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-m2 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 연구는 수요와 재배면적이 점차 확대되고 있는 수수의 안정적인 생산을 확립하기 위한 기초자료로 활용하고자 주 요 4품종(남풍찰, 동안메, 황금찰, 흰찰)을 이용하여 종자의 형태적 특성과 다양한 종자세 검사 등 종자의 기본적인 특 성을 알아보았다. 1. 수수의 형태적 특성에서는 폭을 제외한 장과 두께는 차이가 나타나지 않았으며, 종실형태는 흰찰은 원형, 나머지 품종은 난형의 형상으로 보였다. 종피색에서는 흰찰과 나머지 품종간의 뚜렷한 차이를 보이며, 남풍 찰과 황금찰은 무광택 종자이었다. 2. 표준발아검사 및 저온검사는 황금찰>남풍찰>동안메> 흰찰 순으로 나타났고, 노화촉진검사에서는 표준발아 검사와 비교시 동안메에서만 15% 이상의 감소를 보였 으며, 전기전도율 검사는 표준발아검사, 저온검사 및 노화촉진검사의 발아율과 부의 상관관계를 나타났다. 3. 출현율 평가에서는 황금찰이 가장 높은 85.7%로, 가 장 낮은 출현율을 보인 흰찰보다 40% 이상의 차이가 나타났고, 평균 출현율일수에서는 흰찰이 가장 느린 6.0일로 보이며 품종별 뚜렷한 차이가 나타났다.

Miscanthus, a perennial rhizomatous C4 grass, is a potential biomass crop. Its propagation can be made by seed, rhizome and cultured tissue. Propagation by rhizomes or cultured tissues is expensive, while seed propagation is rather simple and cheaper. However, little effort has been made to investigate seed germination, particularly in relation with exogeneous chemicals including plant growth regulators to improve germination. This study was conducted to improve the seed germination of Miscanthus with GA3, NaClO, KNO3 and procloraz. iscanthus sacchariflorus and Miscanthus sinesis seeds were treated with the above chemicals at different concentrations. Decoated seeds were soaked in GA3, NaClO, KNO3, and procloraz solutions. Pretreated 20 Miscanthus seeds were then sown in each petri dish covered with a single layer of Watman filter paper and maintained in the incubation chamber at 33℃/25℃ (day/night). Seed germination were measured every 8 hours. As a result, the best germination was obtained at 250 mg/L GA3, 0.3% NaClO, 1 mM KNO3 and 1 mL/L procloraz solutions.
