Measuring Radar Signatures of a Simple Pendulum using Cantenna Radar
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper gives a detailed analysis of the physics of simple pendulum and the equations governing the motion and velocity. The pendulum works in three modes: simple, damped and driving and driving only. The signatures are evaluated and simulated by the means of four different approaches: Euler method, Euler-Cromer method, 2 nd order Runge-kutta method and built-in ODE-23 matlab solver. The simulation results are compared to the measured radar signatures using a CANTENNA RADAR originally developed by MIT. The radar was operated in Doppler mode and the micro-Doppler effects associated with pendulum is studied. This paper attempts to provide an in-depth background and analysis of how the pendulum works and the associated micro-Doppler study using RADAR.

روشی جدید در بازشناسایی خودکار اهداف متحرک زمینی با استفاده از رادارهای مراقبت زمینی پالس داپلر
A new automatic target recognition algorithm to recognize and distinguish three classes of targets: personnel, wheeled vehicles and animals, is proposed using a low-resolution ground surveillance pulse Doppler radar. The Chirplet transformation, a time frequency signal processing technique, is implemented in this paper. The parameterized RADAR signal is then analyzed by the Zernike Moments (ZM)...
متن کاملRadar Signal Detection in K-distributed Clutter by Pade Approximation
In this paper, two suboptimum detectors are proposed for coherent radar signal detection in K-distributed clutter. Assuming certain values for several initial moments of clutter amplitude, the characteristic function of the clutter amplitude is approximated by a limited series. Using the Pade approximation, it is then converted to a rational fraction. Thus, the pdf of the clutter amplitude is o...

Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technology provides a useful tool for quantitatively measuring the deformation of the earth, influenced by natural factors (earthquake, subsidence, and landslide) and human factors (construction of structures, drilling, and the overexploitation of underground water aquifers). In this context, time-series analysis of radar images allows the monito...
