Radar Clutter Modelling and Coherent Target Detection

2. Course format and dates The course is given in five days over a week period, intensive format, followed by a further three weeks follow up sessions of five hours per week to be organized by using videoconference tools, such as Skype or others. The student assessment is organized into two tests: 1) solutions of assigned drill problems; 2) three hours examination. During the intensive five-day course, practical sessions also with the use of MATLAB will be interleaved with classic lectures. Practical sessions are intended to strengthen the understanding of the theory and are based on programming and running routines that implement algorithms that are explained during the lectures. The student will familiarize with the problems and will understand how to set system parameters to achieve desired performances. Follow up sessions will aim at 1. providing support for solving the assigned drill problems; 2. providing further clarifications about course topics; 3. giving specific seminars on topics related to assigned drill problems.
