Knibbe, E. (author)In this report a presentation is given of the theory of polarisation measurements with radar. This theory is coupled to the characteristics of the Delft Atmospheric Research Radar and it is shown that full polarisation information can be acquired with this FM-CW radar in 6.25 ms. A simulation of the necessary signal processing is presented with...master thesis 1984

De Wit, J.J.M. (author)In order to obtain the cloud liquid water content from radar observations, a relationship between the radar reflectivity (Z) and the cloud liquid water content (LWC) must be found. In literature, empirical Z-LWC have been proposed. However these relationships ignore drizzle-sized droplets. Since the clouds were drizzling during Clare these...master thesis 2000

Samiei-Esfahany, S. (author)The persistent scatterer interferometry (PSI) is a relatively new technique in radar interferometry which has matured, within a last decade, to a practical technique for measuring the deformation of the Earth’s surface. PSI overcomes the main limitations of conventional InSAR methods by identifying radar targets, called persistent scatterers (PS...master thesis 2008

Van de Bovenkamp, R. (author), Steenwijk, M. (author)Deze thesis beschrijft de ontwikkelling van software die op basis van FMCW-radargegevens een voetbal kan detecteren en volgen. De problemen die zich daarbij voordoen zijn onder andere het maken van onderscheid tussen voetballen en andere objecten, het volgen van een voetbal en het omgaan met complexe situaties zoals die zich in het voetbalspel...bachelor thesis 2008

Put, S.C. (author)The research presented in this M.Sc. thesis focuses on the inversion of earthquake slip distributions using Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry (InSAR). This space-borne remote sensing technique enables one to observe surface deformation caused by earthquakes. These observations can be used to estimate earthquake slip distributions. A slip...master thesis 2008

Zhao, D. (author)Beamforming systems operating at millimeter-wave frequencies provide spatial selectivity, array gain and wide bandwidth, which benefit point-to-point Gb/s wireless communication network and high-resolution radar applications. In this thesis, a 60 GHz beamforming transmitter for a pulse Doppler radar is designed, which can be used for indoor...master thesis 2009

Godana, B.E. (author)Human activity characterization based on gait signatures is important in several applications including medical, elderly care, police, biometric identification, etc. Cameras and on-body accelerometers are widely investigated for characterizing human activity. Nonetheless, in order to achieve wide acceptance, sensors to be used for these...master thesis 2009

Jiang, L. (author)Frequency up-conversion is an integral part of the (sub)mm wave integrated radar system that is currently developed at the TUDelft in the context of the MEMPIS program. The proposed up-converter IC allows the necessary signal modulation for the radar to be generated at a relative low frequency, after up-conversion to W-band takes place. In our...master thesis 2009

Berghuis, G. (author)Under current regulations, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are prohibited from operating in non- segregated airspace. The absence of a pilot is considered to be a potential hazard because the pilot is responsible for the separation with other aircraft. In unmanned aviation the pilot, or operator, can never detect possible separation conflicts...master thesis 2010

Georgiou, S. (author)The specific differential phase (Kdp) is a polarimetric radar observable which can be advantageous for rain rate estimation as it is not affected by absolute calibration errors and resistive to hail contamination. Its estimation, starting from the differential phase (?dp) consists of many processing steps and considerations which are more...master thesis 2010

Van Gemert, J. (author), Janssen, M.S. (author), Malotaux, E.S. (author)This thesis describes the work done on a control system for the Transportable Atmospheric RAdar (TARA), which is located at the Cabauw Experimental Site for Atmosperic Research (CESAR). It describes the way in which this radar control unit was implemented within the TARA, by making use of a high-level programming language. The control unit...bachelor thesis 2011

Den Engelsen, E. (author), Stienstra, E.D. (author)The TARA scans through a column of atmosphere in order to observe and study cloud system behavior. After 10 years of operation new knowledge of processing has been acquired which allows for an update that will improve measurement quality and processing speed. The main question of this thesis is: How to implement data processing, visualization...bachelor thesis 2011

Peters, R.Y. (author), Liu, X. (author)In tegenstelling tot conventionele radar -en radiosystemen kan de toepas- sing van een Software Defined Radio (SDR) grotendeels bepaald worden in software. Een SDR bestaat uit een RF-frontend, een paar ADC/DAC’s, een FPGA en een host computer. In de hostcomputer en de FPGA kan de functie van een SDR volledig worden geherdefini ?eerd, zonder dat...bachelor thesis 2011

Groot, S.R. (author)Automatic detection of humans is an important part of many security and surveillance applications. Automatic processing diminishes the effect of human errors on the detection and allows extensive analysis after detection. Radar has certain advantages for human detection because of its all-weather and day and night capability, as well the fact it...master thesis 2011

Verzeilberg, J.M.M. (author)After a MIMO revolution in the telecommunications world, this technology becomes increasingly popular in the radar world. The radar end-users are demanding more and more of their systems, while the targets are designed to have an as small as possible RCS, which makes them more difficult to detect. With multiple transmitters and receivers it may...master thesis 2011

Van der Torren, P.T. (author)In this study methods are developed for improved analysis and processing of PSI data. PSI, or radar interferometry, makes it possible to use satellite radar images to measure deformation of the Earth’s surface and objects on it with millimetre accuracy. However, interpretation of the measurements and identifying the actually measured objects is...master thesis 2011
