Adjusting radar transmitted waveform to its environment is one of the most important roles in cognitive radar; having the capability of updating transmitted waveforms in different applications is a key point. It has been shown in many studies that if the waveform is designed according to the target and clutter characteristics, the detection performance will improve significantly. The uncertaint...

High frequency (HF) radars are capable to detect and track targets at extremely long ranges. But the signal environment that includes external noise, different kinds of clutter and interference will significantly limit the detection and system capability. This paper considers a new approach to solve the ship detection problem in a complex HF radar signal environment. It uses detection procedure...

We propose a new constant false alarm rate (CFAR) detection method from noncoherent radar echoes, considering heterogeneous sea clutter. It applies the Bayesian theory for adaptive estimation of the local clutter statistical distribution in the cell under test. The detection technique can be readily implemented in existing noncoherent marine radar systems, which makes it particularly attractive...

This paper investigated the feasibility for improved detection of human respiration using data fusion based on a multistatic ultra-wideband (UWB) radar. UWB-radar-based respiration detection is an emerging technology that has great promise in practice. It can be applied to remotely sense the presence of a human target for through-wall surveillance, post-earthquake search and rescue, etc. In the...

Superiority of poly-alphabetic sequences (PAS) for pulse compression radar over the binary and ternary sequences was established earlier. However, the enlarged alphabets in poly–alphabetic sequences deteriorate the noise and Doppler robustness at higher lengths in high resolution radar (HRR) systems. In this paper, poly-semantic sequences (PSS) with restricted alphabet {+1,-1} are considered an...

Active cancellation stealth is a significant developing direction in modern stealth technology field. In this paper, according to characteristics of linear frequency modulated (LFM) signal and nonlinear frequency modulated (NLFM) signal, the cancellation signal was designed. An important parameter called cancellaty which is used to measure the effect of cancellation is proposed. The basic theor...

18 High-Frequency (HF) radars are operated in the 3-30 MHz frequency band and are known to cover ranges up to several hundred kilometers. Low power HF radar systems have been developed especially for oceanographic applications. They use electromagnetic surface wave propagation along the salty ocean. The WERA HF radar system transmits an average power of 30 watts but it achieves detection ranges...

Scientists have explored that WiMAX has the potential to enhance the performance of the radar networks. With the idea of implementing MIMO (multi-input multi-output) communication technology for overcoming the challenges offered by hostile channel and environmental effects.It leads the technocrats to utilize this technology in radar operations. WiMAX MIMO can exploit the range of WiMAX and the ...

■ In the early 1950s, the threat of manned bombers carrying nuclear weapons across the arctic region was of paramount concern in continental defense. The 1952 Summer Study at MIT recommended the development of an earlywarning radar line across the northern reaches of Alaska and Canada, from Cape Lisburne on the northwest corner of Alaska to Cape Dyer on Baffin Island on the east coast of Canada...
