Radar micro-Doppler signatures have been proposed for human monitoring and activity classification surveillance outdoor security, as well ambient assisted living in healthcare-related applications. A known issue is the performance reduction when target moving tangentially to line of sight radar. Multiple techniques address this, such multistatic radar some extent, interferometric (IF) simulator...

Clouds are one of the main reasons of uncertainties in the forecasts of weather and climate. In part, this is due to limitations of remote sensing of cloud microphysics. Present approaches often use passive spectral measurements for the remote sensing of cloud microphysical parameters. Large uncertainties are introduced by three-dimensional (3D) radiative transfer effects and cloud inhomogeneit...

In interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) processing, simulation of interferogram is a common practice. It is used as synthetic data to test and validate the whole chain of InSAR processing from the interferogram creation to the DEM reconstruction. The objective of this paper is to develop a simulator for validation of geocoding processing and phase-to-height conversion processing alg...

In this paper we explore the performances and the opportunities provided by the European satellite Sentinel-1 for water resource management applications in low-income countries. The analysis is supported by a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) simulator, which allowed the quantification of the expected characteristics of Sentinel-1 products in three applications: interferometric digital elevation m...

Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) raw signal simulation is a powerful tool for designing new sensors, testing processing algorithms, planning missions, and devising inversion algorithms. In this paper, a spotlight SAR raw signal simulator for distributed targets is presented. The proposed procedure is based on a Fourier domain analysis: a proper analytical reformulation of the spotlight SAR raw si...

A compact U shaped slot patch antenna is proposed and designed in this paper for Wi-max and radar applications. This antenna is designed on a Rogers RT-Duroid substrate of dielectric constant 2.2 with thickness of 0.16cm. The dimensions of the proposed antenna are 3cm X 3cm X 0.16cm. The proposed antenna resonates at three frequencies 6.05 GHz, 9.87 GHz and 10.47 GHz. The gain of the proposed m...
