The rapid growth of autonomous vehicle technology puts a demand on sensors, precision, and affordability. The latest navigation and avionics trends lead to miniaturization, highly appreciated in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications. In particular, low cost, small size, and high precision of remote sensors find a wide range of applications in civilian and military domains (e.g., autonomous delivery systems, driving assistance systems, self-driving cars, military surveillance missiles, or fire guidance, among others). The SAR sensor presented in this paper was designed to be a small and affordable radar sensor dedicated to small UAV platforms and radar imaging. System architecture and a brief description of the signal processing algorithms are illustrated in this paper. The utility of the system is supported by preliminary results from ground-based and airborne trials.","PeriodicalId":380515,"journal":{"name":"2021 Signal Processing Symposium (SPSympo)","volume":"140 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114333308","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 the distance range between the target and antenna can be known previously, the waveform delay dictionary is proposed in this paper to construct the transform matrix of compressive sensing (CS). The target HRRP can be reconstructed by solving the optimization problem. Simulations are conducted and the results indicate that the proposed waveform delay dictionary shows good HRRP reconstruction performance in anechoic chamber for the target measurement.","PeriodicalId":380515,"journal":{"name":"2021 Signal Processing Symposium (SPSympo)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128994434","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}

Efficient instabilities detection during compressor operation is a challenge of utmost importance from economical and safety point of view. The most sensitive detection is possible with use of a pressure signal from inside of the compressor because specific pressure patterns are the first symptoms of instabilities. Detection of aerodynamic instabilities results in specific challenges, as the pressure signal is often very noisy and contains high amount of randomness. Surge - most severe instability, can develop very quickly. Therefore, the method of detection should be sensitive but also robust and quick. Another common instability, inlet recirculation is less dangerous, but it results in decrease of efficiency, which is to be avoided. Inlet recirculation often happens before surge, thus its presence can be used for surge proximity detection. The aim of this study is to investigate and compare the performance of two non-linear processing methods - Empirical Mode Decomposition (EMD) and Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) in the context of aerodynamic instabilities detection - inlet recirculation and surge. The comparison focuses on the robustness, sensitivity and pace of detection - crucial parameters for a successful detection method. It is shown that both methods perform similarly within the analyzed bounds for both instabilities. A slight advantage of SSA may be noticed for surge due to lower dispersion of the indicator value for the same conditions.","PeriodicalId":380515,"journal":{"name":"2021 Signal Processing Symposium (SPSympo)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127991207","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 general, AS assumes the use of given irregular sampling grid according to limitations of signal source, however in domains such as geology, astronomy, meteorology or medicine data appear in not a priori known irregular intervals. The representative of more predictable category is the ECG: (1) the local bandwidth of the signal is modulated by properties of conducting tissue, (2) the bandwidth is related to wave borders which may be precisely delineated with existing methods, and (3) there is strong need for storage efficiency since all recorders worldwide produce daily ca. 600TB of data with expected average storage time of order of 40 years. Unfortunately direct processing of non-uniformly sampled time series is rarely applied due to lack of appropriate methods. In this paper we propose a distance metric and demonstrate its utility to minimum-distance classification of 1-D non-uniform signal strips such as heart beats. The method is based on graph representation of data sequence and does not require inputs other than detection point witnessing the beat occurrence. The classification error and computational complexity both are greater than in the case of uniform patterns, however the proposed algorithm is sampling model independent and may also be applied to uniform data.","PeriodicalId":380515,"journal":{"name":"2021 Signal Processing Symposium (SPSympo)","volume":"483 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132161682","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}

To face signal level problems, a processing scheme combining reconstructed reference signals, adaptive filtering techniques and spatial filtering is implemented. Conventional beamforming techniques are used to increase target echo level before the detection stage, and high resolution DoA estimation techniques are applied to estimate targets' azimuth. Tacking into account the system geometry, range and azimuth information, ground targets can be located. Real radar data is used to analyse system operation.
