An Analysis of Direction Finding Accuracy of ELINT System

The technology of direction finding is very important to find the direction of emitters for ELINT(electronic intelligence) system. The principle of TDOA(time difference of arrival) is to receive an emitter signal with two antennas, measure the time difference between two antennas, and converse the time difference to direction difference. This technology can be used in broadband frequency system and make the system very simple because a phase-discriminator and a voltage comparator are not needed. For fine DF accuracy, high time resolution receiver and long basis line antennas are needed. The DF accuracy of noise added signals is simulated with different time

The obtained antennas operate in S-DMB band (2.63 - 2.635 GHz) and can be adopted for various potable applications.

An Accurate Direction Finding Technology Using a Phase Comparison and Time Difference of Arrival

In this paper, we proposed a new direction finding(DF) technology using TDOA(time-difference of arrival) and PDOA(phase difference of arriving signal) method. The proposed technology has a good DF accuracy without DF ambiguity. TDOA or PDOA technology is used to the most of intelligence systems in 21 century. The principle of TDOA is to receive a signal with two parallel antennas, measure the time difference of arrival signal, and converse the time difference to the direction of incident signal. Those technology make a DF system small size but the DF accuracy is low into short antenna installation distance. The principle of PDOA is similar to TDOA except measuring the phase difference of arrival signal, These technology get a good DF accuracy in short antenna installation distance but have a DF ambiguity. The proposed DF method is simulated into DF system operation environment with noise, and has a good DF accuracy.

The Direction Finding Error of TDOA Method According to the Antenna Arrangement

A direction finding(DF) technology of a signal is very important for electronic warfare and has studied for a long time. The method of TDOA(time difference of arrival) is one of good DF methods in this time, and that is to receive an emitter signal with two antennas, to measure the time difference of a signal at two antennas, and converse the time difference to direction of the signal. For small DF error, high time resolution receiver and long baseline are needed. In this paper we suggest a good baseline with adaptive antenna arrangement into 10m*10m area.

A De-interleaving Method of Frequency Agility Radar Signals in Comparison with PRI's of radars

Abstract In this paper, we present new signal de-interleaving method for the frequency agility radar in which the carrier frequency is changed irregularly. Generally radar use a fixed carrier frequency, and it is easy for electronic warfare system to de-interleave the radar signal with respect to the frequency, pulse width(PW), and direction of signal arriving(DOA). In frequency agility radar, it is difficult to de-interleave the radar signals according to the carrier frequency because the frequency is changed irregularly. We suggest a good de-interleaving method to identify the frequency agility radar signals in comparison with PRIs of radars. First we calculate pulse repeat Interval(PRI) of radar in linked-list and queue structure and de-interleave the radar signals with PRI, PW, and DOA, then identify the frequency agility radar. When we use the proposed algorism to the frequency agility radar, we have a good de-interleaving results with electronic warfare systems. Key Words :

Analysis of Direction Finding Accuracy for Amplitude-Phase Comparison and Correlative Interferometer Method

In this paper, we present the direction finding accuracy of correlative interferometer method and amplitude-phase comparison method. Spiral antennas are used for amplitude-phase comparison method and blade antennas are used for correlative interferometer method. Those are made for uniform circular array (UCA) direction finding antenna systems. We simulate the accuracy of azimuth angle with 3 antennas UCA when SNR is 20 dB and baseline is 0.5 wave length. Correlative interferometer method has better accuracy than amplitude-phase comparison method.

A Design of Position Tracking System for Moving Targets with Multi-Sensors

In this paper we present a position tracking system that checks the locations of moving targets in real-time. The system confirms that unknown object invades in watch area using 2 infrared sensors and detect the distance from each sensor to object using 4 ultrasonic sensors, and calculate the position of moving object in x-y coordinate. We specially present an algorithm that decide the location of target in case of target is detected in 2 sensors because of radiation beam width of ultrasonic sensor. We established the algorithm to hardware system and tested the system within a laboratory, and confirmed that the designed system tracked an object exactly in real-time.

An anti-ARM technique using decoy antennas

This paper describes an anti-ARM technique using multiple decoy antennas. We investigate the radar and decoy antenna signal received at the ARM receiver to verify the effect of decoy antennas. And we develop a simulation program using Matlab for optimum positions of the decoys and the effect of ARM by distance between decoys. We suggest optimum positions and distance between decoys based on our simulation results.

An Identify of Two Step Stagger Signals Using the Second Deviation of Pulse Train

In this paper, we present a novel pulse train identification method for two step stagger pulse train. Generally radar uses a fixed pulse train, and it is easy for electronic warfare system to measure the pulse repeat interval(PRI) and identify the radar. But it is very difficult to measure the PRI of stagger pulse radar because the pulse interval is periodically changed. We suggest a novel method to measure the PRI and identify the radars using the second deviation of pulse train. This method is faster comparing with Histogram method. We have a good PRI measurement results for 2 step stagger signals.
