This paper concerns methods for ${\mu}$-wave imaging. The image reconstruction of an object by range-doppler preceding using the X-Band Linear-FM signal is presented from tile simulated data. The high degree of range resolution is achived using large signal band width and cross-range resolution is obtained by doppler processing.

When the micro-Doppler (MD) image of a ballistic missile is derived, the translational motion compensation (TMC) method is usually applied to the inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) image, but yields poor results because of the micro-motion of the ballistic missile. This paper proposes an efficient TMC method to obtain a focused MD image of a ballistic missile engaged in complicated micro-motion. During range alignment, range profiles (RPs) are coarsely aligned by using the 1D entropy cost function of RPs as a mark, then the coarsely-aligned RPs are fine-aligned by using the minimum 2D entropy of the MD image. During phase adjustment, the gradient of the phase error is appropriately weighted and added to the previous phase error to further fine-tune the aligned RPs. In simulations using the point scatterer model and the measured data from the real missile model, the proposed method provided better image focus than the existing method.

This paper describes a mathematical model and its utilization algorithm for calculating the accurate target position on the ellipsoidal earth surface which corresponds to a range-azimuth coordinates of unprocessed synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. A geometrical model which is a set of coordinate transformations is described. The side-looking directional angle (off-nadir angle) is determined in an iterative fashion by using the model and the accurate slant range which is calculated from the range sampling timing of the instrument. The algorithm can be applied not only for the geolocation of SAR images but also for the high quality SAR image generation by calculating accurate Doppler parameters.

A new laser diode range-finding speedometer is proposed, which is modulated by a pair of positive and negative triangular pulse current superimposed on a dc current. Since a target velocity is directly obtained form a pure Doppler beat frequency measured during the non-modulation period, the new sensor is free from the difficulties due to the critical velocity encountered in the previous sensor. Furthermore, the different amplitude of the two triangular pluses are so adjusted that the measurable range using only one laser head is greatly expanded to 10cm through 150cm, which is about two times that of the previous sensor. The measurement accuracy for velocity of .+-.6mm/s through .+-.20mm/s and for range is about 1%, and 2%, respectively. Because the new sensor can be operated automatically using a microcomputer, it will be useful for application of a 3-D range image measurement of a slowly moving object.

Clouds play an important role in climate change, in the prediction of local weather, and also in aviation safety when instrument assisted flying is unavailable. Presently, various ground-based instruments used for the measurements of the cloud base height or velocity. Lidar techniques are powerful and have many applications in climate studies, including the clouds' temperature measurement, the aerosol particle properties, etc. Otherwise, it is very circumscribed in cloud velocity measurements because there is no Doppler effect if the clouds move in the perpendicular direction to the laser beam path of Doppler lidar. In this paper, we present a method for the measurement of cloud velocity using lidar's range detection and DIC (Digital Image Correlation) system to overcome the disadvantage of Doppler lidar. The lidar system acquires the distance to the cloud, and the cloud images are tracked using the developed fast correlation algorithm of DIC. We acquired the velocities of clouds using the calculated distance and DIC algorithm. The measurement values had a linear distribution.

Stripmap-mode 합성개구레이더의 고전적인 영상 복원기술은 Range-Doppler 알고리즘이다. 하지만 고해상도 Spotlight-mode 합성개구레이더 시스템에서는 Range-Doppler 알고리즘을 적용했을 때 성능이 상당히 나빠지므로 Spotlight-mode에 맞는 별도의 Inversion 알고리즘이 연구되어왔다. 본 논문에서는 Spotlight-mode 합성개구레이더에서 Raw-data를 처리하기 위한 알고리즘 연구를 통해 기존의 평면파 근사 방법을 이용하고 있는 Polar format 알고리즘과 근사 방법을 사용하지 않는 Wavefront Reconstruction 기법에 대한 성능분석을 시도하였다. 이 때 Source 신호의 Carrier 주파수, 합성 개구면 Size, 그리고 표적물의 위치에 따라 두 Inversion기법의 결과 영상을 비교함으로써 Wavefront Reconstruction 기법의 우수성을 입증하였다. Spotlight-mode 합성 개구 레이더 시스템을 시뮬레이션하여 Raw-data를 생성시키고 각 알고리즘에 적용하여 역변환을 통해 영상화된 표적물의 형태로 성능을 비교 분석하였다.

In this paper, we implemented an Ultra-Wideband radar system using Stripmap Synthetic Apertrure Radar algorithm to recognize objects inside a box. Different window functions such as Hanning, Hamming, Kaiser, and Taylor functions to improve image recognition performance are applied and implemented to radar system. The Ultra-Wideband radar system with 3.1~4.8 GHz broadband and UWB antenna were implemented to recognize the conductor plate located inside 1m3 box. To obtain the image, we use the propagation data in the time domain according to the 1m movement distance and use the Range Doppler algorithm. The effect of different window functions to improve the recognition performance of the image are analyzed. From the compared results, we confirmed that the Kaiser window function can obtain a relatively good image.

We present an efficient and robust technique to estimate the velocity of moving targets from a single SAR image. In SAR images, azimuth image shift is a well known phenomenon, which is observed in moving targets having slant-range velocity. Most methods estimated the velocity of moving targets from the distance difference between the road and moving targets or between ship and the ship wake. However, the methods could not be always applied to moving targets because it is difficult to find the road and the ship wake. We adopted a method estimating the velocity of moving targets from azimuth differentials of range-compressed image. This method is based on an assumption that Doppler center frequency shift of moving target causes a phase difference in azimuth differential values. The phase difference is linearly distorted by Doppler rate due to the geometry of SAR image. The linear distortion is eliminated from phase removal procedure, and the constant phase difference is estimated. Finally, range velocity estimates for moving targets are retrieved. This technique is tested using an ENVISAT ASAR image in which several unknown ships are presented. The theoretical accuracy of this technique is discussed by SAR simulation. The advantages and disadvantages of this method over the conventional method are also discussed.

SAR(Synthetic Aperture Radar) 영상과 수치지형표고모형(DEM: Digital Elevation Model)을 이용하여 3차원 입체영상지도를 만드는 과정이 소개된다. 영상좌표와 DEM의 지리적 좌표 계를 이어주기 위해서는 그 연결고리로써 위성의 궤도결정과 자세결정의 방법을 이용하여 영상신호 취득 기하를 정밀하게 모형 화하는 작업이 요구된다. 이를 위해 사례연구 대상으로 삼은 RADARSAT의 궤도결정과 자세결정을 수행하였다. 궤도결정을 위해서는 영상신호 취득 시 관측된 영도 플러(zero Doppler) 경사거리를 이용하며, 자세결정을 위해서는 도플러 중심주파수(Doppler centriod)를 이용한다. 엄밀한 영상신호 취득기하를 확립함으로써 위성중심의 정밀한 영상 자리 매김 과정이 소개된다. 기존의 영상자리 매김이 순방향(영상좌표 계에서 지리적 좌표 계)으로 이루어진 것과는 반대로 영상 내에 지형 보정을 동시에 실시하기 위해서 DEM을 이용하여 역 방향(지리적 좌표 계에서 영상좌표 계)으로 수행하였다. 위성과 지상목표물간의 운동은 지구중심 관성좌표 계에서 기술된다.
