Normally wind measurements from Doppler radars rely on the presence of rain. During fine weather, insects become a potential radar target for wind measurement. However, it is difficult to separate ground clutter and insect echoes when spectral or polarimetric methods are not available. Archived reflectivity and velocity data from repeated 5 scans provide alternative methods. The probability of ...

-This paper depicts implementation of a radar system model and detection analysis by applying the Monte Carlo Simulation. For the radar system model development, we incorporated antenna geometry, transmit and receive signal model, antenna array and element pattern, thermal noise and clutter model. For detection analysis, we consider different scenarios such as fluctuating versus non fluctuating...

Moving weather systems will have a nonzero Doppler response at rate at which the rain droplets are approaching the radar system. The complete data the radar collects contain the returns of both the target and the clutter. The signal processing block in a radar system uses filtering operations to extract the target information while suppressing the clutter. Typically the filters are designed bas...

Detection of weak target echo in the presence of strong clutter is the main objective of any RADAR. To evaluate the performance of RADAR it is required to generate the clutter of various types including land and sea. This clutter is of non Gaussian distribution such as lognormal, Weibull and k-type. In this project it is proposed to develop a clutter generation algorithm of given distribution t...

A lot of progress has been made for automotive radar during the last years. There are two types of automotive radar; “long-range radar at 77GHz with a range capability up to 200m“ for automatic cruise control (ACC) and “short-range radar at 24/26 and 79GHz up to 30m“ for anti-collision. Long radar with narrow radiation beam enables a automobile to maintain a cruising distance, while short-range...

this paper addresses the signal processing principles in passive bistatic radar (pbr) systems. in this case, the detection problem in the presence of system noise, clutter/multipath, direct signal and interfering target signals is investigated. to this light, two types of detectors are studied. in the first one, which is based on intuitive sense, we examine two detectors. in the second type det...

The target detection performance decreases in airborne multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar space-time adaptive processing (STAP) when the training samples contaminated by interference-targets (outliers) signals are used to estimate the covariance matrix. To address this problem, a knowledge-aided (KA) generalized inner product non-homogeneity detector (GIP NHD) is proposed for MIMO-STAP...

HF skywave ‘over-the-horizon’ radars experience exceptionally high levels of clutter from the earth’s surface as a consequence of their ‘look-down’ propagation geometry. While Doppler processing is effective in separating aircraft echoes from the clutter, thereby enabling detection, the same does not always hold for slow moving targets. In particular, ship echoes occupy the same region of Doppl...

Several radar parameters quantifying signal variability in single-polarisation radar measurements (Power Ratio, PR; Clutter Phase Alignment, CPA; and Absolute Power Difference, APD) are evaluated using Bayes‟ theorem in terms of the separation between the returns from ground clutter and precipitation. As these parameters are not independent, the intention is to identify the parameter providing ...

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...
