Since the classical receivers may exhibit severe performance degradations in the presence of steering vector mismatches and sidelobe interfering signals, we try to account for the quoted drawbacks, very usual in realistic radar scenarios, at the design stage. To this end we first characterize the set where the useful received signal may lie and its complement, i.e. the set which may contain the signals to be rejected. Then we resort to the generalized likelihood ratio (GLR) principle and devise detectors capable of operating in the presence of array response mismatches and sidelobe interfering signals.","PeriodicalId":124475,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Radar Symposium","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128017488","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}

Morrison","doi":"10.1109/IRS.2006.4338073","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/IRS.2006.4338073","url":null,"abstract":"A stepped-frequency continuous wave (SF-CW) synthetic aperture radar (SAR), with frequency-agile waveforms and real-time intelligent signal processing algorithms, is proposed for operation from a lightweight UAV platform. An SF-CW radar offers some distinct advantages over a pulsed radar. It measures the frequency response of the scene across a set of discrete frequencies over the bandwidth of interest, at each element position along the synthetic aperture. This means the individual frequency measurements are low power, but which are then integrated to simulate a much higher-power pulsed system. This is a cost effective way of providing radars with a low probability of interception (LPI), operating across wide frequency bands to obtain high image resolutions. In contrast, pulsed radars require large peak powers. Low power operation, and associated simple SF-CW circuitry, provides significant savings in the mass and size of the SAR sensor. To alleviate any bandwidth restrictions imposed by the spatial sampling requirements along the aperture, an approach is outlined using frequency randomised waveforms which allows the bandwidth to be greatly under-sampled before the appearance of significant sampling artefacts. This also provides benefits to the LPI performance of the radar. For a fixed transmit power, omission of frequencies naturally produces a decrease in target signal. However, an intelligent frequency selection scheme is proposed to alleviate signal drop-off, such that signals can be maintained 3dB above the level that might otherwise be expected.","PeriodicalId":124475,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Radar Symposium","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-05-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114543267","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}
