In this paper, the radar altimeter for topographic mapping over land is introduced and the characteristics of the return signals are analyzed. The radar system is described briefly and the requirements to get the fine resolution of the terrain surface height are considered. The designed radar altimeter was tested on the landscape in the near of Stuttgart. The measured data shows very fine profile of the test landscape and the height errors induced from different geometrical structure of the land surface are acquired in the measurement. In the test area, most characteristics of radar return signals over land could be tested and the results of the topographic mapping using our radar altimeter can be used for future radar altimeter development for land applications.

A radar altimeter which measures the distance using radio wave developed by domestic technology has been applied to various missiles. It is used also for calculating the error of integrated navigation technique. There are a couple of methods to reduce the error but in this paper, we proposed to utilize existing C-band radar altimeter main body with frequency conversion. We designed and manufactured the frequency converter and Ku-band antenna to accomplish this goal. From the test results of products' function and performance, we could expect the possibility of applying this method to enhance the missiles' integrated performance.

With the advance of radar technologies, the availability of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images increases. To improve application of SAR images, a management system for SAR images is proposed in this paper. The system provides trainable land cover classification module and display of SAR images on the map. Users of the system can create their own classifier with their data, and obtain the classified results of newly captured SAR images by applying the classifier to the images. The classifier is based on convolutional neural network structure. Since there are differences among SAR images depending on capturing method and devices, a fixed classifier cannot cover all types of SAR land cover classification problems. Thus, it is adopted to create each user's classifier. In our experiments, it is shown that the module works well with two different SAR datasets. With this system, SAR data and land cover classification results are managed and easily displayed.

Recently many studies of Radar systems mounted on ground vehicles for autonomous driving, SLAM (Simultaneous localization and mapping) and collision avoidance are reported. In near field, several hits per an object are generated after signal processing of Radar data. Hence, clustering is an essential technique to estimate their shapes and positions precisely. This paper proposes a method of grouping hits in range-doppler domains into clusters which represent each object, according to the pre-defined rules. The rules are based on the perceptual cues to separate hits by object. The morphological connectedness between hits and the characteristics of SNR distribution of hits are adopted as the perceptual cues for clustering. In various simulations for the performance assessment, the proposed method yielded more effective performance than other techniques.

본 논문은 선형 주파수 변조-주파수 편이(Linear Frequency Modulation-Frequency Shift Keying: LFM-FSK) 신호와 위상비교 모노펄스 방식을 사용하는 후방 감시 차량용 레이다의 ISAR(Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar) 영상 형성 기법에 관하여 제시한다. 두 개의 계단 주파수(stepped frequency) 신호를 순차적으로 연결한 LFM-FSK 신호를 이용하여 후방 관측을 통해 차량에 대한 ISAR 영상을 형성할 수 있다. 그러나 운전자 후방에 위치한 차량을 관측하여 ISAR 영상을 형성할 경우, 레이다 관측 각도(radar's aspect angle)의 변화율이 일정하지 않기 때문에 ISAR 영상이 흐려진다. 이를 해결하기 위해 위상비교 모노펄스 방식으로 추정한 각도 정보와 각도-주파수 영역(domain)에서의 레이다 수신데이터를 사용하여 각 주파수에서 각도별로 1차원 라그랑주 보간법(Lagrange interpolation)을 수행한다. 이를 통해 관측 각도 변화율이 일정한 각도-주파수 데이터를 획득할 수 있다. 시뮬레이션 결과는 제시된 기법을 적용하여 초점이 맞는 ISAR 영상이 형성됨을 보여준다.

In this paper, design requirements of the large radar were investigated, and development was performed through the analysis and design. Large radar should be designed by bearing the 75 knot wind force and $20kg/m^2$ ice mass as operating conditions in order to meet structural stability, and driving torque and bearing load were calculated for securing the driving stability. Thermal dissipation analysis was performed considering TRM and DC-DC Converter's limitation temperature by $50^{\circ}C$ ambient temperature condition in order to attain thermal stability, and PSD and shock analysis were carried out by using MIL-STD-810G vibration and shock specification in order to transport and installation of the large radar. As a result, all components of large radar could secure the structural stability more than 2.8 factor of safety, and driving stability was also secured with adequate bearing fatigue life. Thermal stability was attained by allowable max temperature 88.7 C of the TRM, and structural stability for transportation and installation of the large radar was also secured more than 5 factor of safety. After it was transported and installed to the radar site, operating capability was finally verified by rotating the large radar.

This paper describes on the consolidation of AIS and ARPA radar positions by comparing the AIS and ARPA radar information for the tracked ship targets using a PC-based ECDIS in Busan harbor, Korea. The information of AIS and ARPA radar target was acquired independently, and the tracking parameters such as ship's position, COG, SOG, gyro heading, rate of turn, CPA, TCPA, ship s name and MMSI etc. were displayed automatically on the chart of a PC-based ECDIS with radar overlay and ARPA tracking. The ARPA tracking information obtained from the observed radar images of the target ship was compared with the AIS information received from the same vessel to investigate the difference in the position and movement behavior between AIS and ARPA tracked target ships. For the ARPA radar and AIS targets to be consolidated, the differences in range, speed, course, bearing and distance between their targets were estimated to obtain a clear standards for the consolidation of ARPA radar and AIS targets. The average differences between their ranges, their speeds and their courses were 2.06% of the average range, -0.11 knots with the averaged SOG of 11.62 knots, and $0.02^{\circ}$ with the averaged COG of $37.2^{\circ}$, respectively. The average differences between their bearings and between their positions were $-1.29^{\circ}$ and 68.8m, respectively. From these results, we concluded that if the ROT, COG, SOG, and HDG informations are correct, the AIS system can be improved the prediction of a target ship's path and the OOW(Officer of Watch) s ability to anticipate a traffic situation more accurately.

With increased human activity in space, the risk of re-entry and collision between space objects is constantly increasing. Hence, the need for space situational awareness (SSA) programs has been acknowledged by many experienced space agencies. Optical and radar sensors, which enable the surveillance and tracking of space objects, are the most important technical components of SSA systems. In particular, combinations of radar systems and optical sensor networks play an outstanding role in SSA programs. At present, Korea operates the optical wide field patrol network (OWL-Net), the only optical system for tracking space objects. However, due to their dependence on weather conditions and observation time, it is not reasonable to use optical systems alone for SSA initiatives, as they have limited operational availability. Therefore, the strategies for developing radar systems should be considered for an efficient SSA system using currently available technology. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the performance of a radar system in detecting and tracking space objects. With the radar system investigated, the minimum sensitivity is defined as detection of a $1-m^2$ radar cross section (RCS) at an altitude of 2,000 km, with operating frequencies in the L, S, C, X or Ku-band. The results of power budget analysis showed that the maximum detection range of 2,000 km, which includes the low earth orbit (LEO) environment, can be achieved with a transmission power of 900 kW, transmit and receive antenna gains of 40 dB and 43 dB, respectively, a pulse width of 2 ms, and a signal processing gain of 13.3 dB, at a frequency of 1.3 GHz. We defined the key parameters of the radar following a performance analysis of the system. This research can thus provide guidelines for the conceptual design of radar systems for national SSA initiatives.

본 연구에서는 범용 매개변수 최적화 모형인 PEST를 이용하여 분포형 수문모형인 GRM(grid based rainfall-runoff model) 모형의 매개변수 및 불확실성 범위를 추정하였다. 특히, 레이더 강우 및 지상 관측 강우를 각각 적용하여, 입력자료 차이가 매개변수 추정에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 자동 보정 모형은 GUI (graphic user interface)에 대한 접근 없이 모형구동이 가능하도록 개선된 GRM-MP (multiple projects) 버전과 병렬 PEST 버전을 결합하여 매개변수 추정에 소요되는 시간을 단축시켰다. 이를 낙동강 수계 금호강 유역과 감천 유역에 대해 적용하여, 초기 포화도, 지표면 조도계수 및 토양 투수계수의 보정계수에 대해 매개변수 최적화 및 불확실성 추정을 수행하였다. 강우자료 분석 결과, 레이더와 지상 강우의 유역평균 누적시계열은 비슷하거나 지상 강우가 조금 큰 경향을 보였으나, 공간분포에 있어서는 지상 강우에 비해 레이더 강우에서 큰 변동성이 확인되었다. 보정된 수문모의 결과는 레이더 강우 적용 시, 지상 강우에 비해 비슷하거나 더 나은 정확도를 보였다. 추정된 매개변수는 레이더 강우 적용 시, 토양 투수계수의 보정계수가 일관되게 1보다 작은 경향을 보였으며, 이는 강우강도가 강한 격자가 상당수 존재하기 때문으로 판단되었다. 초기 포화도 및 지표면 조도계수의 보정계수는 레이더 및 지상 강우에서 일정한 경향성을 보이지 않았다. 본 연구의 대상 유역 및 호우사상에 대한 PEST의 최적화 모의 결과, 동일 유역 및 호우사상에 대해서도 강우 추정 방법에 따라 서로 다른 최적 매개변수 값을 갖는 것을 알 수 있었으며, 이는 향후 레이더 강우 자료의 수문 모의 활용 시 유의해야할 점으로 판단된다.
