In this paper, the problem of two-dimensional (2D) direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation with parallel linear arrays is addressed. Two array manifold matching (AMM) approaches, in this work, are developed for the incoherent and coherent signals, respectively. The proposed AMM methods estimate the azimuth angle only with the assumption that the elevation angles are known or estimated. The propos...

Multi-channel radar systems allow for overcoming the inherent limitation of conventional synthetic aperture radar (SAR). An example is the combination of digital beamforming on receive in elevation with multi-aperture SAR signal reconstruction in azimuth which enables high-resolution wide-swath imaging [1]. As a next step, focus is turned to advanced concepts for the imaging of even wider swath...

A RF directional modulation technique using a switched antenna array is proposed for communication and direction-finding applications. The main idea is that a baseband modulation signal is transmitted by the switched antenna array. The phase center of the transmit signal is moved by the feeding line of each element from the left to the right. In this way, the data information and Doppler freque...

In spatial phase-shifting interferential system on polarization interference and grating beam-splitting, the azimuth errors of the polarizers are the central error sources of phase-shifting steps and have 1:1 effect for the steps. It applies two ways to determine the azimuth errors of the ploarizers: experimental testing and software calculating. The basic principle of experimental testing is t...

Offset plane wave migration and common-azimuth migration are among the most promising wave-equation migration methods for efficiently imaging 3-D marine data sets. Offset plane wave migration has some computational advantages over common-azimuth migration, but common-azimuth is more accurate. Sub-salt images produced by commonazimuth migration are better focused than the corresponding images pr...

Abstract. The location of objects based on the analysis acoustic signals is widely used in various civil and military systems. Applications that allow users to determine sound source are used, for example, conference rooms automatic speaker location, enabling unattended camera control, detecting tracking movement area surveillance systems, etc. paper presents a system determining azimuth moving...

We discuss an efficient phase preserving technique for ScanSAR focusing, used to obtain images suitable for ScanSAR interferometry. Given two complex focused ScanSAR images of the same area, an interferogram can be generated as for conventional repeat pass SAR interferometry. However, due to the nonstationary azimuth spectrum of ScanSAR images, the coherence of the interferometric pair and the ...

Radar imaging based on electromagnetic vortex can achieve azimuth resolution without relative motion. The present paper investigates this imaging technique with the use of a single receiving antenna through theoretical analysis and experimental results. Compared with the use of multiple receiving antennas, the echoes from a single receiver cannot be used directly for image reconstruction using ...

We present a method to construct 3D angle gathers from extended images obtained using wave-equation migration. The method relies on an analytic formula that associates the reflection and azimuth angle to reflection kinematics in the images. The decomposition is able to render the angle gathers that characterize the reflectivity as a function of both reflection and azimuth angle simultaneously. ...
