Abstract

In this paper, the effects of separation distance from a thick radar cover on the performance of 24 GHz band radar was studied through experiments. When a polycarbonate radar cover with a thickness of 10 mm was placed in front of the radar, the variations in radar performance according to the change in the separation distance between the radar and the radar cover was compared with the case without the radar cover. As a radar performance indicator, the distance measured from the radar was used, and the distance was measured using the radar when a person moves away from the radar at a constant speed in the hallway of the building and then approaches again. The separation distance between the radar and radar cover was tested at 2 mm, 5 mm, and 20 mm, respectively. When there was no radar cover, the distance could be measured up to 49.64 m and the error was the lowest. When the separation distance was 2 mm, there was a section where distance measurement was not possible starting from 37.61 m, so the performance was the worst. When the separation distance was increased to 5 mm and 20 mm, the distance was measured up to 49.56 m, but the section where the error between the measured distance and the expected distance was large occurred more often than when there was no radar cover.

본 논문에서는 두꺼운 레이더 커버와의 이격 거리가 24 GHz 대역 레이더 성능에 미치는 영향을 실험을 통해 연구하였다. 레이더 앞에 두께 10 mm의 폴리카보네이트 레이더 커버가 놓일 때 레이더와 레이더 커버 사이의 이격 거리 변화에 따른 레이더 성능의 변화를 레이더 커버가 없을 때와 비교하였다. 레이더 성능 지표로는 레이더에서 측정된 거리를 사용하였고, 건물 내 복도에서 사람이 일정한 속도로 레이더로부터 멀리 벗어났다가 다시 가까워질 때 거리를 측정하였다. 레이더와 레이더 커버 사이의 이격 거리는 2 mm, 5 mm, 20 mm로 정하여 실험하였다. 레이더 커버가 없을 때는 49.64 m까지 거리를 측정할 수 있었고 가장 오차가 적었다. 이격 거리가 2 mm일 때는 레이더 커버의 영향으로 37.61 m부터 거리 측정이 안되는 구간이 나와서 성능이 가장 좋지 않았다. 이격 거리가 5 mm와 20 mm로 증가시켰을 때는 49.56 m까지 거리가 측정되었으나 측정된 거리와 실제 거리와의 오차가 큰 구간이 레이더 커버가 없을 때 보다 많이 발생하였다.
