Multi-offset, single-hole, borehole-radar reflection surveys were conducted at the U.S. Geological Survey Fractured Rock Research Site at Mirror Lake, in Grafton County, New Hampshire. The study was conducted to evaluate the benefits of applying multi-offset seismic processing techniques to borehole-radar reflection surveys in fractured rock. The multi-offset reflection surveys were conducted i...

Anti-collision radars are used in automobiles applications to prevent accidents of vehicles by detecting obstacles in front of the vehicles. Generally the correlation radars are used for this purpose, which compute the distance and the relative speed between the vehicles, but problem is that the correlation radars are not capable to measure the angle. In this paper, we are presenting a VHDL des...

One of the most important functions of a radar antenna is to provide spatial filtering that maximizes the radar's sensitivity in the desired sUIveillance direction while suppressing interference signals that enter the radar from other directions. This article describes a UHF radar antenna systemwith exceptional interference-rejection capabilities that are achieved through a combination of preci...

In this lecture, we provide an overview of some recent algorithms for radar waveform design. We first illustrate the concept of matched illumination for optimized target detection and identification. This theory derives the optimized transmission signal and the corresponding receiver response which maximizes the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR). The second part of the lecture is focused on waveform ...

In 2002, the MASAR (Malaysian Airborne Synthetic Aperture Radar) project was initiated at Multimedia University (MMU), in collaboration with the Malaysian Centre for Remote Sensing (MACRES). The main objective of this project is to construct an instrument for earth resource monitoring in Malaysia. The proposed SAR system is a C-band, single polarization, linear frequency modulation radar. Befor...

RAX-2 is a 3U CubeSat that is studying the formation of plasma irregularities in the ionosphere. The primary payload is a UHF radar receiver which is used in conjunction with ground-based incoherent scatter radar stations to characterize the irregularities. RAX is the first CubeSat funded by the United States National Science Foundation’s Small Satellite Program for Space Weather Research. The ...

In this paper, we propose a multi-beam and multi-range (MBMR) radar with frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) waveform and digital beam forming (DBF) algorithm to cover a detection area of long range and narrow angle (150 m, ±10◦) as well as short range and wide angle (60 m, ±30◦) as a single 24 GHz sensor. The developed radar is highly integrated with multiple phased-array antennas, a tw...

The designing of a continuous wave radar radar (CW) intended for remote counting of traf fic (remote traffic counter) and speed measurement of transport means with the help of high speed trajectories in the radar beam for long range transferring of these data is considered. It was experimen tally shown that, for recording the current number of transport means and measuring the speed of each of ...

We introduce a full hardware implementation and demo of a sub-Nyquist radar receiver. Our system demonstrates pulse-Doppler radar transmission and reception at sub-Nyquist rates. Specifically, we sample the received radar signal at 1/20 the Nyquist rate, while still perfectly detecting the targets in the delayDoppler plane. In addition our system filters clutter interference from the sub-Nyquis...
