As such, they have obvious application as frequency indexing sequences in radar and communications when long codes with bounded autocorrelation are required or when Doppler is a significant portion of the transmitted bandwidth. All Costas arrays for orders less than 25 are known, with those for N=24 disclosed in the paper. Higher orders are found through number-theoretic generators and partial searches.","PeriodicalId":268965,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 IEEE Radar Conference (IEEE Cat.

It is found that the UMPI test does not exist for such a problem. In our detector, we apply an appropriate linear transformation, which is a unitary filter bank, to the concerned radar signal and the problem is converted to the canonical form. Since the UMPI test does exist for the canonical form, then we derive an optimal invariant test for our problem.","PeriodicalId":268965,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 IEEE Radar Conference (IEEE Cat.

The performance of the subarray-based joint-domain-localized (JDL) algorithm is first examined for various processor parameters. Then, a combined beam-domain STAP algorithm approach that combines JDL with difference (/spl Delta/) beams is presented. It is shown that the combined JDL-/spl Delta/ algorithms offer less system complexity and yield performance similar to that of JDL that uses higher degrees of freedom. It is also shown that the Earth's rotation induces a crab angle to the platform, which makes the clutter range-Doppler spectrum vary with range. Illustrative examples show that this crab angle severely degrades the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR), thereby reducing the minimum detectable velocity (MDV) of STAP systems.","PeriodicalId":268965,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 IEEE Radar Conference (IEEE Cat.

ATAFS introduces a spatially variant modification of the SAR phase history storage format to remove the formatting inaccuracies of the conventional polar format algorithm and enables full image quality over large scenes without range curvature distortion or image defocus. These new algorithms are well-suited for processing fine resolution spotlight and ultra-wideband SAR data. Their image quality performance is comparable to that of the range migration algorithm (RMA). Unlike RMA, the new algorithms operate on data stabilized to a fixed reference point to remove the azimuth chirp (the Doppler bandwidth of the reference point) before it compromises processor efficiency.","PeriodicalId":268965,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 2004 IEEE Radar Conference (IEEE Cat.

It is a computationally modest implementation of maximum likelihood estimation and has no error propagation effect.
