The retrieval of cloud, drizzle, and turbulence parameters using radar Doppler spectra is challenged by the convolution of microphysical and dynamical influences and the overall uncertainty introduced by turbulence. A new technique that utilizes recorded radar Doppler spectra from profiling cloud radars is presented here. The technique applies to areas in clouds where drizzle is initially produ...

The superiority of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radars over conventional radars has been recently shown in many aspects. These radars consist of many transmitters and receivers located far from each other. In this scenario, the MIMO radar is able to observe the targets from different directions. One of the advantages of these radars is exploitation of Doppler frequencies from different...

Shape estimation of space debris, or the fragments of satellites and rocket bodies left on the earth’s orbit is an important task in evaluating its danger of a possible collision with operational spacecraft. A method of imaging a space debris whose size is smaller than the range resolution of the radar is proposed. It is called Single Range Doppler Interferometry (SRDI) in contrast to the conve...

This paper presents a new approach to calculate the 1– 4th order Doppler parameters for Geosynchronous Synthetic Aperture Radar (Geo-SAR). To get accurate calculation results, the Earth is modeled as an ellipsoid and the relative motion between the sensor in an elliptical orbit and the rotating Earth is analyzed. The J2, J3 and J4 orbital perturbation items and attitude steering are analyzed. I...

There is a basic constraint imposed on radar measurements when the transmitted signal is a simple, CW pulse. As a result, the radardesigner may wish to use a more complex signal and thereby extract more information from an echoing object. Unfortunately, the processed returns of the sophisticated waveforms usually consist of a peak response and small adjacent responses (called "time sidelobes") ...

In many countries wind turbines are rapidly growing in numbers as the demand for energy from renewable sources increases. The continued deployment of wind turbines can, however, be problematic for many radar systems, which are easily disturbed by turbines located in the radar line of sight. Wind turbines situated in the vicinity of Doppler weather radars can lead to erroneous precipitation esti...

A lot of progress has been made for automotive radar during the last years. There are two types of automotive radar; “long-range radar at 77GHz with a range capability up to 200m“ for automatic cruise control (ACC) and “short-range radar at 24/26 and 79GHz up to 30m“ for anti-collision. Long radar with narrow radiation beam enables a automobile to maintain a cruising distance, while short-range...
