Exploring Homogeneity and Covariance Matrix Structure of Multistatic/Polarimetric Sea-Clutter Data

The design of bespoke adaptive detection schemes relying on the joint use of multistatic/polarimetric measurements requires a preliminary statistical inference on the clutter interference environment. This is fundamental to develop an analytic model for the received signal samples, which is used to synthesize the radar detector. In this...

Experimental study on multi-channel waveform agile beamforming and testbed calibration

In this paper, a novel multi-channel waveform agile radar testbed - ASTAP (Advanced Space-Time Adaptive Processing) with eight transmit channels and a single receive channel to form a co-located Multiple-Input Single-Output (MISO) radar is presented. Based on current configuration, the ASTAP radar system possesses agility for synthesizing and...
