▣ Abstract : In this presentation, I will introduce two topics about radar system development. In the first topic, the basic concept of radar system and required technologies are presented. The radar transmits high power microwave signal to space, receives echo signal from target, and extract information of targets. The technology characteristics of radar system include big antenna, high power of amplifier, high dynamic range of a receiver, and high speed signal processing. He talks also new trends and technology about radar. The second is how we can develop radar systems. Radar is very complex system and radar development is not simple. Technologies are very important, but there are more things for radar development, such as time schedule, budget, performance, trade-off issue, and/or people management problem. I will introduce system engineering (SE) and the radar development process with some examples based on the experience of radar development program in LIG Nex1.
