Radar is a system which uses electromagnetic waves to determine the range, direction and velocity of objects. In this thesis, an Acoustic Radar system is designed and implemented. Acoustic Radar uses sound waves to localize objects. While such a system has several limitations compared to its electromagnetic counterpart, the simplicity and low cost of its front-end makes it a good testbed for realizing the functions of a radar system. In this thesis, a six element transmit-receive array is constructed using loudspeakers and microphones. Six channel A/D and D/A converter boards are integrated with an FPGA unit where all the processing for transmit and receive functions are implemented. Signal processing is composed of filtering, beamforming, cross correlation and decision processes. The hardware platform is controlled by a computer through an ethernet connection. A user interface is provided where the radar functions can be controlled and changed. The tests for the acoustic radar are performed in an uncontrolled laboratory environment where there are several objects which generate multipaths. It is shown that the system works consistently and can localize objects accurately.

Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave Radar for Range Detection
Kaya, Tevfik; Sahin, Enes Burak; Nesimoglu, Tayfun (2018-11-02)
In this paper, a Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave Radar is built using radio frequency techniques. Radar can measure the nearest object's range from 2 to 30 meters with 1-meter range resolution. The design process was carried out by using computer-aided design techniques, and mathematical tools. The hardware prototype was built and measurements were carried out confirming successful operation of the range detection radar.
Parametric estimation of clutter autocorrelation matrix for ground moving target indication
Kalender, Emre; Tanık, Yalçın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
In airborne radar systems with Ground Moving Target Indication (GMTI) mode, it is desired to detect the presence of targets in the interference consisting of noise, ground clutter, and jamming signals. These interference components usually mask the target return signal, such that the detection requires suppression of the interference signals. Space-time adaptive processing is a widely used interference suppression technique which uses temporal and spatial information to eliminate the effects of clutter and ...
SPARSE RECONSTRUCTION FOR NEAR-FIELD MIMO RADAR IMAGING USING FAST MULTIPOLE METHODS
Miran, Emre Alp; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Öktem, Sevinç Figen; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2022-1-27)
Multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) radar is an advanced radar technique, where spatially distributed transmitting and receiving sub-arrays operate sequentially or simultaneously. In this technique, each antenna may transmit either the same or different waveforms, and this leads to better spatial resolution when compared to conventional phased array radar. Therefore, MIMO radar has been extensively used in imaging applications in the last two decades. In all these applications, the imaged scene is typical...
Parameter estimation of multicomponent micro-doppler signals /
Yıldız, Hüseyin; Severcan, Mete; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
Vibrating and rotating parts on a radar target is known to generate frequency modulated echo signal which is called micro-Doppler signal. Micro-Doppler signals are commonly modeled as the sum of sinusoidally modulated signals and the parameters, such as amplitude, frequency, phase, of these modulations are useful in the identification of these targets. In this thesis, the parameters of micro-Doppler signals from helicopter targets are estimated for the classification of the helicopters. Time-frequency analy...
Algebraic spectral moments based moving clutter parameter estimation and clutter suppression
Oktar, Onur; Tanık, Yalçın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
In many modern radar systems, it is desired to detect the presence of targets in the interference which includes clutter and noise. Various signal processing techniques are proposed to effectively suppress the clutter and increase the signal to interference ratio. To achieve optimum suppression, radar system must know clutter characteristics and process the radar echoes based on these characteristics. For ground radars, the clutter environment characteristics are relatively stable and predictable. These cha...
