MARSIS is a low frequency, pulse-limited radar sounder and altimeter selected by ESA as a payload of the Mars Express mission. The ionosphere affects MARSIS operation in terms of phase distortion, attenuation and Faraday rotation. The ionosphere fine compensation is obtained according to the uniform model, allowing, with the correctly compensated data, the production of MARSIS images at higher resolution. In this way it is possible to detect hidden interfaces never seen before due to MARSIS coarse vertical resolution.","PeriodicalId":424165,"journal":{"name":"2011 MICROWAVES, RADAR AND REMOTE SENSING SYMPOSIUM","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126452941","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}

On this basis, we study in this contribution the interaction between the radar's electromagnetic pulse and the human body layer in a UWB frequency range. Indeed, this study helps us to design this radar system and prove the possibility of taking an image of each human body layer by exploiting the several reflected echoes. In fact, we propose an analytic method that enables us to compute the reflected echo by the human body of an oblique incident radar pulse. This new method discards the mutual influence between two adjacent human body layers in order to retrieve a recursive expression that computes the total reflection and transmission coefficients by each human layer. Then, we induce the specific absorption rate of each human body structure. In the same vein, this result enables the designer to estimate the propagation medium of the human body. According to this study, we can realize a UWB radar in an attempt to capture an image of the intern human body structure and detect some dangerous infections like cancer.","PeriodicalId":424165,"journal":{"name":"2011 MICROWAVES, RADAR AND REMOTE SENSING SYMPOSIUM","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122789684","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 bandwidth of radar signal defines range resolution of any radar: the wider the spectrum the better the resolution. In noise radar with conventional processing the sounding and reference signals are to be digitized at intermediate frequency band and to be processed digitally. The power spectrum bandwidth of noise signal which can be digitized with ADC depends on its sampling rate. In currently available ADCs the faster is sampling rate the smaller is its depth (number of bits) available. Depth of the ADC determines relation between the smallest and highest observable signals and thus limits its dynamic range. Actually this is the main bottleneck of high resolution Noise Radars: conventional processing doesn't enable getting high range resolution and high dynamic range. In the paper we discuss ways to go around this drawback by changing signal processing ideology in noise radar. We present results of our consideration and design of two types of high resolution Noise Radar which uses slow ADCs: noise radar with digital generation of sounding signal and analog evaluation of cross-correlation and stepped frequency noise radar.
