Recently, as global space development and space risk have increased, in Korea, considerable attention has been diverted to the development of space surveillance radar (SSR) capable of wide-area and full-time monitoring. For the efficient development of domestic SSR, which is usually expensive, it is necessary to appropriately derive the requirements for SSR based on analyses of overseas advanced cases. In this study, based on an analysis of the space fence surveillance radar in the USA, the field of view for the search fence was set. By deriving and analyzing the maximum number of observable targets per day and the cumulative distribution of the duration of detection, a method was developed to derive the requirements for the search fence when developing a domestic SSR in the future.

In this paper, a method of ISAR geometric calibration is represented by using impulse-radio UWB radar. The ir-UWB is good for using a signal processing in time domain, so, it does not occur a multi-path or coupling problem. If a signal that between antennas and target is assumed a plane wave, a center of rotation in ISAR geometry model can be estimated by using point target. Before image is reconstructed with sinogram, the center of rotation can be calculated by using least square fitting. This method can be obtained a more contrast image, and a maximum value of entropy of image. The method, that estimates a center of rotation in received data, will be used a initial setup of instruments or a periodic compensation to reconstruct image. It would be useful in medical, security and surveillance imaging equipments that have a fixed geometry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
