The berthing of large ships in inclement weather with frequently poor visibility presents a challenge. To assist with this application, it may be beneficial to utilise standard radar imaging. Whilst this may be achieved using a mechanically-scanned system, reliability, cost and weight issues, coupled with the need to primarily image only a 120◦ sector on the port and starboard of the ship, make...

Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar is a new radar system and draws more and more attentions in recent years. Along with the development of MIMO radar, the MIMO radar countermeasure is brought into being. Since the modulation recognition is of great significance in the electronic reconnaissance, this article presents a modulation recognition method for the signals of the emerging MIMO r...

Scientists have explored that WiMAX has the potential to enhance the performance of the radar networks. With the idea of implementing MIMO (multi-input multi-output) communication technology for overcoming the challenges offered by hostile channel and environmental effects.It leads the technocrats to utilize this technology in radar operations. WiMAX MIMO can exploit the range of WiMAX and the ...

This paper proposes the use of ultrasonic microscale subarrayed MIMO RADARs to estimate the position of breast cancer nodes. The transmit and receive antenna arrays are divided into subarrays. In order to increase the signal diversity each subarray is assigned a different waveform from an orthogonal set. High-frequency ultrasonic transducers are used since a breast is considered to be a superfi...

In recent years, multiple-input multiple output (MIMO) radar has been widespread concern in the domestic and foreign researchers. Bistatic radar draws on the great success of MIMO technology in the communications field and it has many advantages over conventional radar. In this paper, the direction angles estimations of bistatic MIMO radar are researched. To contrast traditional radar DOA estim...

Several works have suggested that a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) radar system offers improvement in terms of performance in comparison with classical phased-array radar. However, under the widely spread assumption of a uniform a priori distribution for one parameter of interest, there is no result concerning lower bounds on the meansquare error in the case of a Gaussian observation model wit...

The Air Force Office of Scientific Research supported the research on MIMO radar carried out at the New Jersey Institute of Technology during the period from December 2005 to November 2008 under the agreement number FA9550-06-1-0026. The purpose of this report is to summarize the proceedings and findings of the studies supported by this agreement. Starting with a short introduction, this report...

Inspired by recent advances in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) communications, this proposal introduces the statistical MIMO radar concept. To our knowledge, this is the first time that the statistical MIMO is being proposed for radar. The fundamental difference between statistical MIMO and other radar array systems is that the latter seek to maximize the coherent processing gain, while s...

The National Weather Radar Testbed (NWRT) phased array radar will not be operated in fixed volume coverage patterns. Instead, the phased array radar will attempt to simultaneously maximize the utility of several possible uses, such as 3D storm analysis, area surveillance and aircraft tracking. In order to do so, the phased array radar will employ adaptive scanning and intersperse meteorological...
