Target tracking algorithms in radar systems have to operate in an environment of measurement uncertainty. A condition for good target tracking in a radar system is that a target position can be estimated and the measurement accuracy can be determined. The main problem is that clutter cannot be well defined by a stationary stochastic process and there is no known general model that works in diff...

We present a bistatic, polarimetric and real aperture Marine Radar Simulator (MaRS) producing pseudo-raw radar signal. The simulation takes the main elements of the environment into account (sea temperature, salinity, wind speed). Realistic sea surfaces are generated using a two-scales model on a semi-deterministic basis, so as to be able to incorporate the presence of ship wakes. Then, the rad...

The hybrid stripmap/spotlight operating mode for Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) system is able to generate microwave images with an azimuth resolution better than that achieved in the stripmap configuration, and a ground coverage better than the one of the spotlight configuration, thanks to the radar antenna beam steering about a point farther away from the radar than the area being illuminated...

A vehicle driving with an Adaptive Cruise Control System (ACC) is usually controlled decentrally, based on the information of radar systems and in some publications based on C2X-Communication (CACC) to guarantee stable platoons. In this paper we present a Model Predictive Control (MPC) design of a centralized, server-based ACC-System, whereby the vehicular platoon is modeled and controlled as a...

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) raw signal simulation is a powerful tool for design of oil slick detection and interpretation systems. In this paper, the ocean simulation issues are presented, and the main problems relating to the oil presence on the sea surface are treated. Attention is focused on the electromagnetic side of the problem, with care to the sensor signatures, the dielectric, physi...

Radio-frequency-based noncooperative monitoring of humans has numerous applications ranging from law enforcement to ubiquitous sensing such as ambient assisted living and biomedical for nonintrusively patients. Large training datasets, almost unlimited memory capacity, ever-increasing processing speeds computers could drive forward the data-driven deep-learning-focused research in abovementione...

The design and development of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) system for a particular application often requires redesign of software and hardware to optimize the system performance. In addition, evaluations of the performance of existing autofocus and image formation algorithms are required for the SAR system designers to select a most suitable algorithm for a given image quality requirements. ...

This paper presents a new software for design of through-the-wall imaging radars. The first part describes the evolution of a ray tracing simulator, originally designed for propagation of narrowband signals, and then for ultra-wideband signals. This simulator allows to obtain temporal channel response to a wide-band emitter (3 GHz to 10 GHz). An experimental method is also described to identify...
