The advantage of the D3LS technique is that it does not rely on any statistical information of the interference as opposed to conventional STAP algorithms. The modified version of D3LS when more than one target is in a radar scenario will be discussed. This is equivalent to forming multiple beams simultaneously while suppressing all other interference at the radar receiver. Numerical simulations show that multiple beams are directed towards target directions correctly and maintain their gain constraints along those directions such that the target signal intensities or complex amplitudes can be estimated.","PeriodicalId":367078,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Radar Conference","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115971623","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}

Firstly, the array received signals are projected onto the orthogonal subspace corresponding to interference to suppress interferences. Then the interference free signals are further processed by a conventional data-independent beamforming to enhance the GPS direct-path signal and mitigate GPS multipath signals.

In this paper, the issue of range super-resolution based on the returns from a single pulse is addressed. Aspects of super-resolution are investigated for the adaptive pulse compression algorithm and least-squares estimation relative to the nominal resolution provided by the standard matched filter. Performance is ascertained for both continuous and discrete waveforms of commensurate nominal resolution via simulation. Diagonal loading of both super-resolution approaches is discussed as a means to provide robustness to moderate matrix ill-conditioning that can occur when waveforms are over-sampled.","PeriodicalId":367078,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Radar Conference","volume":"176 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116473717","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 threat in a complex environment with interfering signals requires a reliable signal generation with proper frequency agility and efficient gain controls in receiver units. This is quite cumbersome to achieve in analog domain. Due to digital technology advancements, it is possible to have efficient and high performance Analog-to-Digital converters (ADC),processors, high-density memories and efficient algorithms to realize highly reliable, flexible and upgradeable exciters and receivers. In this design, exciter unit comprises of various digital modules for waveform generation, clocks and synchronization signal generation for different sub-systems of the radar and digital code generation for the frequency to be synthesized. These codes are used to control the Local Oscillators (LOs) output utilized for the up-conversion. In the Receiver unit main focus is on the digital implementation of gain control like sensitivity-time-control (STC), Generation of various controls required by Synthetic noise generator and Automatic Gain Control (AGC) and Digital amplitude Phase Demodulation (DAPD) of down-converted sampled intermediate frequency (IF) signals. This work projects the digital design methodology behind the various modules identified for the Radar Signal Generation and Receiver units. The main highlight of the paper is that the entire design models described are implemented using digital methods using FPGAs. The Xilinx System Generator (XSG) design tool is used to accomplish this, which generates directly the code for a Xilinx FPGA on a target board.","PeriodicalId":367078,"journal":{"name":"2007 IEEE Radar Conference","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125907001","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}
