As the radar mounted on a moving platform moves and rotates, the state of the radar's coordinate system also changes. At this time, in order to track target, the target's coordinates should be converted using the platform state measured from the sensor, and tracking performance may deteriorate due to causes such as sensor noise, communication delay, and sensor update cycle. In this paper, to minimize the degradation of tracking performance because of sensor error, we designed a navigation filter to estimate the state of the moving platform and analyzed the effect of improving tracking performance by applying the navigation filter through a simulation test. To design this navigation filter, three filter algorithms were applied and analyzed to confirm the effect of improving platform position and attitude performance for each filter, and the navigation filter designed by applying the highest performance filter algorithm was applied to a tracking simulation test. Finally we confirmed Improvement in tracking performance before and after applying navigation filters.

An adaptive ${\alpha}-{\beta}$ tracker is proposed for tracking maneuvering targets with a track-while-scan radar system. The tracker gain is updated on-line corresponding to the adjusted process noise variance which is obtained via time averaging of the process over a sliding window. The adjusted process noise variance is used to compute the maneuverability index for the tracker gain based on the steady-state Kalman filter equation for each epoch. It is shown via simulation that the proposed approach provides robust and accurate position estimates during the target maneuver while the performance of the conventional ${\alpha}-{\beta}$ tracker is shown much degraded.

In this paper, we have proposed an improved fusion method of detection features which can enhance the detection probability under the given false alarm rate in the prescreening stage of SAR ATR(Synthetic Aperture Radar Automatic Target Recognition) system. Since the detection features have the positive correlation, the detection performance can be improved if the joint probability distribution of detection features is considered in the fusion process. The detection region is designed as a simple piecewise linear function which can be represented by few parameters. The parameters for the detection region can be derived by training the sample SAR images to maximize the detection probability with the given false alarm rate. Simulation result shows that the detection performance of the proposed method is improved for all combinations of detection features.

In recent years, as frequency and intensity of severe weather disasters such as flash flood have been increasing, providing accurate and prompt information to the public is very important and needs of user-friendly monitoring/warning system are growing. This paper introduces a method that re-produces radar observations as multimedia contents and applies reproduced data to mesh-up services. In addition, a accurate GIS matching technique to help to track the exact location going on serious atmospheric phenomena is presented. The proposed method create multimedia contents having structures such as two dimensional images, vector graphics or three dimensional volume data by re-producing various radar variables obtained from a weather radar. After then, the multimedia formatted weather radar data are matched with various detailed raster or vector GIS map platform. Results of simulation test with various scenarios indicate that the display system based on the proposed method can support for users to figure out easily and intuitively routes and degrees of risk of severe weather. We expect that this technique can also help for emergency manager to interpret radar observations properly and to forecast meteorological disasters more effectively.

Adaptive beamforming algorithms have been widely used to remove interference and jamming in the phased array radar system. Advances in the field programmable gate array(FPGA) technology now make possible the real time processing of adaptive beamforming (ABF) algorithm. In this paper, the FPGA based real-time implementation method of adaptive beamforming system(beamformer) in the pre-processor module for active electronically scanned array(AESA) radar is proposed. A compact FPGA-based adaptive beamformer is developed using commercial off the shelf(COTS) FPGA board with communication via OpenVPX(Virtual Path Cross-connect) backplane. This beamformer comprises a number of high speed complex processing including QR decomposition & back substitution for matrix inversion and complex vector/matrix calculations. The implemented result shows that the adaptive beamforming patterns through FPGA correspond with results of simulation through Matlab. And also confirms the possibility of application in AESA radar due to the real time processing of ABF algorithm through FPGA.

This study describes the technique of the beam pattern measurement of array antenna for VHF band radar using drone and active beam pattern measuring device. There is no anechoic chamber for measuring the beam pattern of a large size antenna in the country. In this study, to test the antenna beam pattern characteristics of the developed VHF band radar, the antenna beam pattern characteristics were tested by Drone mounting an Active Beam Pattern Measuring Device. By comparing the results of the pre-simulation analysis with the measured results for the antenna, we could confirm that the beamwidth and side-lobe characteristics are satisfactory. Through the antenna beam pattern measurement technology using Drone and Active Beam Pattern Measuring Device, the beam pattern measurement technology of array antenna of low frequency band and large antenna for low band radar will be used.

Research for the inverse estimation of RF threats and the efficient electronic attack based on the parameters of the electronic information has been active in the electronic warfare (EW) situations. In this paper, an EW transmission simulator is constructed from the modeling of radar threats, EW receivers, and propagation environments with the collected electronic information in order to verify the performance of the inverse estimation algorithm in various and practical EW situations. In simulation results, we show that the range tracking error and angle tracking error are produced within ten meters and one degree, respectively. And also, we show that the changing relations between the angle tracking error and the parameters of the monopulse angle tracking radar such as the beamwidth and squint angle in simulation results correspond with those in the theoretical modeling. Accordingly, the constructed EW simulator can be used to observe the modifying characteristics of the electronic information in transmission environments, and then, to evaluate the performance of the inverse estimation system in various EW situations.

In this paper, system optimization design technique of an impulse ground penetrating image radar (GPIR) in time domain is proposed to improve depth resolution of the system. For the purpose, time domain analysis method of key components such as impulse generator and UWB antenna is explained and by simulation, parameters of each component are determined. In particular, by standardizing the impulse signal, spectrum efficiency of a radiated impulse signal is improved and a U-shaped planar dipole antenna for a UWB antenna is developed. By equipping a parabolic metal reflector with the proposed antenna, external noise is prevented and the ability of radiating an input impulse into ground is improved. In addition, to remove ringing effect of the propose antenna which causes serious degradation of the system performance, resistors are loaded at the edge of the antenna and then Tx and Rx UWB antennas are optimized by simulation in time domain. For images of targets buried under the ground migration technique is applied and influence of tough ground surface on distortion of received impulse signals is reduced using technique of noise and signal distortion reduction in time domain and its time resolution is enhanced. To verify the design optimization procedure, a prototype of an GPIR and an artificial test field are made. Measurement results show that the resolution of the system designed is as good as that of a theoretical model.

This paper proposes automatic precision approach radar (PAR) control system using digital signal to increase the safety of aircraft, and discrete event systems specification (DEVS) methodology is utilized to verify the proposed system. Traditionally, a landing aircraft is controlled by the human voice of a final approach controller. However, the voice information can be missed during transmission, and pilots may also act improperly because of incorrectness of auditory signals. The proposed system enables the stable operation of the aircraft, regardless of the pilot's capability. Communicating DEVS (C-DEVS) is used to analyze and verify the behavior of the proposed system. A composed C-DEVS atomic model has overall composed discrete state sets of models, and the state sequence acquired through full state search is utilized to verify the safeness and the liveness of a system behavior. The C-DEVS model of the proposed system shows the same behavior with the traditional PAR control system.
