Object Tracking in Images of an Airborne Wide Angle FMCW Radar

Object tracking is performed when surveillance applications have multiple observations of an object over time. An example of such a surveillance application is mounting a wideangle Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) radar system on board of a General Aviation aircraft. This is done in order to observe its environment in detail, including...

Radar to radar interference for 77GHz automotive radar

Automotive radar is a key element in Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS). With the growth of Automotive industry, there is a high demand for the sensors used in assisting systems. As the number of sensors increases, probability that these systems being in close proximity will also increase. This will lead to situations where in multiple...

General Aviation Radar System for Navigation and Attitude Determination: Deriving aircraft states using multiple on board FMCW radars

General Aviation aircraft mostly fly with Visual Flight Rules (VFR). These are rules in aviation that permit the pilot to fly on sight if the weather conditions offer enough visibility for the pilot to perform the following tasks visually: collision avoidance with terrain or other airborne object, navigation and attitude determination. VFR...

Millimeter-Wave Digitally-Assisted Frequency Synthesizer in CMOS

Antenna Array Signal Processing for Multistatic Radar Systems

The introductions of Digital Beam Forming (DBF), original signal exploitation and waveform multiplexing techniques have led to the design of novel radar concepts. Passive Coherent Locator (PCL) and Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) sensors are two examples of innovative approaches. Beside the inherent benefits of this class of sensors,...

Interleaved Array Antennas for FMCW Radar Applications

An effective and robust strategy for concurrently designing the transmit and receive antennas of a frequency-modulated, continuos-wave radar is discussed. The aperture architecture is based on the use of non-periodic, interleaved sub-arrays. Deterministic element placement is employed for ensuring design efficiency. The procedure yields...

Development of an Airborne Ka-band FMCW Synthetic Aperture Radar

In the field of airborne earth observation there is a special interest in lightweight, low cost imaging radars of high resolution. Such radar systems could play an essential role in small-scale earth observation applications such as the monitoring of dikes, watercourses or areas in which gas pipes or electrical power lines are buried. In order...
