A mission concept for simultaneous measurements of marine winds and surface currents

A radar scatterometer operates by transmitting a pulse of microwave energy toward the ocean’s surface and measuring the normalized (per-unit-surface) radar backscatter coefficient (r8). The primary application of scatterometry is the measurement of near-surface ocean winds. By com ...
Wideband radars have been proposed for detection of moving targets, with unique capability of non-ambiguous detection due to range migration. Moreover, frequency diversity has long been used for mitigating the fading effects caused by target and clutter fluctuations. The real ben ...
The problem considered is that of estimating unambiguously migrating targets observed with a wideband radar. We extend a previously described sparse Bayesian algorithm to the presence of diffuse clutter and off-grid targets. A hybrid-Gibbs sampler is formulated to jointly estimat ...
This paper deals with the problem of coherent radar detection of fast moving targets in a high range resolution mode. In particular, we are focusing on the spiky clutter modeled as a compound Gaussian process with rapidly varying power along range. Additionally, a fast moving tar ...
When designing a new radar system, standard resolution trade-offs play a major role, providing the basic parameters of the radar, such as size, update rate, and range. Besides, diversity has long been used for mitigating fading effects due to the fluctuation of targets and clutte ...
One of the most striking challenges that radar designers have to deal with, when developing new doppler systems, is to overcome the difficulty of working with ambiguous velocities. Even using high PRF’s, target’s velocities become ambiguous because wavelengths are getting shorter ...
In this paper, we consider the problem of estimating a signal of interest embedded in noise using a sparse signal representation (SSR) approach. This problem is relevant in many radar applications. In particular, estimating a radar scene consisting of targets with wide amplitude ...
In this paper the problem of unambiguous moving target detection using wideband radar is considered. Doppler ambiguities, which are present in the low pulse repetition frequency mode, are transformed into ambiguous sidelobes of targets and clutter using range migration effect. Ho ...
Within the scope of sparse signal representation, we consider the problem of velocity ambiguity mitigation for wideband radar signal. We present a Bayesian robust algorithm based on a new sparsifying dictionary suited for range-migrating targets possibly straddling range-velocity ...

The problem of range-migrating target detection in a compound-Gaussian clutter is studied here. We assume a target to have a range-walk of a few range cells during the coherent processing interval, when observed by wideband radar with high range resolution. Two CFAR detectors are ...
Adaptive detection of fast moving targets by means of high range resolution radar is considered. It is assumed that a fast-moving target of interest has a few range cells migration during the coherent processing interval and the clutter power fluctuates rapidly along the range. T ...
In this paper the influence of clutter power spectrum on unambiguous radar target detection with single low pulse repetition frequency wideband waveform is analyzed. Impact of both stationary and diffuse clutter components for different signal bandwidths and coherent processing i ...
This study presents a simple yet ingenious transmit diversity technique (so-called hybrid codes) for phased array radar. Its main property is the capability of digital beamforming on transmit just like with a set of orthogonal signals employed by coherent multiple-input–multiple- ...
To improve the efficiency of surveillance radars, we describe a method using a single train of wideband (≈10% relative bandwidth) coherent pulses, rather than a sequence of several trains of narrow-band pulses. In this technique, target velocity is measured by both pulse-topulse ...
Pulse-Doppler radars classically transmit a train of pulses with a narrow bandwidth at a constant pulse repetition frequency (PRF) to detect moving targets. By design, they are subject to the well-known problem of range and/or velocity ambiguities. Indeed, the ambiguous velocity ...

Modern surveillance radars are designed to detect moving targets of interest in an adverse environment, which can encompass strong unwanted reflections from ground or sea surface, clouds, precipitation, etc. Detection of weak and small moving targets in environmental clutter rema ...
