Limitations of Radar Coordinates
نویسنده
چکیده
The construction of a radar coordinate system about the world line of an observer is discussed. Radar coordinates for a hyperbolic observer as well as a uniformly rotating observer are described in detail. The utility of the notion of radar distance and the admissibility of radar coordinates are investigated. Our results provide a critical assessment of the physical significance of radar coordinates.

Radar Measurement and Tracking
While radar search and target detection are essential to radar use, most applications also require measurement of target characteristics. These may include target position and velocity, as described in Sections 8.1 through 8.3, and indicators of target size, shape and rotation, as described in Section 8.4. The use of multiple radar to improve measurement accuracy is discussed in Section 8.5. Co...
متن کاملTopics in Mitigating Radar Bias
In this paper, we investigate two topics related to mitigating the effect of radar bias in ballistic missile tracking applications. We determine the absolute bias between two radars in polar coordinates when their relative bias is given in rectangular coordinates. Using this result, we then obtain the optimized steady-state filter to handle the random bias.
متن کاملA shoreline-estimation system using remote radar sensing and image-processing techniques
This paper proposes a radar-based sensing system that estimates the coordinates for shorelines based on image-processing techniques. The proposed system provides shore estimations without appreciable loss of resolution and avoids the costs associated with bathymetries and/or satellite images. The system is comprised of a commercial radar, a GPS, and a heading sensor, which communicates to a cen...
متن کاملSegmentation of Road Edges from a Vehicle-mounted Imaging Radar
This work treats a problem arising in intelligent vehicles and highway systems (IVHS), specifically in automatic road following,collisionavoidance, and maneuver control. A millimeter-wave radar is placed on the front of the vehicle and an image of the radar backscatter of the terrain is acquired in polar coordinates. This image contains both road and offroad scatter components which must be seg...
متن کاملMultiple target three-dimensional coordinate estimation for bistatic MIMO radar with uniform linear receive array
A novel scheme to achieve three-dimensional (3D) target location in bistatic radar systems is evaluated. The proposed scheme develops the additional information of the bistatic radar, that is the transmit angles, to estimate the 3D coordinates of the targets by using multiple-input multiple-output techniques with a uniform circular array on transmit and a uniform linear array on receive. The tr...
