Spaced receiver (SR) radars have shown clear advantages over conventional Doppler beam swinging radars for the measurements of wind profiles at high temporal and spatial resolution. Several effective techniques for wind and turbulence measurements have been developed (Holloway et al. 1997, Cohn et al. 1997). These techniques provide a solution to the diffraction problem by either directly assum...

[1] The Radio Aurora Explorer (RAX) satellite is the first of several satellites funded under the NSF CubeSat-based Space Weather and Atmospheric Research Program. RAX is a ground-to-space bi-static radar remote sensing experiment designed to measure and understand the causes of meter-scale ionospheric irregularities. Also known as field-aligned irregularities (FAI), such non-thermal, coherent ...

A MIMO radar system is conveniently modeled via random matrices, and its optimal design strongly relies on spectral properties of the matrix exploited to build the model itself. We offer a way to model a High Resolution Radar (HRR) detection in the MIMO case, based on recent results on the asymptotic spectral analysis of random Vandermonde matrices with entries lying on the unit circle. Achieva...
