FOREIGN OBJECT DEBRIS-DETECTING RADAR APPARATUS AND FOREIGN OBJECT DEBRIS-DETECTING METHOD CAPABLE OF IDENTIFYING MOVING TARGET

摘要

The present invention relates to a foreign object debris-detecting radar apparatus and a foreign object debris-detecting method capable of indentifying a moving target. The foreign object debris-detecting radar apparatus comprises: a transceiving module for transceiving millimeter waves; a signal processing module for detecting foreign object debris (FOD) by processing the signals of the millimeter waves received by the transceiving module; and an FOD identification module for identifying whether or not an animal has been detected, by analyzing the signal waveforms of the received millimeter waves if the FOD detected by the signal processing module is a moving target. According to the FOD-detecting radar apparatus and the FOD-detecting method capable of identifying a moving target, as described above, the kind of the animal can be recognized and reaction corresponding to the same can be conducted swiftly via signal analysis through the movement and sound of the moving target. Particularly, animals can be prevented from jumping into a runway abruptly in advance by scanning the vicinity of the runway to recognize an animal and the kind of the animal. In addition, animals can be recognized and tracked accurately at night using an infrared sensor module.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2015
