본 논문에서는 디지털 고주파 기억 장치(DRFM: Digital RF Memory)의 스퓨리어스 신호 저감 방법에 대하여 제안하였다. 스퓨리어스 특성은 디지털 고주파 기억 장치의 성능을 결정짓는 주요 요소이다. 제안한 방법은 입력되는 IF 신호에 랜덤 위상값을 가지는 LO 신호를 혼합하여 샘플링하여 스퓨리어스 신호를 저감하였으며, 랜덤 위상을 가지는 LO 신호는 직접 디지털 합성기(DDS: Direct Digital Synthesizer)의 고속 위상 제어 특성을 이용하여 생성하였다. 제안한 방법을 적용하여 5~10 dB의 스퓨리어스 특성이 향상됨을 확인하였다.

A reflective array type surface acoustic wave(SAW) dispersive delay line(DDL) with high time-bandwidth at the V/UHF-band is designed and fabricated for compressive receiver applications. This type of the SAW DDL has the properties of the relative bandwidth of 20 %, the time delay of 49.89 usec, the insertion loss of 38.5 dB and the side lobe rejection of 39 dB. In comparison with a commercial SAW DDL, the insertion loss, amplitude ripple and side lobe rejection are improved by $1.5dB{\pm}0.6dB$ and 4 dB respectively. Using the fabricated SAW DDL, the prototype of the compressive receiver is developed. It is composed of RF converter, fast tunable LO, chirp LO, A/D converter, signal processing unit and control unit. This prototype system shows a fine frequency resolution of below 30 kHz with high scan rate.

An Estimation of VHF datalink range for EW(Electronic Warfare) equipment in the sea environment was studied to predict the datalink range between transmitting and receiving station. We consider refraction and reflection in addition to the basic radar equation. The reflection especially includes propagation factor in case of spherical earth as well as flat earth. The estimation result can predict the real datalink range within 5% error.

An Estimation of VHF data link range for EW(Electronic Warfare) equipment in the sea environment was studied to predict the data link range between transmitting and receiving station. The theoretical estimation predicts within 3% error with actual measurement of VHF data link range at sea. Data link range factors including refraction and reflection are added in the basic wave propagation equation. The effect of refraction and reflection to the range is analysed with quantity level.

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.

In electronic warfare(EW), low probability of intercept(LPI) radar signal is a survival technique. Accordingly, identification techniques of the LPI radar waveform have became significant recently. In this paper, classification and extracting parameters techniques for 7 intrapulse modulated radar signals are introduced. We propose a technique of classifying intrapulse modulated radar signals using Convolutional Neural Network(CNN). The time-frequency image(TFI) obtained from Choi-William Distribution(CWD) is used as the input of CNN without extracting the extra feature of each intrapulse modulated radar signals. In addition a method to extract the intrapulse radar modulation parameters using binary image processing is introduced. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed intrapulse radar waveform identification system. Simulation results show that the classification system achieves a overall correct classification success rate of 90 % or better at SNR = -6 dB and the parameter extraction system has an overall error of less than 10 % at SNR of less than -4 dB.

In this study, we propose an approach for the design and satisfy the requirements of the fabrication of a small, lightweight, reliable, and stable ultra-wideband receiver for millimeter-wave bands and the contents of the approach. In this paper, we designed and fabricated a stable receiver with having low noise figure, flat gain characteristics, and low noise characteristics, suitable for millimeter-wave bands. The method uses the chip-and-wire process for the assembly and operation of a bare MMIC device. In order to compensate for the mismatch between the components used in the receiver, an amplifier, mixer, multiplier, and filter suitable for wideband frequency characteristics were designed and applied to the receiver. To improve the low frequency and narrow bandwidth of existing products, mathematical modeling of the wideband receiver was performed and based on this spurious signals generated from complex local oscillation signals were designed so as not to affect the RF path. In the ultra-wideband receiver, the gain was between 22.2 dB and 28.5 dB at Band A (input frequency, 18-26 GHz) with a flatness of approximately 6.3 dB, while the gain was between 21.9 dB and 26.0 dB at Band B (input frequency, 26-40 GHz) with a flatness of approximately 4.1 dB. The measured value of the noise figure at Band A was 7.92 dB and the maximum value of noise figure, measured at Band B was 8.58 dB. The leakage signal of the local oscillator (LO) was -97.3 dBm and -90 dBm at the 33 GHz and 44 GHz path, respectively. Measurement was made at the 15 GHz IF output of band A (LO, 33 GHz) and the suppression characteristic obtained through the measurement was approximately 30 dBc.

In the environment where various and complicated threat signals exist, RWR (Radar Warning Receiver), which can warn pilot of the existence of threats, has long been a necessary electronic warfare (EW) system to improve survivability of aircraft. The angle of arrival (AOA) information, the most reliable sorting parameter in the RWR, is measured by means of four-quadrant amplitude comparison direction finding (DF) technique. Each of four antennas (usually spiral antenna) of DF unit covers one of four quadrant zones, with 90 degrees apart with nearby antenna. According to the location of antenna installed in helicopter, RWR is subject to signal loss and interference by helicopter body and structures including tail bumper, rotor blade, and so on, causing a difficulty of detecting hostile emitters. In this paper, the performance degradation caused by signal interference by tail rotor blades has been estimated by measuring amplitude video signals into which RWR converts RF signals in case a part of antenna is screened by real tail rotor blade in anechoic chamber. The results show that corruption of pulse amplitude (PA) is main cause of DF error. We have proposed two algorithms for resolving the interference by tail rotor blades as below: First, expand the AOA group range for pulse grouping at the first signal analysis phase. Second, merge each of pulse trains with the other, that signal parameter except PRI and AOA is similar, after the first signal analysis phase. The presented method makes it possible to use RWR by reducing interference caused by blade screening in case antenna is screened by tail rotor blades.
