An Advanced Data Processing Algorithm for Extraction of Polarimetric Radar Signatures of Moving Automotive Vehicles Using the H/A/α Decomposition Technique

A dedicated signal and data processing chain is proposed for a fully polarimetric Doppler surveillance S-band radar to extract the polarimetric signatures of moving targets. To extract the target’s polarimetric features, detection, clustering, and tracking steps are realized for a multi-target environment in the range-Doppler domain. A dedicated...

Polarimetric Signatures of Moving Automotive Vehicles Based on H/A/α-decomposition: Preliminary Results with PARSAX Radar Data

Polarimetric radar responses from moving automotive targets are studied aiming at target classification using the polarimetric H/A/α-decomposition technique. A signal- and data processing chain has been proposed for the detection and tracking of targets in a multi-target environment in the range-Doppler domain. Polarimetric information of the...

Design and implementation of cross-channel interference suppression for polarimetric LFM-CW radar

This paper presents design and practical implementation of the method for cross-channel interference suppression in polarimetric LFM-CW radar with dual-orthogonal sounding signals. Simultaneously transmitted and received signals have limited orthogonality, what results in the interfering signals in the processing channels of the radar receiver....

Basics and first experiments demonstrating isolation improvements in the agile polarimetric FM-CW radar – PARSAX

The article describes the IRCTR PARSAX radar system, the S-band high-resolution Doppler polarimetric frequency modulated continuous wave (FM-CW) radar with dual-orthogonal sounding signals, which has the possibility to measure all elements of the radar target polarization scattering matrix simultaneously, in one sweep. The performance of such...
