Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Ocean surface current radar is a Doppler radar to observe oceanographic information using the Bragg scattering resonance mechanism. Distance and Doppler frequency of ocean surface current can be estimated by the FMICW (Frequency Modulated Interrupted Continuous Wave) radar. In addition, angular distribution can be resolved by digital beam forming (DBF) method. In this paper, we consider applying the Khatri-Rao (KR) product transform to the ocean surface current radar. The KR product is signal processing technique that can improve angular resolution without changing the physical aperture length of the array antenna. It has been reported that the angular resolution enhancement enables us to remove clutter in adjacent angles and Doppler frequency estimation results will be improved. In this paper, we apply the KR product array to actual experimental data set of the radar, and estimate surface current velocity. Then, we propose that the improvement of angular resolution and Doppler frequency estimation accuracy affect the result of surface current velocity estimation. Key words Ocean Surface Current Radar, DOA estimation, Khatri-Rao product, Resolution Improvement, Suface currant velocity estimation.
