APhased MIMO radar with full waveform diversity is proposed which divides the transmit array into overlapping subarrays in such a way that the number of subarrays are equal to the number of transmit antennas. Each subarray send sout a unique wave form towards the target of interest and thus provides a full waveform diversity, which results in the virtual extension of received array. This virtua...

Random noise polarimetry is a new radar technique for high-resolution probing of subsurface objects and interfaces. The University of Nebraska has developed a polarimetric random noise radar system based on the heterodyne correlation technique. Simulation studies and performance tests on the system confirm its ability to respond to phase differences in the received signals. In addition to polar...

The sequential algorithm for target detection in impulse environment by K-stage processing in polar Hough (PH) space is investigated. This algorithm permits the search radar to minimize the time of target detection, because the sequential detector used minimizes the number of the necessary radar antenna scans, while the conventional detector uses a fix scan number. The aim of our study is to mi...

This paper presents an overview of recent progress of radar for the image detection and characterization of targets. MIMO radar can improve on conventional target detection, parameter identification, and target classification performance via diversity of, among other things, its simultaneously transmitted waveforms. However, the mutual interference among the waveforms may lead to considerable p...

The occurrences of precipitation, also commonly referred as rain, in the form of "convective" and "stratiform" have been identified to exist worldwide. In this study, the radar return echoes or known as reflectivity values acquired from radar scans have been exploited in the process of classifying the type of rain endured. The investigation use radar data from Malaysian Meteorology Department (...

Sea clutter refers to the radar returns from a patch of ocean surface. When a radar detects targets on or above the sea surface, it has to overcome the interference from sea echo itself. Sea clutter presents obviously non-Gaussian, non-stationary for many diverse factors, such as radar polarization mode, working frequency, antenna visual angle, sea state and wind direction, which limit the dete...

The passive radar is a hot research topic. A multi-channel wideband passive radar experimental system is designed and the digital television terrestrial broadcasting (DTTB) signal is chosen to carry out the target detection experiment of civil aviation aircraft. The polarization and spatial filtering methods are used to solve the strong direct path interference suppression problems brought by t...

We introduce a full hardware implementation and demo of a sub-Nyquist radar receiver. Our system demonstrates pulse-Doppler radar transmission and reception at sub-Nyquist rates. Specifically, we sample the received radar signal at 1/20 the Nyquist rate, while still perfectly detecting the targets in the delayDoppler plane. In addition our system filters clutter interference from the sub-Nyquis...

Abstract Frequency diverse array (FDA), which can be combined with Multiple-input-Multiple-output (MIMO) to improve the performance of system, and range information provided by FDA-MIMO radar provides a new idea for suppressing main lobe interference. However, periodicity angle-range two-dimensional beam pattern also causes some safety hazards beamforming process. When interference is located i...

Digital intercept receivers are currently moving away from Fourier-based analysis and towards classical time-frequency analysis techniques, such as the Wigner-Ville distribution, ChoiWilliams distribution, spectrogram, and scalogram, for the purpose of analyzing low probability of intercept radar signals (e.g. triangular modulated frequency modulated continuous wave and frequency shift keying)....
