Time-correlation analysis of a class of nonstationary signals with an application to radar imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
A new method of nonstationary signal analysis, called time-correlation analysis (TCA), is applied to a class of nonstationary random signals containing time distortion. The method reveals a relationship between the TCA summary statistics and the distortion and leads to two nonparametric estimators for the distortion function. An example is given that demonstrates the application of the TCA method to motion compensation problems in radar imaging.

A New Algorithm for the Deinterleaving of Radar Pulses
This paper presents a new algorithm for the deinterleaving of radar signals, based on the direction of arrival (DOA), carrier frequency (RF), and time of arrival (TOA). The algorithm is applied to classic (constant), jitter, staggered, and dwell switch pulse repetition interval (PRI) signals. This algorithm consists of two stages. In the first stage, a Kohonen neural network clusters the receiv...
متن کاملISAR Image Improvement Using STFT Kernel Width Optimization Based On Minimum Entropy Criterion
Nowadays, Radar systems have many applications and radar imaging is one of the most important of these applications. Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) is used to form an image from moving targets. Conventional methods use Fourier transform to retrieve Doppler information. However, because of maneuvering of the target, the Doppler spectrum becomes time-varying and the image is blurred. Joi...

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 کاملApplication of Model-Based Estimation to Time-Delay Estimation of Ultrasonic Testing Signals
Time-Delay-Estimation (TDE) has been a topic of interest in many applications in the past few decades. The emphasis of this work is on the application of model-based estimation (MBE) for TDE of ultrasonic signals used in ultrasonic thickness gaging. Ultrasonic thickness gaging is based on precise measurement of the time difference between successive echoes which reflect back from the back wall ...

The matched filter in the radar receiver is only adapted to the transmitted signal version and its output will be wasted due to non-matching with the received signal from the environment. The sidelobes amplitude of the matched filter output in pulse compression radars are dependent on the transmitted coded waveforms that extended as much as the length of the code on both sides of the target loc...
