Within framework of UKoLoS project the new Super Resolution Maximum Length Binary Sequence UWB Radar (M-sequence radar) was developed. The radar consists of an M-sequence generator, transmitter front-end, receiver front-end, data capturing device and data processing blocks, whose design responsibilities were carried out by four institutions. In this thesis the design and measurements of the dat...

The possibilities for using the pulsed time-of-flight (TOF) laser radar technique for hot refractory lining measurements are examined, and formulas are presented for calculating the background radiation collected, the achievable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and the measurement resolution. An experimental laser radar device is presented based on the use of a laser diode as a transmitter. Results...

The progression of phased array weather observations, research, and planning over the past decade has led to significant advances in development efforts for future weather radar technologies. However, numerous challenges still remain for large-scale deployment. The eventual goal for phased array weather radar technology includes the use of active arrays, where each element would have its own tr...

The experience, obtained in the local military conflicts during the past twenty years, shows persuasively that the radioelectronic war has great importance for the combat success. Due to this reason, the radiocommunication systems, including radars, are high priority targets. After finding of their location they are attacked immediately. For their destroying special intelligent rockets are desi...

A 910MHz high efficiency RF transceiver for Wireless Body Area Network in medical application is presented in this paper. High energy efficiency transmitter and receiver architectures are proposed. In wireless body sensor network, the transmitter must have higher efficiency compared with the receiver because a large amount of data is sent from sensor node to receiver of the base station and sma...

Preamble This is the final report to Lockheed Martin on the requirements for a phased array weather radar. Discussed herein are those meteorological requirements that need to be met by weather radars having either reflector type antennas or active phased array elements. These requirements impact the design of the antenna, the transmitter-receiver, and signal processor. Justifications for these ...

Some outcomes of a feasibility analysis of a spaceborne bistatic radar mission for soil moisture retrieval are presented in this paper. The study starts from the orbital design of the configuration suitable for soil moisture estimation identified in a previous study. This configuration is refined according to the results of an analysis of the spatial resolution. The paper focuses on the assessm...

The focus of this paper is on a technology development currently in progress under the NASA IIP called High Altitude Wind and Rain Profiling Radar (HIWRAP). This radar is a dual-frequency (Kaand Ku-band), dual-beam (30 and 40 incidence angle), conical scan, solid-state transmitter-based system, designed for operation on the high-altitude (20 km) Global Hawk UAV. HIWRAP is a progression of techn...

In order to reduce the influence of mutual interference between signals from different transmitters, novel orthogonal signals are designed for netted radar systems in this paper. Different stepped time interval pulse trains (STIPT) which are orthogonal are designed for spatially separated transmitting nodes. Because of the good autocorrelation and cross-correlation properties, mutual interferen...

Bistatic spaceborne/stratospheric synthetic aperture radar (SAR) with a fixed receiver is a novel hybrid bistatic SAR system, in which a spaceborne SAR serves as the transmitter of opportunity, while a fixed receiver is mounted on a stratospheric platform. This paper presents an integrative synchronization and imaging approach for this particular system. Firstly, a novel synchronization method ...
