The variation of atmospheric conditions including subrefraction, normal refraction, superrefraction, and ducting is an important factor that affects the quality of radar data by controling the propagation of radar beams. The occurrence frequency of the conditions is statistically analyzed using the atmospheric soundings from seven radiosonde stations in South Korea over two years. The occurrence of superrefraction and ducting at Baengnyeongdo is significantly higher than the others. Osan and Kwangju show significant variation in time. Among the different duct conditions, the surface duct is dominant at most stations except for Gosan. The elevated duct is dominant at Heuksando and Gosan. Duct is more frequent in summer than in winter at all stations. Baengnyeongdo shows the most frequent duct in spring, fall, and winter while Pohang had the highest frequency in summer. Osan and Kwangju show least duct during all seasons. The difference of variation of monthly duct occurrence between 00 UTC and 12 UTC is insignificant at all stations except for Osan and Kwangju. Kwangju, Heuksando and Gosan show relatively low frequency of duct with the monthly maximum barely reaching 60%. The highest number of elevation angles that are affected by duct was four at Osungsan radar (KSN). The maximum elevation angle is around $1.0^{\circ}$ at all stations and Jindo radar (JNI) shows the maximum value of $1.2^{\circ}$.

Super-refraction of radar beams tends to occur primarily under a particular vertical structure of temperature and water vapor pressure profiles. A quality control process for the removal of anomalous propagation (AP) ehcoes are required because APs are easily misidentified as precipitation echoes. For this purpose, we collected X-band polarimetric radar parameters (differential reflectivity, cross-correlation coefficient, and differential phase) only including non-precipitation echoes (super-refraction and clear-sky ground echoes) and precipitation echoes, and compared the echo types regarding the relationships among radar reflectivities, polarimetric parameters, and the membership functions. We developed a removal algorithm for the non-precipitation echoes using the texture approach for the polarimetric parameters. The presented algorithm is qualitatively validated using the S-band Jindo radar in Jeollanam-do. Our algorithm shows the successful identification and removal of AP echoes.

During the test operation period of the wind profiler prototype, radio frequency interference (RFI) contamination occurred in the spectrum. The reference of the RFI that removed the algorithm appearing in the wind profiler spectrum were investigated, and a new algorithm was developed to remove the RFI. First, it was filtered with a threshold value of 0.1 m/s of the spectral width, and the range of the number of gates with the same radial velocity was determined according to whether the beam was a vertical beam or an oblique beam. RFI contamination was removed through filtering and scanning of non-weather signals, and the continuity of wind vectors calculated from the improved spectral radial velocity was verified.

안테나, 전파전파에 관한 학회에서의 발표논문중 전체의 약 반수가 안테나에 직접 관계한 것이며 약 1/4이 전파전파에 관한 연구이고 나머지 약 1/4은 산란, 회절, 잡음, 기초이론, 수치계산이론등에 관한 것 및 전파응용에 관한 것으로 되고 있다. 또 안테나에 대한 연구논문중 가장 많은 것이 phased array 안테나에 관한 것으로서 대형레이더, 항공기용 레이다 등에의 응용 기타 다목적의 빔 안테나에 이용될 것을 전제로 연구되고 있다. 많은 안테나 소자를 어떻게 배열하여서 어떠한 진폭과 위상으로 급전하면 최량의 지항성 또는 바라는 지향성이 얻어지며 또 그 오차는 얼마가 되는가 등이 연구의 중심과제가 되고 있다. 참고로 1974년 미국 조지아 공과대학에서 개최된 안테나 전파국제학술회의에서 발표된 제목들을 알아보면 표1과 같으며 phased array 안테나가 기초적 검토 단계를 지나 실용화단계에 접어든 것을 직감할 수 있다.

The aim of this paper is to find the weather conditions which make the abnormal propagation of a radar bear In order to analyze the weather conditions which cause superrefraction or ducting, the meteorological data of the west sea and the south sea of Korea are classified which are observed during three years from 2000. Atmospheric indexes of refraction with increasing altitude are calculated and the rate of variation of temperature and hmidity at the altitude where the index is very low are observed. It is found that unwanted radar echoes by anomalous propagation are showed up only when the atmospheric indexes of refraction at a altitude is less than -150/km and the reverse layer of temperature appears with a sudden drop of humidity at the altitude.

본 논문은 전파의 다중경로에 의한 추적레이더의 추적 오차에 대한 분석과 모사 알고리즘 개발에 관한 것이다. 일반적으로 알려진 저고도 추적 레이더의 연구내용을 분석 하였고 이를 바탕으로 Matlab을 이용한 추적오차 계산용 수치해석 프로그램을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 고도 오차의 요인들을 분석하고 안테나 빔 폭, 확산계수, 지면의 반사계수 등을 고려한 오차 계산방법을 제시 하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과들이 이론적인 예측 결과와 잘 일치함을 볼 수 있다.

In this development, By using the phase array antenna, the beam around was electronically revolved and the marine fixed type radar of which the detection is possible was made and the check around was tested. There are the risk of the corrosion because of the abrasion of the axis of rotation and salinity with the way that the existing marine pulse radar detects the check by using the mechanical rotation. Besides, the maintenance cost of the magnetron gets to happen by using the detection signal. In this development, The fixed type radar of the low output which revolves electronically around the beam by using the radar signal processing method of the phase array antenna using the phase shifter and FMCW(Frequency Modulation Continuous Wave) method was made. And by using the fixed type radar, the check detection test was conducted.

A study of miniaturization of an L-band orthomode transducer(OMT) for field experiments of radar backscatter is presented in this paper. The proposed OMT is not required the additional waveguide taper structures to connect with a standard adaptor by the newly designed junction structure which bases on a waveguide taper. Total length of the OMT for L-band is about 1.2 ${\lambda}_o$(310 mm) and it's a size of 60 % of the existing OMTs. And, to increase the matching and isolation performances of each polarization, two conducting posts are inserted. The bandwidth of 420 MHz and the isolation level of about 40 dB are measured in the operating frequency. The L-band scatterometer consisting of the manufactured OMT, a horn-antenna and network analyzer(Agilent 8753E) was used STCT and 2DTST to analysis the measurement accuracy of radar backscatter. The full-polarimetric RCSs of test-target, 55 cm trihedral corner reflector, measured by the calibrated scatterometer have errors of -0.2 dB and 0.25 dB for vv-/hh-polarization, respectively. The effective isolation level is about 35.8 dB in the operating frequency. Then, the horn-antenna used to measure has the length of 300 mm, the aperture size of $450{\times}450\;mm^2$, and HPBWs of $29.5^{\circ}$ and $36.5^{\circ}$ on the principle E-/H-planes.
