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 analysis and Hough transform is used for the separate extraction of the number of blades, blade length and angular velocity of the rotor. The algorithm is developed for a pulse-Doppler tracking radar. The performance of the proposed algorithm is tested for different SNR values. The effectiveness of different time-frequency distribution methods on the parameter extraction technique is analyzed.

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.
Height Estimation for Ballistic Platforms using Differential Measurements Vural, Aydin; Sengul, Orhan; Demir, Şimşek; Hizal, Altunkan (2013-10-01) Use of radio waves is a very common choice for proximity fuzes. The stand-off distance for fuzes varies between a lower and an upper limit depending on the electromagnetic reflectivity of terrain (target). If the reflectivity of the terrain is comparably higher, the return power at the receiver reaches to the threshold level more quickly and the stand-off distance increases. The work presented here introduces an approach to estimate the height of airborne ballistic platforms more precisely compared with the...
Distance Measurement by Phase Tracking Dogan, Ozan; Demir, Ibrahim; Aydin, Umut (2017-05-18) In this work, multi frequency continuous wave radar phase unwrapping and the target tracking algorithm are combined. In order to unwrap the wrapped measurement, the unwrapped range measurement or the predicted range is utilized. Methods are assessed with the simulations and field tests. Final tracked range accuracy is shown to be increased without an additional phase unwrapping procedure.
Prospects of FMCW-based frequency diverse array radar Cetiner, Ramazan; Cetintepe, Cagri; Demir, Şimşek; Hizal, Altunkan (2019-11-01) The linear frequency modulated (LFM) frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW)-based frequency diverse array (FDA) radar concept is investigated in detail. The radar operates as a linear pulsed FMCW/FDA in the transmission (TX) mode while it operates as a pulsed FMCW/phased array (PA) in the receiving mode. The issues such as low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of FDA, the time-angle scanning and time-range ambiguities are studied. It is shown that the local instantaneous frequency bandwidth is much smaller th...
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...
