본 논문에서는 주파수 변조 연속파(FMCW) 전파고도계의 신호처리 알고리즘 및 실용적인 평가방안을 제안한다. 전파 고도계는 초기에 탐색모드로 동작하여 고도를 탐색하고, 유효한 고도가 탐색되면 추적모드로 전환되어 측정된 고도를 표시한다. 고도 탐색/추적 시 기준고도 또는 추적고도에 따라 변조대역폭을 제어함으로써 비트 주파수 대역폭을 제한하며, 송신출력과 수신이득의 제어를 통해 고도 변화에 따라 늘어난 수신 전력의 동적 범위를 보상하도록 설계하였다. 개발된 전파고도계의 성능은 더욱 실제적인 환경에서의 크레인 시험을 통해 신호처리 알고리즘의 동작과 낮은 측정오차를 성공적으로 검증하였다.

In this paper, we propose a new jammer suppression algorithm that uses orthogonal waveform space projection (OWSP) processing for a multiple input multiple output (MIMO) radar system exposed to a jamming signal. Generally, a conventional suppression algorithm based on adaptive beamforming (ABF) needs a covariance matrix composed of the jammer and noise only. By exploiting the orthogonality of the transmitting waveforms of MIMO, we can construct a transmitting waveform space (TWS). Then, using the OWSP processing, we can build a space orthogonal to the TWS that contains no SOI. By excluding the SOI from the received signal, even in the case that contains the SOI and jamming signal, the proposed algorithm makes it possible to evaluate the covariance matrix for ABF. We applied the proposed OWSP processing to suppressing the jamming signal in bistatic MIMO radar. We verified the performance of the proposed algorithm by comparing the SINR loss to that of the ideal covariance matrix composed of the jammer and noise only. We also derived the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm and compared the estimation of the DOD and DOA using the SOI with those using the generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) algorithm.

The design theory and experimental results of a true random noise radar system are presented in this paper. Target range information can be extracted precisely by correlation processing between the delayed reference and the signal received from a target, and the velocity information by the Doppler processing with successive correlation data. A K-band noise radar system was designed using random FM noise signal, and the characteristics of the fabricated system were examined with laboratory and outdoor experiments. A C-band random FM noise signal was generated by applying a low-frequency white Gaussian noise source to VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator), and a K-band Tx noise signal with 100 MHz bandwidth was obtained by using a following frequency multiplier. Two modified wave-guide horn arrays were designed and fabricated, and used for the Tx and Rx antennas. The required amount of Tx/Rx isolation was attained by using a coupling cancellation circuit as well as keeping them apart with predetermined spacing. A double down-conversion scheme was used in the Rx and reference channels, respectively, for easy post processing such as correlation and Doppler processing. The implemented noise radar performance was examined with a moving bicycle and a very high-speed target with a velocity of 150 m/s. The results extracted by the Matlab simulation using the logging data were found to be in a reasonable agreement with the expected results.

향후 레이더는 능동 위상 배열레이더(Active Phased-Array Radar System)로 발전하는 추세이다. 특히, 다채널 수신 시스템에서 실시간 신호처리를 위해서 신호처리용 보드의 처리 속도와 개수와의 trade-off는 최적화 되어야 한다. 본 논문에서는 많은 양의 수신 데이터를 안테나부에서 신호처리부로 전달하기 위한 전송 기법에 대하여 소개하고자 한다. 그 결과, 기존 방법에 비해 신호처리부의 S/L 보드 개수는 절반(1/2) 수준으로 감소하였고, 통신 전송 속도 여유 마진은 약 2배 더 증가되는 효과가 있다.

Researchers have recently shown an increased interest in estimating the direction-of-arrival (DOA) of wideband noncircular sources, but existing studies have been restricted to subspace-based methods. An off-grid sparse recovery-based algorithm is proposed in this paper to improve the accuracy of existing algorithms in low signal-to-noise ratio situations. The covariance and pseudo covariance matrices can be jointly represented subject to block sparsity constraints by taking advantage of the joint sparsity between signal components and bias. Furthermore, the estimation problem is transformed into a single measurement vector problem utilizing the focused operation, resulting in a significant reduction in computational complexity. The proposed algorithm's error threshold and the Cramer-Rao bound for wideband noncircular DOA estimation are deduced in detail. The proposed algorithm's effectiveness and feasibility are demonstrated by simulation results.

An airborne radar is an essential aviation electronic system of the helicopter to perform various missions in all-weather environments. This paper presents the results of the design and implementation of the airborne pulse doppler radar signal processor using high multi-DSP for the multi-function radar capability such as short-range, midium-range, and long-range depending on the mission of the vehicle. Particularly, the radar signal processor is developed using two DSP boards in parallel for the various radar signal processing algorithm. The key algorithms include LFM chirp waveform-based pulse compression, MTI clutter filter, MTD processor, adaptive CFAR, and clutter map. Especially airborne moving clutter Doppler spectrum compensation algorithm such as TACCAR is implemented for the multi-mode airborne radar system. The test results shows the good Doppler spectral separation for the clutter and the moving target in the flight test environment using helicopter.

In this paper, the confirmation method of target detection for the vehicle mounted metal detector (MD) has been described. The vehicle mounted MD with the arrayed 6 coils to detect the width of 2.4 m was demonstrated. It is important and necessary to inform the location of the objects detected by the MD. The confirmation method of target detection was verified by using the MD GUI and the analysis of the receive signal processing. The receive signal processing is performed by comparing the threshold and the difference of the signal calibrated at initial location and the signal detected at present location.

최근 드론은 다양한 분야에서 활용되고 있고 드론의 기술도 또한 발전하고 있다. 이에 따라 드론에 대한 위험이 증가하고 있으며, 이로 인한 위협을 줄이기 위하여 드론을 탐지하는 기술이 중요해지고 있다. 하지만 드론은 크기가 작고 반사도가 낮은 재질로 되어 있어 탐지가 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 소형/경량화한 펄스 도플러 레이다에 탑재되는 신호처리 구조를 설계하였다. 대용량 데이터를 실시간으로 처리하기 위하여 채널 별 병렬처리를 수행하고 각 단계에서 연산시간 단축을 위한 알고리즘을 적용하였다. 위상배열안테나와 통합하여 야외시험을 통해 드론 탐지 성능을 확인하였으며, 이로 인하여 본 구조 설계가 실시간으로 동작함을 알 수 있었다.

This study introduces a simulation model of radar responses with frequencies on subsurface voids in concrete. In this model, the resolution and the attenuation according to radar frequencies in each interface which has different electromagnetic property are analyzed. This model aims to select the best frequency of radar which can analyze the thickness of voids in concrete from radar response. It also can be applied to estimate the limitation of propagation depth of radar on subsurface voids in concrete. The computed results show the radar images based on radar signal processing using convolution technique.
