The method accounts for the antenna dispersion in the case of not too wide radiation pattern and considerably improves situation with unwanted multiply reflections between antennas and ground surface. It has been found that from the properties of peaks in the radar range profile (amplitude, the form of change from a minimum to a maximum) one can estimate the difference in contrast of the buried object and surrounding medium. It allows evaluating properties of the object approximately if the permittivity of the ground is known.","PeriodicalId":124475,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Radar Symposium","volume":"41 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":"116617628","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}

For interpretation of the observed data extended composite model of the sea surface is suggested. In contrast to the standard two scale composite model, based on the Bragg theory, extended composite model involves the non-resonant components, describing contribution of the large scale breaking waves (\"macro-breaking\") and contribution of the sharp-crested waves of the meso-scale (decimeter) spectrum (\"micro-breaking\").

We assume that the target is a Swerling I target fluctuation model.

It is known that the neglection of across-track accelerations can bias the estimates of along-track velocities, but up to now it is unknown which vehicle accelerations appear in real traffic scenarios. On this account an experiment to measure accelerations was conducted. The acceleration measurement results, which are presented and discussed in this paper, imply that accelerations must not be neglected in the along- track velocity estimation step if accurate estimates are required. Finally, some basic ideas are given which enable a reliable separation of along-track velocity and across- track acceleration and so improve the estimation accuracy.","PeriodicalId":124475,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Radar Symposium","volume":"34 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":"133738167","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}

As a result of the randomness, the ambiguity function fluctuates between different realizations. A full characteerization includes its statistical distribution but often second orders staatistics are sufficient. The ambiguity function is then described as a sum of its average and a noise component defining a noise floor. The average value includes in the integrand a time-scaled version of the autocorrelation function of the random waveform, while the variance of the ambiguity function defines the noise floor of the side lobes. Particularly useful in characterizing the ambiguity function of a random waveform is the second moment statistics describing the sum of the squared aveerage and the variance. Formulations are developed analytically for Gaussian waveforms, phase-modulation by continuous Gaussian noise and randomized step frequency radar.","PeriodicalId":124475,"journal":{"name":"2006 International Radar Symposium","volume":"1 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":"114112949","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}
