Simulated raw radar signals prove to be very useful at the first stages of testing radar signal processing algorithms and procedures. This is particularly true for synthetic aperture radar (SAR), where the costs of real signals acquisition are very high due to the costs of building the system as well as the costs of mission (air or space-borne). This paper describes a multifunctional SAR raw si...

Knowledge of sea ice thickness is critical for the prediction of future climate, and for assessing the significance of changes in thickness. Sea ice thickness can be calculated from radar or laser satellite altimetry measurements of freeboard. However, a lack of knowledge of snow depth introduces significant uncertainties into these calculations. This paper compares the first coincident airborn...

At-sea detection of marine debris presents a difficult problem, as the debris items are often relatively small and partially submerged. However, they may accumulate in water parcel boundaries or eddy lines. The application of models, satellite radar and multispectral data, and airborne remote sensing (particularly radar) to focus the search on eddies and convergence zones in the open ocean appe...

eWallpaper is a smart wallpaper containing thousands of embedded, low-power processors and radio transceivers. An important application of the wallpaper is to use the radio transceivers to perform 3D radar imaging. The major obstacles in implementing the imaging algorithm on the wallpaper are the distribution of the data amongst the large number of processors, the restrictive 2D mesh topology, ...

Jamming of radar guided missile receivers are extremely difficult as the frequency lock and the servo lock requires no deviations in the repeater waveform of the jammer and its frequency. Broadband repeat jamming of such missile radar receiver is illustrated in this paper for effective deception in the presence of FM CW (Continuous Wave) interference signal. The modulation index of the FM jamme...

Geosynchronous Circular Synthetic Aperture Radar (GeoCSAR) has the Circular SAR configuration and undergoes a nearellipse geosynchronous track rather a “8”-like track of conventional GeoSAR. It could produce three dimensional (3-D) images of extended Earth scenes. GeoCSAR raw data simulator is of vital for predicting system performance, developing suitable data processing algorithms, etc.. It s...
