In this paper, the design method and algorithms of the signal processor for a multipurpose radar system are analyzed. The signal processor, operating at the two modes-collision avoidance mode and weather mode, has 4 steps of ADC, NCI, STC, CFAR. Several algorithms of NCI and CFAR are analyzed and the optimal design is proposed to the system. CVI and CMLD algorithm have good performance in decreasing the false alarm rate and increasing detection probability, Regarding processor computational capacity, K=12 for CVI, M=16~20, Ko=M-4 for CMLD is suggested. CVI processing needs much time, two or more processors need to be allocated to CVI. So, for the system with four processors, two processors should be allocated to VID of NCI with ADC input and CFAR with STC, and two processors are should be allocated to CVI.

Software-Defined Radar는 기본 레이다 하드웨어의 기능을 소프트웨어로 구현할 수 있게 하여 하드웨어의 재구성이 용이하므로 다양한 활용 목적에 따라 레이다 기능을 다양화할 수 있고, 개발기간과 비용을 줄일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 특히 소프트웨어의 유연성이 높아 레이다 주변 환경에 따라 레이다 신호처리 알고리듬을 쉽게 적용할 수 있다. 본 기고에서는 다중대역에서 다중모드로 운용할 수 있는 소프트웨어 기반의 레이다 플랫폼 개발에 대한 기술 배경과 개발 내용을 설명하였고, 다양한 활용 전망을 살펴보았다.

본 원고에서는 원격탐사용으로 사용되는 레이다 중에서 가장 많이 사용되는 Scatterometer에 대해 소개하였다. SAR는 주로 넓은 지역의 레이다 영상을 얻는데 사용되는 소위 영상레이다로서, 기본 구성품은 일반적인 레이다와 크게 다를 바 없으며 거의 모든 부분에서 현재의 state-of-the-art를 크게 벗어나는 요구사항은 없다고 판단된다. 단지 아주 작은 분해능(수십cm정도)을 실시간으로 요구할 때에는 막대한 계산량으로 인한 신호처리에서의 병목 현상을 적절히 해결해야 한다. 본 원고에서는 여러 가지의 SAR 신호처리 방식을 소개하였으며 본 대학에서 수행한 간단한 실험에 적용시킨 결과를 보였다. 또한 현재 많이 발표되고 있는 Interferometric SAR에 대해 간단히 소개하였으며, 마지막으로 레이다 영상으로부터 표적의 제반 특성을 추출하는 inversion algorithm을 개발하거나 기타 여러 연구에 사용될 수 있는 차량 탑재형 Scatterometer에 대해 소개하였다. 본 대학에서 개발중인 POPOS가 완성되면 지금까지 측정되거나 발표된 적이 없는 한국 특유의 표적이나 경작물들의 산란 특성($\sigma^{\circ}$)을 측정할 수 있으며, 또한 현재 관심의 대상이 되고 있는 GPEN 또는 FOPEN 등의 연구에도 크게 도움이 될 수 있으리라 기대된다.

We studied for GPU based signal processor for naval multi-function radar. We implemented processing software both DSP and GPU, and compared computation performances and power consumption. As a result, computation performance was enhanced from 1.2 to 4.1 times compared with a DSP result. From the results, GPU can alternating DSP based signal processor for common radar processor even though Naval Multi Function Radar.

This paper addresses the problem of combining adaptive polarization processing and space-time processing for further performance improvement of radar target detection in clutter and Jammer environments. Since the most straightforward cascade combinations have quite limited performance improvement potentials, we focus on the development of adaptive processing in the joint polarization-space-time domain. Unlike a direct extension of some existing space-time processing algorithms to the joint domain, the processing algorithm developed in this paper does not need a potentially costly polarization filter bank to cover the unknown target polarization parameter. The performance of the new algorithm is derived and evaluated in terms of the probability of detection and the probability of false alarm, and it is compared with other algorithms that do not utilize the polarization information or assume that the target polarization is known.

This letter presents the signal processing of a CW radar (Continuous Wave or Doppler radar) sensor which enables the radar to detect the multiple targets' approaching and retreating using both I and Q channels. The proposed algorithm utilizes the phase change of the Quadrature signal, which occurs when targets move back and forth from the radar. The verification is carried out with the board containing a commercially available MMIC chip and an MCU by analyzing the received data from MMIC. Also the proposed algorithm is downloaded to MCU and the approaching and retreating movement is confirmed. The CW frequency is 24.125 GHz and the transmitter output power used is 7.2 dBm. Detectable distance is about 12 m.

Existing radars have been developed by applying RF sub-array algorithms, and recently, fully digital Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) radar algorithms have been implemented for vehicle radars. In this paper, the radar algorithm applying the Phased MIMO method to the hardware of the RF sub-array method, which is an unsecured technology, was implemented and verified in real time. In order to secure RF sub-array Phased MIMO algorithm technology, a hardware structure for FPGA-based real-time signal processing was presented, and performance was first predicted through design and simulation. Through this, the digital signal of FPGA-based broadband MIMO FMCW radar The processing hardware was developed, and the Phased MIMO radar algorithm of the RF sub-Array method was finally implemented and verified in real time. Based on this, it is judged that it will be possible to secure and apply core technologies necessary for terahertz band radar in the future.

In this thesis, a Synthetic Aperture Rarar Processor that is possible real-time handling is implemented using CW(Continuose Wave) laser as a light source, CCD(charge Coupled Device) as a time integrator, and AOD(Acousto-Optic Device) as the space integrator. One of the advantages of the proposed system is that it does not require driving circuits of the light source. To implement the system, the linear frequency modulation(chirp) technique has been used for radar signal. The received data for the unit target was processed using 7.80 board and accompanying electronic circuits. In order to reduce the smear effect of the focused chirp signal which occurs Bragg diffrection angle of the AOD has been utilized to make sharp pulses of the laser source, and the pulse made synchronized with the chirp signal. Experiment and analysis results of the data and images detected from CCD of the proposed SAR system demonstrated that detection effect is degrated as the unit target distance increases, and the resolving power is improved as the bandwidth of the chirp signal increases. Also, as the pulse width of the light source decreases, the smear effect has been reduced. The experimental results assured that the proposed system in this papre can be used as a real time SAR processor.

This paper describes some major schemes for developing timing signal generator which can be used for testing of 3D radars. The developed generator has a function not only to simulate information on elevation angle for the simulated target signals but also to generate a modulated signal up to 80MHz. Because this generator has an internal modulating function instead of an external modulating function and has sufficient memory enough to change the parameters according to operating programs, it realization of various test-environments for testing a radar can be made with easy and with low expense.
