Ocean surveillance is of great importance for protecting maritime interests, marine pollution monitoring and shipping management. Microwave sensing of the ocean using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is effective and of great interest because of the high spatial resolution, high precision information extraction capability and the almost instantaneous observation potential of large ocean areas. Airborne SAR can implement instantaneous detection to specific area, which is very valuable for emphasis marine area and emergency surveillance. In this paper, an airborne ocean surveillance SAR system is introduced and its application experiment results are demonstrated. Experiment results show the great potential of SAR in ocean applications.","PeriodicalId":245387,"journal":{"name":"2016 CIE International Conference on Radar (RADAR)","volume":"64 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126661490","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}

However, most papers concentrate on realising the integration function based existing phased array radar, while digital array radar is the main trend of future applications. Based on digital array radar, the signal detection scheme in conventional communications is not applicable any more for the sharply increased antennas. In this paper, we proposed a Gaussian approximate message passing based algorithm to detect the signal. The proposed method is naturally suitable for large-scale problems, which solves the issues by estimating the expectation and the variance. By just multiplication operations, the proposed algorithm exhibits fast convergence characteristics. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively solve the digital array radar based signal detection problem with reduced complexity, and outperforms the conventional linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) detector by 3dB-6dB.","PeriodicalId":245387,"journal":{"name":"2016 CIE International Conference on Radar (RADAR)","volume":"106 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116751266","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}

In this paper, a compensation method based on Bayesian compressive sensing (BCS) is proposed. Firstly, the reconstruction model containing the random phase errors is established. Subsequently, the phase errors is obtained using the maximum likelihood estimation, and then, the radar echo is compensated with the phase errors in time domain to focus the range profile. Experimental results based on simulation data demonstrated that the proposed method can produce a relatively well-focused range profile of target in terms of various signal to noise ratio (SNR) levels. Moreover, the comparison results indicate that the iteration number increased with the descending of SNR.","PeriodicalId":245387,"journal":{"name":"2016 CIE International Conference on Radar (RADAR)","volume":"50 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116823050","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 salient feature of the mainlobe cancellation technique is the maintenance of monopulse angle estimation accuracy while canceling a jammer within the main-beam. The technique is based on an orthogonal nulling concept where jamming is canceled in one angular domain and monopulse processing is carried out in another angular domain. This feature can also be described in terms of antenna product beam patterns where the common adapted beam patterns are canceled out leaving the monopulse ratios un-distorted. In this paper, we present some extensions of this technique for coping with multiple mainlobe and/or sidelobe jamming using the digital beamforming capability.","PeriodicalId":245387,"journal":{"name":"2016 CIE International Conference on Radar (RADAR)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129567080","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 new classifier separates the training sets into several regions, which are independent identically uniform distributed. Then, the category determination of testing target data is based on the support vectors and the region radial of the SVDD method with the multi-region data description. This method can work without the template of out-of-database samples, which improves the effectiveness of target identification.
