  • The DOA(Direction Of Arrival) estimation to select a best beam for receiving a particular signal in switched beam antenna systems, and to shape the optimal beam in adaptive array antenna systems, is typically performed under the assumption that the target user motion is almost negligible. In this paper, we model the user as the time-varying source and adopt the LPA(Local Polynomial Approximation) tracking algorithm, proposed by Katkovnik, to solve the time-varying DOA estimation problem. Then, we compare the power spectrum functions between the LPA beamformer and the conventional beamformer, also, the normalized SNRs of each beamformer. The results show that the LPA beamformer is robuster than the conventional beamformer in tine-varying environments. In addition, in case of the conventional beamformer, more array elements give rise to more degradation in the aspect of SNR.

  • A new mathematical model to predict the beam pointing instability of a nonconservative two-body satellite system in spinning injection mode has been developed by using Newton-Euler and projection methods. Since the on-axis and null axis of the omni antenna with toroidal pattern beam form a right angle, wobbling of the antenna on-axis is measured by determining the Euler angles which represent the orientation of the satellite's spin axis. Because of the complexity of the system which is a time varying, nonstationary, nonlinear dynamical system, a numerical method is used for the analysis. Computer simulation results present the effects of the mass distribution and internal mass motion on the antenna beam pointing.

  • In this paper, the design, construction and basic characteristics of an electronically adaptive array antenna for the GPS receiver is described. The susceptibility of the GPS signals to the interference is of concern to the GPS user community. Because of the low received power of the GPS signals, outages can easily occur due to the unintentional interference and the easily obtainable low cost GPS jammer denying access to the GPS signals. We propose a technique of the adaptive array antenna that detects the GPS interference sources and controls the null beam pattern only toward the jamming sources to acquire GPS navigation data after acquisition and tracking of the GPS signals.

  • Wireless energy supply for an MAV propulsion system using microwave was developed. This system consists of three sub system; the transmitter system, the rectenna system, and the tracking system. In the transmitter system five horn antennas were used as the antenna elements for the phased array system and both the beam divergence and steering angle was about 9deg. Eight rectennas were arrayed in parallel to obtain enough power to drive the electric motor on the MAV(the voltage was 250mV and the current was 6.8mA) in rectenna system. In tracking system two units of antenna system with leaf pattern which received the linearly-polarized wave despite the MAV yaw angle were set in each axis(x, y) for tracking an MAV in a 2-Dimentional space. And three output voltages $V_{com},\;V_1$ and $V_2$ were loaded in the PC to detect if the distance between transmitter and receiver was not constant. Finally when the microwave beam was steered by the phased array system the output voltage from rectenna was measured at 62cm while the MAV circled around above the transmitter system.

  • 함정용 전자광학추적장비의 센서부에서 해수면반사파에 의해 발생하게 되는 영상추적간섭 현상을 최소화하고자 전방향성, 점진적인 굴절률 및 표면 요철구조를 갖는 산화아연에 플루오르화마그네슘을 코팅한 반사방지막을 전자빔 증착 장비를 통해 제작하였다. 최적화된 산화아연에 플루오르화마그네슘을 코팅한 반사방지막은 기존의 산화아연 반사방지막과 비교하여 점진적인 굴절률 변화에 따라 표면 프레넬 반사를 최소화하고 이를 통해 전자광학추적장비의 영상추적간섭 현상을 제거하는 장점이 있다. 본 실험을 통해, 산화아연에 플루오르화마그네슘을 코팅한 반사방지막이 다양한 전자광학장비의 반사방지막으로써 적용이 가능함을 확인하였다.

  • Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) has been developing the space optical and laser tracking (SOLT) system for space geodesy, space situational awareness, and Korean space missions. The SOLT system comprises satellite laser ranging (SLR), adaptive optics (AO), and debris laser tracking (DLT) systems, which share numerous subsystems, such as an optical telescope and tracking mount. It is designed to be capable of laser ranging up to geosynchronous Earth orbit satellites with a laser retro-reflector array, space objects imaging brighter than magnitude 10, and laser tracking low Earth orbit space debris of uncooperative targets. For the realization of multiple functions in a novel configuration, the SOLT system employs a switching mirror that is installed inside the telescope pedestal and feeds the beam path to each system. The SLR and AO systems have already been established at the Geochang station, whereas the DLT system is currently under development and the AO system is being prepared for testing. In this study, the design and development of the SOLT system are addressed and the SLR data quality is evaluated compared to the International Laser Ranging Service (ILRS) tracking stations in terms of single-shot ranging precision. The analysis results indicate that the SLR system has a good ranging performance, to a few millimeters precision. Therefore, it is expected that the SLR system will not only play an important role as a member of the ILRS tracking network, but also contribute to future Korean space missions.

  • 과거의 레이다는 임무 특성에 맞게 사격통제레이다, 탐지레이다, 추적레이다, 영상획득 레이다 등으로 구분되어 운영해왔다. 하지만 다기능 레이다는 표적 탐지, 추적, 피아식별, 재머 탐지 및 대응 등 단일 시스템 안에서 다양한 임무를 수행한다. 때문에 한정된 자원으로 다기능 레이다를 운용하기 위한 효율적인 자원관리는 필수적이다. 특히 탐지된 표적의 추적을 위한 표적 위협도와 이를 바탕으로 추적주기를 선정하는 방법은 중요한 이슈다. 위협표적을 집중으로 추적하다보면 다른 영역에서 탐지된 표적을 효율적으로 관리할 수 없고 탐지에 집중을 하면 추적성능이 저하될 수 있다. 때문에 효과적인 스케줄링이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 다기능 레이다 스케줄링 방안인 TaP(Time and Priority)알고리즘과 이를 구성하기 위한 소프트웨어적 설계 방법에 대해 제안한다.

  • The investigation to evaluate the possible effects of fish behaviour on acoustic target strength was carried out during the 1997 and 1998 hydroacoustic-demersal trawl surveys in the southern waters of Korea.The swimming speed and the target strength of individual, acoustically resolved fished swimming through the sound beam were measured using the split-beam tracking method on board R/V Kaya.The results obtained can be summarized as follows:1. The alongship and athwartship angles between -3dB poionts of a hull mounted 38 kHz split beam tranducer used in these surveys was >$3.76^{\circ}\;and\;6.74^{\circ}$ respectively, and the equal energy contour obtained from the measured beam pattern showed approximately the circular pattern. 2. The swimming speed measured off the south coast of Sorido in 23 January 1997 ranged 0.10 to 0.80 m/s with the average swimming spped of 0.36 m/s, and the target strength ranged -64.8 to -31.7 dB with the average target strength of -52.7 dB. The most dominant species sampled in this survey area were Japanese scaled sardine, Sardinella zunasi and Konoshiro gizzard shad, Konosirus punctatus, respectively.3. The swimming speed measured off the east coast of Kojedo in 24 March 1997 ranged 0.10 to 1.10 m/s with the average swimming speed of 0.40 m/s, and the target strength ranged -64.8 to -51.5 dB with the average target strength of -59.2 dB. The most dominant species sampled in this survey area were Swordtip squid, Photololigo edulis, Konoshiro gizzard shad and Japanese flying squid, Toddarodes pacificus, respectively and the swimming activity of these species seems to be controlled at speeds between 0.20 and 0.60 m/s. 4. The swimming speed measured the south coast of Kojedo in 25 March 1997 ranged 0.10 to 1.40 m/s with the average swimming speed of 0.51 m/s and the target strength ranged -64.3 to -47.7 dB with the average target strength of -55.1 dB. The most dominant species sampled in this survey area were Swordtip squid, Blotchy sillage, Sillago maculata and japanese scaled sardine, respectively and the swimming activity of these species seems to be controlled at speeds between 0.20 and 0.70 m/s.5. The swimming speed measured during morning twilight in the southeastern water of Cheju Island in 11 July 1998 ranged 0.20 to 1.0 m/s with the average swimming speed of 0.53 m/s, and the target strength ranged -65.0 to -47.0 dB with the average target strength of -57.1 dB. The most dominant species sampled in this survey area were Swordtip squid, Black scraper, Thamnaconus modesutus and japanese flying squid, respectively and the tile angle ranged$ +28^{\circ}\;to\;+2^{\circ}$ with the average tilt angle of -8.1$^{\circ}$ showing the downward migration.

  • 본 논문에서는 DBS 수신용 이동체 탑재형 시스템에 이용하기 위한 빔 틸트형 슬롯 어레이 복사 도파관 안테나의 특성을 기술하고 있다. 슬롯 도파관 어레이의 기초연구로써, 도파관 광벽면 위에 놓인 16 슬롯 소자에 대하여 설계를 행하였다. 빔 틸트 특성을 가지는 안테나의 슬롯 길이, 슬롯사이의 거리 그리고 크로스 슬롯의 사이각과 같은 설계 파라미터들은 모멘트법에 의해 계산되었다. 이들 결과를 근거로 16소자x16열의 복사 도파관 안테나를 설계·제작하였다. 제작된 안테나의 측정된 주 빔의 지향각은 48°∼50° 사이로 다소 측정 주파수에 의존했으며, 측정치는 설계치와 잘 일치하였다. 측정된 앙각 지향성의 3 dB 빔폭은 약 13° 정도였고, DBS 대역에서의 축비는 약 2.8 dB 이하, 이득은 24 dBi 이상으로 관측되었다. 제작한 도파관 평면 안테나의 성능을 평가하기 위하여, 안테나를 위성 추적 제어시스템과 결합하여 차량을 이용하여 고속도로에서 필드 성능 시험을 행하였다. 측정을 하는 동안, 차안에서 연속적인 TV 시청이 가능하였고 제안된 안테나의 우수한 성능이 입증되었다

  • 펄스 체이싱을 이용한 바이스태틱 레이더는 탐지 영역을 효과적으로 스캔하기 위해 수신 빔을 이용하여 송신 펄스를 추적함으로써 표적을 탐지한다. 수신 빔을 이용한 펄스 추적시 펄스-펄스간 빔 포인팅 오차에 의해 수신 펄스의 타이밍 오차와 신호 세기의 변화가 발생할 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 수신 빔 포인팅 오차에 의해 발생된 에러가 MTI 필터의 성능을 제한할 수 있음을 제안하였고, 바이스태틱 구조만의 고유한 특성인 기하학적 요소와 MTI 성능의 관계식을 유도하였다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 수신 빔 조향 오차에 의한 개선 성능 제한을 고찰하였고, 수신 빔의 조향 오차를 0.5도 이하로 유지함으로써 성능 개선에 기여할 수 있음을 확인하였다.
