Target reader group are engineering students who want to perform tests using pulsed or chirped signals. Current Radar development is focusing the area of signal processing. This is taken into account by this educational note, where the R&S® SMW / SMBV instruments on the transmitter side and R&S®FSW / FSV instruments on the receiver side are combined to a closed loop Radar system, performing rad...

For a multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar system adopting the Neyman-Pearson (NP) criterion, a detection algorithm for MIMO radar with arbitrarily correlated observation channels in the presence of possible Non-Gaussian clutter-plusnoise is analyzed. Simulation results show that both the correlation of the observation channels and the correlation of the clutter-plus-noise will reduce th...

Cognitive radar is a new framework of radar system proposed by Simon Haykin recently. Adaptive waveform selection is an important problem of intelligent transmitter in cognitive radar. In this paper, the problem of adaptive waveform selection is modeled as stochastic dynamic programming model. Then Q-learning is used to solve it. Q-learning can solve the problems that we do not know the explici...

Researchers have recently proposed a widely separated multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar using monopulse angle estimation techniques for target tracking. The widely separated antennas provide improved tracking performance by mitigating complex target radar cross-section fades and angle scintillation. An adaptive array is necessary in this paradigm because the direct path from any trans...

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. ...

In this paper, we present a wideband on-chip K-band RF front-end including a transmitter and receiver for vehicular FMCW radar applications using 0.18μm CMOS process. To achieve wideband performance, an RC feedback circuit is applied to the input stage of amplifiers, as well as wideband passive circuits such as Marchand type baluns and Wilkinson type power dividers to the mixer LO port and tran...

In April 1961 radar contact with Venus was established in the Soviet Union. A transmitter and receiver at about 700 Mc/s were used in conjunction with an analysing and integrating system which enabled both the range of the planet and the Doppler spread in the returned signals to be determined. From the range data a new value of the astronomical unit is found; from the Doppler spread it is deduc...

A bistatic radar network that consists of multiple separated radar transmitters (TXs) and receivers (RXs), aiming to detect a target on a set of points of interest (PoIs) is considered. The detection range of a bistatic radar depends on both locations of the TX and RX. The design of the bistatic radar network is investigated by studying the problem of optimally placing a number of radar transmi...

Doppler radar can be implemented for sensing physiological parameters wirelessly at a distance. Detecting respiration rate, an important human body parameter, is essential in a range of applications like emergency and military healthcare environments, and Doppler radar records actual chest motion. One challenge in using Doppler radar is being able to monitor several patients simultaneously and ...

This paper describes a low-cost ultrasonic fusion system for angular position. It makes use of two omnidirectional microphones together with one ultrasonic transmitter. The system enables the determination of the transmitter with respect to the two omni-directional microphones. The technique used for the estimation of the incident angle è is the sum-and-difference monopulse method.
