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.

CNS/ATM(Communication Navigation Surveillance/Air Traffic Management) was adopted as a standard navigation system of 21st century. Therefore, ICAO(International Civil Aviation Organization) members are developing the technology and infrastructure of CNS/ATM. ADS-B(Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) system and Multilateration system are being implemented in the surveillance field of CNS/ATM. Multilateration system is installed in order to complement radar system and to surveil blind areas. Also, Multilateration system using TDOA(Time Difference Of Arrival) is more accurate than radar. In this paper, we applied an IMM(Interacting Multiple Model) filter which is widely used in radar systems to the Multilateration data in order to improve the reliability of the Multilateration data. Comparisons with the original Multilateration data and the Multilateration data with the IMM filter show that the ADS-B data with the IMM filter provides a better performance: 38.37% near the airport, 20.86% around 10 miles of the airport.

ADS-B is a newly developed air surveillance technology to address the consistently increasing air traffic needs. ADS-B attracts attention for replacing or complementing a conventional radar since ADS-B can provide more accurate position information with a shorter interval when compared to the radar. However, as ADS-B uses wireless data links on exchanging information between an aircraft and a ground ADS-B system, and uses protocols without integrity support on exchanging information within the ground ADS-B system, a system which can monitor the operational status of an ADS-B system is essential. In this work, we design and implement an ADS-B monitoring system capable of displaying air traffic situation that can show the comprehensive air traffic situation while monitoring the operational status of the ADS-B system. The implemented ADS-B monitoring system has been verified with a configured ADS-B ground system by displaying ADS-B surveillance data, radar surveillance data, and flight information after receiving live surveillance data of in flight aircrafts, and virtual flight information data.

In this paper, an area-efficient feature extractor was proposed for security surveillance radar systems and FPGA-based implementation results were presented. In order to reduce the memory requirements, features extracted from Doppler profile for FFT window-size are used, while those extracted from total spectrogram for frame-size are excluded. The proposed feature extractor was design using Verilog-HDL and implemented with Xilinx Zynq-7000 FPGA device. Implementation results show that the proposed design can reduce the logic slice and memory requirements by 58.3% and 98.3%, respectively, compared with the existing research. In addition, security surveillance radar system with the proposed feature extractor was implemented and experiments to classify car, bicycle, human and kickboard were performed. It is confirmed from these experiments that the accuracy of classification is 93.4%.

From the 1978 Seasat synthetic aperture radar(SAR) to present systems, spaceborne SAR has demonstrated the capability to image the Earth's ocean and land features over broad areas, day and night, and under most weather conditions. The application of SAR for surveillance of commercial fishing grounds can did in the detection of illegal fishing activities and provides more efficient use cf limited aircraft or patron craft resources. In the area of vessel traffic monitoring for commercial vessels, Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) which uses the ground-based radar system has some difficulties in detecting moving ships due to the limited detection range cf about 10 miles. This paper introduces the field testing results of ship detection by RADARSAT SAR imagery, and proposes a new approach for a Vessel Monitoring System(VMS), including VTS, and SAR combination service.

Fisheries Surveillance System (FSS) is to protect fishing farms a thief. To implement the FSS a speacial test system which can be operate at any natural environments in the practical farm fields is needed. This paper describes some up coming results for the implementation of Radar Car as the special test system which consists of small van-type car, commercial Radar system, Radar Scan Converter(RSC) and, computer system. This Radar Car is designed to test the influences of sea clutter according to the height of Radar Scanner and to verify some effects of side-lobe suppression by special materials attached at each side of the Radar scanner. The post digital signal processing of digital radar signal comes from Radar Scan Converter(RSC) is also discussed, then designed and developed a new RSC in this study.

The surveillance radar for naval ships is an essential equipment of a battle system that executes the detection and tracking of targets, and the shooting support function; it calculates the three-dimensional track of the target range, azimuth, and altitude to carry out its duty. The surveillance radar consists of an antenna, a transceiver, a processing unit, and an air dryer section. The radar radiates the transmission signal on the antenna section, receives the reflected signal from the target, and amplifies the signals on the transceiver section. The signal received from the antenna is used to provide the operator with target information in various ways. This study identified the display problems when the information about the target is displayed through the radar. The causes of the problems were analyzed and improved. The tracking disappearance phenomenon caused by the altered-course of the ship was improved on the TWS tracking algorithm. The validity of the improved TWS tracking algorithm was confirmed by the normal condition of the target status on the B-scope.

This paper is concerned with an interrogator capable of constructing a interrogation scenario for acquiring active airspace to the intruding aircraft into the surveillance area of the MLAT system. In the MLAT system, the interrogator is an important device used to carry out the interrogation towards the aircraft within the surveillance airspace in the appropriate surveillance scenario. Unlike a conventional SSR's interrogation methods that interrogate for airplanes flying within a certain range, the MLAT system requires a interrogation system that can actively interrogate from remote to near range, or according to operational scenarios, for aircraft intruding into the surveillance range. The interrogator implemented in this paper can be used for interrogating and monitoring aircraft within each surveillance airspace using whisper-shout algorithm according to varying output power based on the actual operation distance.

A 3-5 GHz UWB radar chip in 0.13 ${\mu}m$ CMOS process is presented in this paper. The UWB radar transceiver for surveillance and biometric applications adopts the equivalent time sampling architecture and 4-channel time interleaved samplers to relax the impractical sampling frequency and enhance the overall scanning time. The RF front end (RFFE) includes the wideband LNA and 4-way RF power splitter, and the analog signal processing part consists of the high speed track & hold (T&H) / sample & hold (S&H) and integrator. The interleaved timing clocks are generated using a delay locked loop. The UWB transmitter employs the digitally synthesized topology. The measured NF of RFFE is 9.5 dB in 3-5 GHz. And DLL timing resolution is 50 ps. The measured spectrum of UWB transmitter shows the center frequency within 3-5 GHz satisfying the FCC spectrum mask. The power consumption of receiver and transmitter are 106.5 mW and 57 mW at 1.5 V supply, respectively.
