For the determination of the insideness of points in polygons, a simple generalization of the commonly used zero winding and even-odd rules is presented, and, building thereupon, a point-in-polygon algorithm based on the binary addressing of quad-tree nodes and prefix hashing. Subsequently, an octree-based high-performance algorithm for the intersection of rays with polygonal meshes is presented. For all of the presented methods, tests and performance analyses were conducted that confirm the low theoretical runtime complexity. The methods are in practical use in the PHOENIX radar data processing system.","PeriodicalId":113942,"journal":{"name":"2008 Tyrrhenian International Workshop on Digital Communications - Enhanced Surveillance of Aircraft and Vehicles","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124891521","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}

Advantages and disadvantages of operation in the Ka-band with respect to a shorter one, i.e. the W-band, are discussed. It is shown that in the Ka-band the coherent operation regime can be realized. This regime enables one not only to essentially reduce the radiation power to the level provided by the available semiconductor devices, but also to perform moving target detection on a interference created by reflections from surface objects and rain as well as to perform automatic classification of targets according to their radial velocity of movement. Main performance specifications, principle of operation, and design of the innovative antenna developed for the radar are described in details. The results of the field tests confirm the predicted radar operation characteristics. The radars of the proposed type can find use as radar-sensors for systems of airport surface monitoring.","PeriodicalId":113942,"journal":{"name":"2008 Tyrrhenian International Workshop on Digital Communications - Enhanced Surveillance of Aircraft and Vehicles","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115029437","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}

The possibility to locate radar emitters avoiding transmission is crucial in a variety of military applications, in particular when a flying platform (aircraft or helicopter) is entering in an unknown (and potentially hostile) area. Elettronica SpA (ELT) gave start in 2004 to an experimental campaign in this field with the support and the collaboration of the Italian Ministry of Defence (MoD). In this contest the following activities have been carried out (1)theoretical study (with analytically derived and simulated results) of a passive location algorithm (2)design and development of a passive location demonstrator (PLD) qualified for flight (3) field tests (July 2006) performed in Sardegna (Salto di Quirra). This article presents the passive location algorithm selected for field tests with analytical performance prediction. The PLD and the field tests are described and main results are reported.
