van der Geugten, Gerald (author)In this thesis a deterministic wave model is used to reconstruct and predict the sea surface motion from FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) radar data, produced by Radac. The deterministic model that is used to do this is based on the linear wave theory. The radar is looking horizontally straight towards the waves in 5 separate beam...master thesis 2020

Maas, J.B. (author), van Gent, R.N.H.W. (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Although the main goal of a newly developed Collision Alert Radar is to observe airborne targets, it was found that reflections of the ground are received by the radar. The radar is carried on board of the aircraft, and the ground reflections may be used to detect flight information with respect to the terrain, something which is not possible...conference paper 2020

Uysal, Faruk (author)A frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar takes advantage of stretch processing (dechirping, deramping) to reduce the sampling requirements of radar systems such as automotive radars. When applying phase coding into FMCW radar systems for interference mitigation or joint communication, preservation of this benefit is not possible, due...journal article 2020

Neemat, S.A.M. (author), Krasnov, O.A. (author), van der Zwan, W.F. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)Classical saw-tooth Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radars experience a coupling between the maximum unambiguous Doppler-velocity interval, maximum operational range, range-resolution and processing gain. Operationally, a trade-off is often necessarily made between these parameters. In this paper, we propose a waveform and a...journal article 2020

Maas, J.B. (author), Stefanovici, V. (author), van Gent, R.N.H.W. (author), Hoekstra, J.M. (author)Many pilots in General Aviation use electronic add-ons aids in flight, which rely on satellite navigation information. This navigation information is often a single point of failure which is undesirable since the pilot relies on the information. This paper presents the results of research whether a novel mobile radar station can be used to...conference paper 2020

Yun, Joongsup (author), Anderson, David (author), Fioranelli, F. (author)This paper presents parametric investigation results on a staring FMCW radar system which targets drone swarms. The parametric investigation has been carried out by using the RAPID-SIM which facilitates system-level analysis of drone swarms' radar signatures. This paper explains concepts of the simulator's each module and also covers two...conference paper 2020

Xu, S. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)This article addresses the joint estimation of range, velocity and azimuth for multiple fast-moving targets using (ultra-)wideband (UWB) frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) radar with a phased array in the presence of Doppler ambiguities. The range migration of moving targets is described with the coupling of the fast-time and slow...journal article 2020

Shrestha, Aman (author), Li, Haobo (author), Kernec, Julien le (author), Fioranelli, F. (author)Recognition of human movements with radar for ambient activity monitoring is a developed area of research that yet presents outstanding challenges to address. In real environments, activities and movements are performed with seamless motion, with continuous transitions between activities of different duration and a large range of dynamic...journal article 2020

Hehenberger, Simon P. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author), Stelzer, Andreas (author)In state-of-the-art frequency-modulated continuous-wave (FMCW) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) radar systems, antennas are usually designed based on microstrip technology. They are arranged in uniform arrays such that the synthesized virtual array maximizes the angular resolution. This paper presents the design of a 77-GHz FMCW MIMO...conference paper 2020

Xu, S. (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)Separating images of multiple moving extended-targets by means of ultra-wideband (UWB) frequency-modulated-continuous-wave (FMCW) radar is investigated. The difference in motion of closely-spaced extended targets is used to separate and image them when their radar signatures overlap in the range-azimuth domain. A novel auto-focusing criterion...journal article 2020

Lampel, Franz (author), Uysal, Faruk (author), Tigrek, Firat (author), Orru, Simone (author), Alvarado, Alex (author), Willems, Frans (author), Yarovoy, Alexander (author)This paper describes an FMCW based radar and communication (RadCom) system and addresses the challenges in the synchronization of multiple units for communication functionality. We proposed a novel technique to detect the FMCW RadCom signal at the communication receiver and derive the detection and false alarm probabilities of it. Moreover,...conference paper 2020
