Applications of Sigma-Delta STAP, and a method of GMTI processing are presented for GMTI(Ground Moving Target Indication) mode of airborne radar with sigma, delta, and guard channels. We showed results of performance analyses of presented methods by clutter simulation with ICM(Internal Clutter Motion), signal processing simulation and MDV(Minimum Detectable Velocity). Presented methods for Sigma-Delta STAP and GMTI processing are easy to apply practically in GMTI mode of airborne radar without restriction by specific airborne radar system.

Active driving safety systems for vehicle, such as the front collision avoidance, lane departure warning, and lane change assistance, have been popular to be adopted to the compact car. For improving performance and competitive cost, FMCW radar has been researched to adopt a phased array or a multi-beam antenna, and to integrate the front and the side radar. In this paper we propose several efficient methods to implement the signal processing module of FMCW radar system using low cost DSP. The pulse width modulation (PWM) based analog conversion, the approximation of time-eating functions, and the adoption of vector-based computation, etc, are proposed and implemented. The implemented signal processing board shows the real-time performance of 1.4ms pulse repetition interval (PRI) with 1024pt-FFT. In real road we verify the radar performance under real-time constraints of 10Hz update time.

The detectability of radar depends on RCS(radar cross section). The RCS for complex radar targets may be only approximately calculated by using low-frequency or high-frequency scattering methods, while the RCS for simple radar targets can be exactly obtained by applying on eigen-function method. However, the conventional methods for calculation of RCS are computationally complex. We propose an radar signal model for RCS calculation by MUSIC algorithm In this research, it is assumed that the radar target is considered as a ring of scatterers. The amplitudes of scatterers may be statistically distributed. As the result, the radar signal model is proposed to use MUSIC, and the RCS is calculated by a simple linear algebraic method.

In a modern electronic warfare, radar signal environments become more denser and complex. Therefor the capability of reliable signal analysis techniques is required for ES(Electronic warfare Support) system to identify and analysis individual emitter signals from received signals. In this paper, we propose the new signal grouping algorithm to ensure the reliable signal analysis and to reduce the cost of the signal processing steps in the ES. The proposed grouping algorithm uses KDE(Kernel Density Estimator) and its CDF(Cumulative Distribution Function) to compose windows considering the statistical distribution characteristics based on the radar frequency modulation type. Simulation results show the good performance of the proposed technique in the signal grouping.

A prototype radar display unit was implemented using inexpensive off-the-shelf components, including a nonlinear estimation algorithm for the target tracking in a clutter environment. Two custom designed boards; an analog signal processing board and a DSP board, can be plugged into an expansion slot of a personal computer (PC) to form a maritime radar display unit. Our system provided all the functionality specified in the International Maritime Organization (IMO) resolution A422(XI). The analog signal processing board was used for A/D conversion as well as rain and sea clutter suppression. The main functions of the DSP board were scan conversion and video overlay operations. A host PC was used to run the tracking algorithm of targets in clutter, using the discrete-time Bayes optimal (nonlinear, and non-Gaussian) estimation method, and the graphic user interface (GUI) software for Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (ARPA). The proposed tracking method recursively found the entire probability density function of the target position and velocity by converting into linear convolution operations.

In this paper, variable threshold estimation algorithm for multiple vehicle detection RADAR is proposed and realized by using DSP for real time processing. The algorithm is developed to get the information of velocity and length of vehicles in multiple lanes by using FMCW RADAR. For real time operation, signal processing part is realized with a high speed DSP board to detect and manipulate the vehicle data and some experimental results are given to show the usefulness of the proposed technique.

Generally, discrete-time processing is applied to the uniformly-sampled signals. But, radars emit pulse trains with irregular time instances. In this paper, we formulate the radar pulse train as a stochastic discrete-time dynamic linear model. The estimation task can be done via linear signal processing using Kalman Filter and some considerations. As a result, we can estimate the pulse repetition interval of a pulse train and predict the time instances of the next pulses to be received.

The problem for parameters estimation of the received signals impinging on array sensors has long been of great research Interest in a great variety of applications, such as radar, sonar, and land mobile communications systems. Conventional subspace-based algorithms, such as MUSIC and ESPRIT, require an extensive computation of inverse matrix and eigen-decomposition In this paper, we propose a new parameters estimation algorithm via nonlinear minimization, which is simplified computationally and estimates signal parameters simultaneously.

In this paper, a transmitter and a receiver using a Gunn diode and SBD was designed and fabricated in X-band. This system detects Doppler shift signal reflected by moving target through the homodyne detection, which is Doppler radar sensor for the measurement of the velocity of moving target. By the experimental results, the oscillating condition of the transmitter was satisfied at about the half wavelength between the supporting post of the Gunn diode in the waveguide and the waveguide short. And using the fabricated Doppler radar sensor, the velocity measurement deviation of moving target was 1.24%.

For imaging of concrete specimens using radar, the principles of radar, microwave, and the electromagnetic properties of concrete are discussed. Experimental data obtained from radar measurement of concrete specimens with no steel bars at three different frequency bandwidths of 2~3.4 GHz, 3.4~5.8 GHz and 8~12 GHz are processed to determine the thickness of the specimens. A signal processing scheme has been implemented to visualize the concrete specimens. The purpose of this study is to determine particular frequency range appropriate for measuring the thickness of concrete specimens using radar.
