Abstract

This paper describes the design of a simulator for analyzing the accuracy of a correlative interferometer(CI) direction finder. CI direction finder is robust to noise, so it is often used in aircraft or ships where complex antenna installation is required, and the direction finding accuracy is very high. When the radio wave is incident at a specific azimuth angle, the phase difference calculated in a noiseless environment and the phase difference measured in a real environment with noise are fused to estimate the largest correlation coefficient as the azimuth angle of the radio wave. The simulator receives RF frequency, the number of antennas, the antenna coordinates, the transmission signal intensity, the bandwidth of the receiver, the gain and the payload effect, and calculates the direction finding accuracy of 0-360 degrees azimuth and 0-60 degree elevation with 0.5 degree. accuracy.

본 논문은 상관형 위상비교(correlative interferometer) 방향탐지 장치의 정확도 분석용 시뮬레이터 설계에 대하여 기술하였다. 상관형 위상비교 방향탐지는 잡음에 강인하므로 안테나 설치가 복잡한 항공기나 함정 등에서 많이 사용되며 방향탐지 정확도가 매우 높다. 또한 전파가 특정 방위각에서 입사될 때 잡음이 없는 환경에서 계산한 위상차와 잡음이 있는 실제 환경에서 측정한 위상차를 융합하여 상관계수가 가장 큰 값을 전파의 방위각으로 추정하는 방식이다. 시뮬레이터는 전파의 주파수, 방탐장치 안테나 수, 안테나 좌표, 전파의 송신신호 세기, 수신기의 대역폭, 이득, 플랫폼(platform)의 전파간섭 등을 입력으로 받아서 0-360도 방위각과 0-60도 고각에 대한 방향탐지 정확도를 계산한다. 시뮬레이터는 실제 환경에서 발생할 수 있는 요소를 대부분 반영하였으므로 방향탐지 오차 분석이 0.5도 이하로 정확하고 함정과 항공기의 방탐장치 설계에 잘 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
