In this paper, a 2-dimensional phase comparison direction finding receiver was designed and fabricated. For 2-D comparison direction finding, direction finding formulas were derived from a uniformly arranged of four antennas. Based on this, a direction finding receiver was designed using Matlab simulink, and the direction finding receiver was fabricated. To analyze the performance of the designed direction finding receiver, the injection direction finding accuracy and simulation results were compared. As a result of the test, the fabricated direction finding receiver showed a maximum of 3° RMS precision, and the result of both tests showed similar trends. Also, it was confirmed that the direction finding accuracy of elevation angle is about 2.7 times better than azimuth angle, and both models performed well within 0.7° RMS at the boresight.

Recently, Direction Finding(DF) System is using switching DF algorithm to reduce system-weight by eliminating RF cable as much as possible. Also, Correlation Vector Direction Finding(CVDF) algorithms is being used for Fast Direction finding in tactical environment. In this paper, I will give you burst error elimination algorithms and compare the performance in case we use switching CVDF algorithm. Although antenna array is not working, we will successfully perform direction finding when we use this burst error elimination algorithms. Also, we will be completely capable of DF mission despite of meeting the unwanted situation that the monitoring signal disappear in case we use Switching Direction Finding algorithms. That situation frequently occurs under the Frequency Hopping signal circumstances.

The helicopter position, heading data and the direction finding data of ESM are essentially required to compensate the parallax and analyze the direction finding accuracy of heliborne ESM in flight test phase. In the case of the long test range compared with small platform like as LYNX helicopter and Jisim Island test site, the parallax compensation for direction finding accuracy calculation and GPS position error can be neglected. In this paper, the direction finding accuracy on the basis of helicopter propeller was calculated by coordinate changing between helicopter and transmitting antenna from WGS84 coordinate to navigation coordinate using helicopter position and direction finding data.

A direction finding system test-bed(DFSTB) at the electronic warfare communication-band is presented to efficiently evaluate and optimize the performance of the direction finding system through the indoor test setup. This test-bed gives a significant benefit to the designers of the direction finding system because it allows flexible test and design trade-off in the system design cycle. The system description and implementation of test-bed architecture, and the experiment results of direction finding accuracy according to modulation schemes are presented.

In this paper, we have proposed a novel method which can analysis the direction finding ambiguity analysis for array geometry in 3 channel and 4 channel multiple baseline direction finding system. Generally, the direction finding ambiguity in the 3 element and 4 element phase interferometer direction finding system is calculated by the simulation for the array spacing or by the probability with the selected antenna array spacing. There are some restrictions to obtain the ambiguity of direction finding system in these methods. The former performs a simulation with every antenna array spacing and the latter calculates the ambiguity with the selected antenna array spacing. To overcome those restrictions, This paper proposed the novel method to calculate the ambiguity using the imaginary antenna array spacing and the phase difference prior to the modular operation in direction finder. Using the proposed method, we obtain the ambiguity probability for each of array geometry composed of multiple baseline. After performing the simulation with the selected antenna array spacing to verify the proposed method, we compared the calculated result data with the simulation data.

신호를 송출하는 신호원의 방향을 추정하기 위하여 다수개의 안테나를 이용하는 방향 탐지 장치는 조난자를 구출하거나 규정된 송신원의 위치를 파악하기 위하여 사용된다. 방향 탐지를 수행할 때에는 방향 탐지 장치와 다수개의 안테나를 탑재한 시스템의 외형과 재질에 따라서 반사파가 존재하고 신호의 왜곡이 발생된다. 따라서 신호원의 방위각을 정확하게 추정하기 위해서는 방향 탐지 장치 개발 간에 안테나 배치와 시스템 외형에 따른 영향성을 반영하기 위한 보정을 수행해야만 한다. 본 논문에서는 항공 시스템을 이용한 통신신호 방향 탐지 장치 개발을 위하여 수행되는 비행 보정기법을 설명하고, 비행 보정을 통하여 얻게 된 위상 보정 데이터를 적용할 경우의 방향 탐지 성능을 분석한다.

본 논문에서는 항공기에서 사용되는 방향 탐지용 안테나가 항공기에 장착 될 경우, 항공기 구조, 회절과 반사에 의한 안테나 성능 변화를 분석하였다. 방향 탐지용 안테나는 항공기 전자전 체계(Electronic Warfare System)의 방향 탐지(DF : Direction Finding) 장치에서 레이더 위협 신호를 수신하는 안테나이다. 최근 항공기에 다양한 안테나가 장착되므로 탑재된 안테나 성능 해석 및 안테나 간섭 분석 등의 다양한 해석이 요구되고 있다. 본문에서는 모사된 항공기에 50% 대역폭을 가지는 광대역 방향 탐지용 안테나를 장착하여 전자파 해석을 진행하였고, 안테나의 단일 성능과 항공기에 탑재된 성능을 비교하여 방향 탐지 성능을 분석하였다. 분석된 방향 탐지 정확도는 $6.47^{\circ}$ RMS를 가지며 항공기 방향 탐지용 안테나로 적합함을 예측하였다.

A fast correlative vector direction finding(CVDF) system using active dipole antenna array for mobile direction finding(DF) applications is presented. To develop the CVDF system, the main elements such as active dipole antenna, multi-channel direction finder, and search receiver are designed and analyzed. The active antenna is designed as composite structure to improve the filed strength sensitivity over the wide frequency range, and the multi-channel direction finder and search receiver are designed using DDS-based PLL with settling time of below 35 us to achieve short signal processing time. This system provides the capabilities of the high DF sensitivity over the wide frequency range and allows for high probability of intercept and accurate angle of arrival(AOA) estimation for agile signals. The design and performance analysis according to the external noise and modulation schemes of the CVDF system with five-element circular array are presented in detail.

This paper describes the fundamentals, design, realization and test results of a BPSK(Bi Phase Shift Keying) transceiver for the direction finding proximity fuze sensor for anti-aircrafts or air missiles. The BPSK transceiver for the direction finding fuze sensor has been designed to detect a moving target by Doppler signal processing with the code correlation method and to distinguish direction by comparing received powers of each Doppler signal from adjacent three receiving antennas. The electrical and ESS(Environmental Stress Screening) tests of the BPSK transceiver showed satisfactory results and target detection and direction finding performances proved to be successful through dynamic operation tests by 155 mm gun firing.

본 논문은 빠르게 확대되고 있는 산업으로 각광 받고 있는 드론을 활용하여 특정 신호를 발생하는 목표물의 위치를 추정하고자 Apollonius Circle 기법을 활용하였다. 기존의 방향탐지 방법은 지상에서 차량을 통해 실시하거나 높은 위치에 안테나를 설치하여 목표물의 위치를 탐지했지만 기존의 방향탐지 방법은 LOS 신호 수신 환경을 구성하기 어렵고 또한 장비의 무게와 크기 때문에 이동 측정이 어렵다. 그러나 드론을 활용한 방향탐지는 높은 고도에서 비행하는 드론을 이용해 LOS 신호 수신 환경을 구성 및 이동 측정이 쉽다. 본 연구에서는 지상 방향탐지의 측정데이터를 이용하여 드론의 신호 수신환경을 3차원 800MHz Path-Loss Model를 활용하여 신호를 재구성하여 드론 수신 Power로 재구성하였으며 목표물의 위치를 추정하고자Apollonius Circle 기법을 활용하여 목표물의 위치를 추정하는 시뮬레이션을 구성하였다. 시뮬레이션은 지상 방향탐지와 드론 방향탐지를 구성하여 목표물의 위치추정 성능을 분석하였다.
