چکیده
An interferometric linear frequency modulated continuous wave (LFMCW) millimetre-wave radar is presented, along with the results of an experiment conducted to srudy the feasibility of using it in a ñirure millimetre-wave interferometric inverse synthetic aperture radar (InISAR) system. First, a description of the radar is given. Then, the signal processing chain is described, with special attention to the phase unwrapping technique. The interferometric phase is obtained by unwrapping the prominent target's phase in each antenna using a sliding frame processing technique. Cell migration issues in this method are also addressed. Simulations were carried out to illustrate and assess the processing chain and to show the effects of multipath echoes on the height measurement. In the real experiment, the range, speed and height of a moving target were tracked over consecutive inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) image frames, verifying the performance of the whole system.

We apply adaptive sensing techniques to the problem of locating sparse metallic scatterers using high-resolution, frequency modulated continuous wave W-band RADAR. Using a single detector, a frequency stepped source, and a lateral translation stage, inverse synthetic aperture RADAR reconstruction techniques are used to search for one or two wire scatterers within a specified range, while an ada...

This paper describes the waveform analysis for an experimental long-range (10 Km) high-resolution (1x1 m2) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensor in the millimetre wave band on board UAV. Motivated by the need to minimize the transmitted power and the volume filled by the sensor, it is proposed the use of a FMICW (Frequency Modulated Interrupted Continuous Wave) radar type. It also is provided a...
