Robust Feature Extraction Algorithm for analysis of Radar Targets using Multi-Object Tracking on Range Velocity Space

In this thesis, we propose, a Robust data extraction algorithm capable of extracting reliable target features of multiple moving targets of different classes over all channels of an S-Band Doppler Polarimetric Radar PARSAX. The proposed algorithm is capable of generating a time series data by tracking, clusters of detections - representing...

A X-Band Patch Antenna Array With Low Cross-Polarization: For Weather Radar Applications

Meaningful dual-polarized radar estimations suitable for radar meteorology require a cross-polarization discrimination (XPD) and isolation (XPI) in excess of 30 dB to reach a differential reflectivity accuracy lower than 0.1 dB. A planar dual-polarized patch antenna array featuring low cross-polarization is proposed to meet these requirements...

Characterization of the Atmosphere in Jupiter's Great Red Spot

Polarimetry is a powerful remote sensing technique that can be used to characterize plane- tary atmospheres and potentially, to detect and characterize exoplanets. The degree of linear polarization as a function of wavelength and phase angle varies with the presence and compo- sition of cloud, haze and gas particles. In particular, when in-situ...

Development of Advanced Model of Radar and Communication Signals Scattering on Wind Turbines

In the recent years, there has been an increase in the popularity of renewable energy sources. One such being the wind energy. With the development in the field of wind energy, the structure of the wind turbines (WT) has also increased. The huge wind turbine structure (WTS) and the wind farms, both offshore and onshore, has a strong impact on...
