This paper studies two-dimensional ADBF methods at subarray level. We present the signal model of two-dimension ADBF at subarray level. Generalizing ADBF applied to one-dimension linear array to phased array at subarray level, we can obtain two-dimension ADBF at subarray level, but its limitation is that adaptive processing makes the SLL (sidelobe level) of the pattern increase remarkably. Therefore, we present two-dimensional ADBF at subarray level based on normalization. This method can obtain adaptive pattern the same as quiescent pattern for the case of absence of jammer and non-overlapped subarrays, while improve the SLL of the adaptive pattern remarkably in presence of jammers.

The method takes advantages of different statistical behaviors among ships and surrounding ocean, interpreting the information through the convolution in order to provide a more reliable detection. The simulations show that the convolution is sensitive to the size and shape of ships not to sea state. The method can be used under high sea state and have no relation to the movement of ships. Moreover, the method is general which is not only suitable for dual polarization data but also for full polarization data. The detection performance over both simulated and real images confirms the robustness of the method.","PeriodicalId":113164,"journal":{"name":"2006 7th International Symposium on Antennas, Propagation & EM Theory","volume":"111 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121510560","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Expressions are obtained for the tow-point correlation function of the complex amplitude (i.e., the atmospheric MTF) and for the more general function, the tow-point two-wavelength correlation function of the complex amplitude. A cardinal set of measurement procedures naturally derives from these two functions that enable both the integrated strength and the average structure function of the turbulence in a propagation path to be characterized. The measurement procedures are based on certain key properties of point-object images; properties that carry the essential information about the integrated effects of all mechanisms in the propagation path that affect the wavefronts. These mechanisms can include, but are not limited to, atmospheric turbulence, boundary layer turbulence, thermal blooming, telescope aberrations, and the (corrective) effects of adaptive optics. The measurement procedures enable full end-to-end characterization of the entire propagation path between object and image. They take account of amplitude scintillation as phase variation in the wavefronts. Once the entire path has been characterized, a wavelength region can be identified that leads to optimum resolution from large ground-based astronomical telescopes. For HEL system, use of optimum wavelengths leads maximum irradiance at the target and maximum target lethality range. Large performance improvements are attained by use of optimum rather than non-optimum wavelengths.","PeriodicalId":113164,"journal":{"name":"2006 7th International Symposium on Antennas, Propagation & EM Theory","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127646980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
