Radar Cross Section), caused by remote small targets, the target's information can be lost during signal processing. TBD(Track Before Detect) is an algorithm that performs target tracking without threshold for detection. That is, all sensor data is sent to the tracking system, which prevents the loss of the target's information by thresholding the signal intensity. On the other hand, using all sensor data inevitably leads to computational problems that can severely limit the application. In this paper, we propose an iterative Joint Integrated Probabilistic Data Association as a practical target tracking technique suitable for a low SNR multi-target environment with real time operation capability, and verify its performance through simulation studies.

In this paper, we propose a device for detect front object using low-price the CW Doppler sensor to prevent safety accident such as a bicycle, an electric wheelchair users. For this propose, we develop a signal process board and the object motion detect algorithm using to analyzing output signal of the CW Doppler sensor. Output signal from CW Doppler sensor is analog I and analog Q. The CW Doppler sensor shows phase I and phase Q of object differently when the object approach, stop, drop by sensor. We develop an algorithm that can detect object by discrimination information of phase using the CW Doppler sensor. The verification use firmware of applied hardware and algorithm. Then, the motion information can be confirming output depending on motion object by experiment normally. As a result, we check that the sensing information output by following motion of object and confirm an algorithm and motion of signal processing board.

To reject the Doppler frequency spectrum dispersion of clutter caused by high-speed antenna rotation of MTI radar system due to terrain characteristics, signal processing parameters(MTI filter constant, M/N detector ration, K-factor and offset of CFAR) are adjusted for the optimal elimination of the ground clutter. For this investigation, logging equipment is designed and utilized for the collection of classified ground clutter data. Test case is devised through Matlab simulation for the classified analysis and optimization of clutter rejection. Then indoor radar test and outside test in accordance with terrain characteristics are repeatedly performed for the verification of the test. This whole process is through the evolutional development model and repeated for the optimization. Final result is that ground-clutter rejection capability is 5.6 times(7.5 dB) better than that of existing radar system.

Inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images can be generated by radar which radiates the electromagnetic wave to a target and receives signal reflected from the target. ISAR images can be widely used to target detection and recognition. This paper proposed a method of generation of high resolution ISAR images by synthesizing frequency spectrums of each stepped chirp waveform in one burst and sub-sampling in frequency domain. This process is performed over entire bursts during coherent processing interval. Conventional ISAR image generation method using stepped frequency waveform has a severe problem of short unambiguous range, loading to ghost phenomenon. However, this problem can be resolved by the proposed method. In simulations, we generate high resolution ISAR image of the moving target which is Boeing-737 aircraft model composed of several ideal point scatterers.

In this paper, W-band transceiver module for compact radar has been designed and fabricated. Utilizing proposed microstrip-to-waveguide transition, the error between design and implementation is reduced. The proposed transition provides less than 1 dB insertion loss per transition and reliability for fabrication. In order to apply compact radar with dual-polarized monopulse directly, W-band transmitter with 28 dBm output power is designed and developed. Also, 6 channels of receiver module with low noise figure 13.5 dB and maximum 17 dBm input P1dB is developed. Proposed W-band transceiver module is expected compact radar application for dual-polarized monopulse signal processing system.

To supplement energy needs and take advantage of renewable energy sources, many wind farms are currently being built in mountainous areas under the supervision of the Korean government. However, operation of these wind farms can cause serious threats to national security due to Doppler modulation from the wind turbines causing interference with military radar operating in the vicinity. Therefore it is necessary to develop methods to analyze the Doppler frequency during the operation of wind turbines and the effect on radar signals. Based on modeling of the mountainous region, blockage analysis, turbine motion and the radar signals, this paper proposes a signal processing method to extract and analyze the Doppler frequency. Simulation results showed the change of Doppler frequency over time caused by the geometry of the mountainous area and the wind turbine.

Radar method can be effective in probing concrete structures damaged by earthquake. Data analysis is usually performed in time domain, by considering time delay of the wave due to the dielectric constant of concrete. In this study, improved data analysis has been performed using signal processing scheme of spectra analysis and filtering. Three antenna with 900MHz, 1㎓, and 1.5㎓ center frequency were used to detect a steel bar or delamination in specimens for obtaining data, Frequency spectrum was filtered in low pass, high pass, and band pass varying cutoff frequency with 1/3 octave in frequency domain. The most effective cutoff frequency for each frequency has been determined as the range for 2 octave lower to 1 octave higher and 2 octave lower to 1 octave lower. This result provided a basis in improving data analysis capability using frequency domain filtering.

In this paper, an FPGA-based acceleration scheme of range Doppler algorithm (RDA) is proposed for the real time synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging. Hardware architectures of matched filter based on systolic array architecture and a high speed sinc interpolator to compensate range cell migration (RCM) are presented. In addition, the proposed hardware was implemented and accelerated on Xilinx Alveo FPGA. Experimental results for 4096×4096-size SAR imaging showed that FPGA-based implementation achieves 2 times acceleration compared to GPU-based design. It was also confirmed the proposed design can be implemented with 60,247 CLB LUTs, 103,728 CLB registers, 20 block RAM tiles and 592 DPSs at the operating frequency of 312 MHz.
