Abstract

As one of solutions to obtain efficient use of limited spectrum resource, we suggest a methodology for the co-channel multi-site radar operations with a shifted linear frequency modulation (SLFM) based on GPS clock. The proposed algorithm is that we find a candidate set of SLFM signals with the minimum acceptable level of the correlation from the cross-correlation characteristics among selected SLFM signals. To verify the proposed methodology, numerical analysis has been accomplished for several radars operating in the same channel with a sawtooth or triangle LFM signal. The computational results of detected distances as well as range profiles are also examined for interference, noise, and algorithm limitation including the error of clock synchronization.

제한된 스펙트럼 자원의 효율적 사용을 위한 하나의 해법으로 GPS 시각 기반의 이동선형주파수변조(SLFM)를 갖는 동일채널 다중국소 레이더 운용을 위한 방법을 제시한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 선택된 SLFM 신호 중에 상호상관 특성으로부터 허용할 수 있는 최소상관 수준을 갖는 SLFM 후보군을 찾는다. 제안 방법의 검증을 위해 단일 톱니 또는 삼각 LFM 신호를 갖는 동일채널에 운용되는 수 개의 레이더에 대해 수치해석을 하였다. 간섭 및 잡음, 알고리즘 한계, 그리고 SLFM 신호의 시각 동기 오류에 대해 탐지 거리 및 거리 윤곽의 계산 결과를 고찰하였다.
