چکیده
VOLUME 10, NUMBER 2, 1997 THE LINCOLN LABORATORY JOURNAL 203 L played a major role in developing wideband radar systems. This development was motivated by the successful application of high-power instrumentation radars to research in ballistic missile defense and satellite surveillance. Today’s wideband imaging radars perform real-time discrimination and target identification. Advanced signal processing methods have improved the resolution of processed radar return signals, further improving wideband-radar technology. Figure 1 illustrates a ballistic missile defense environment that relies on accurate target identification and size-shape estimation, two capabilities critical to many areas of national defense. The primary goal of a defensive radar system is to intercept and destroy a threat target. This objective is complicated by the presence of many objects in the radar field of view, some purposefully designed to deceive radar discrimination algorithms. Decoys, for example, may have radar cross section (RCS) levels similar to those of the warhead, which makes robust target selection based solely on RCS levels difficult.

Windowing Effects of Short Time Fourier Transform on Wideband Array Signal Processing Using Maximum Likelihood Estimation
During the last two decades, Maximum Likelihood estimation (ML) has been used to determine Direction Of Arrival (DOA) and signals propagated by the sources, using narrowband array signals. The algorithm fails in the case of wideband signals. As an attempt by the present study to overcome the problem, the array outputs are transformed into narrowband frequency bins, using short time Fourier tran...

متن کاملCoding, Modulation, and Detection for Power-Efficient Low-Complexity Receivers in Impulse-Radio Ultra-Wideband Transmission Systems
Impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) is a promising transmission scheme, especially for short-range low-data-rate communications, as, e.g., in wireless-sensor networks. One of the main reasons for this is its potential to employ noncoherent, hence low-complexity, receivers even in dense multipath propagation scenarios, where channel estimation required for coherent detection would be overly co...
متن کاملOn the achievable rates of ultra-wideband PPM with non-coherent detection in multipath environments
In this work we investigate the achievable rates of ultra-wideband (UWB) systems using a m-ary pulse position modulation (PPM) with non-coherent receivers in multipath fading environments. We derive a random coding bound on the achievable information rates and highlight the influence of system parameters (bandwidth, delay spread). We also investigate the effect of the use of hard decisions prio...
