Applications of Microwaves in Remote Sensing

The electromagnetic spectrum extends from Hertz to terahertz. In this large range of EM spectrum there are window defining the smaller ranges and one of the important windows which covers frequency range from 3GHz to 30GHz is known as Microwaves. These Microwaves have various applications in communication Industrial, Medical and Remote Sensing. The Microwaves have unique Properties that include...

Optimized Sinus Wave generation with Compressed Sensing for Radar Applications

In Radar applications it is important to generate a sinus signal with low phase distortion. High precision oscillators have a low level of efficiency, they are expensive and also require an analog power amplifier with linear characteristic. The sinus generation with pulse width modulation (PWM) is effective and economical, but adds additional noise to the signal. When the transmission channel i...

Waveform Optimization for Compressive Sensing Radar Systems

Compressive sensing (CS) provides a new paradigm in data acquisition and signal processing for radar. In this work, we investigate the performance of several deterministic waveforms for the basic problem of range-only estimation in CS-radar system. We investigate the effects of a digital RF system from signal generation at the transmitter, to sparse signal recovery at the receiver, on the incoh...
