polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (pol.-sar) allows us to implement the recognition and classification of radar targets. this article investigates the arrangement of scatterers by sar data and proposes a new look-up table of region (ltr). this look-up table is based on the combination of (entropy h/anisotropy a) and (anisotropy a/scattering mechanism α), which has not been reported up now. ...

A new algorithm is proposed for phased array radar search function resource allocation. The proposed algorithm adaptively priorities radar search regions and in overload situations, based on available resources, radar characteristics, maximum range and search regions, optimally allocates radar resources in order to maximize probability of detection. The performance of new algorithm is evaluated...

In this paper, radar detection based on Monte Carlo sampling is studied. Two detectors based on Importance Sampling are presented. In these detectors, called Particle Detector, the approximated likelihood ratio is calculated by Monte Carlo sampling. In the first detector, the unknown parameters are first estimated and are substituted in the likelihood ratio (like the GLRT method). In the sec...

Netted radar employs several spatially distributed transmitters and receivers for information retrieval. This system topology offers many advantages over traditional monostatic and bistatic systems which use a single transmitter and a single receiver. For example, it provides better utilization of reflected energy, more flexible system arrangement and enhanced information retrieval capability. ...

To explore the feasibility of radar-based extreme precipitation climatologies, prototype radar areal reduction factor (ARF) curves are developed and compared to those based on traditional rain gauge networks. For both the radar and gauge data, increasing the spatial density of observations has little influence on the ARF relationship. However, independently, considerable differences between rad...

A linear array radar can be operated as a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar or a directed beam radar. A MIMO radar transmits orthogonal waveforms on each array element, which can achieve virtual aperture extension. Compared to a directed beam radar, MIMO radar requires longer integration times to maintain the same energy on target. This results in narrower Doppler bins but increased r...
