The frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW)-based frequency diverse array (FDA) radar concept is extended to two dimensions (2D). 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. It is shown that the FDA has the capability of scanning a 2D angular sector in a single pulse TX. It is shown that local instantaneous frequency bandwidth is much smaller than the radiofrequency (RF) frequency deviation of linear frequency modulation. Positive and negative slope TX/RF locations offer frequency diversity. The low signal-to-noise ratio of FDA is well compensated due to target temporal decorrelation diversity in the observation time and by the cumulative detection scheme used. Time domain and frequency domain signal processings are described. A Kuband direct digital synthesis-based FDA radar design is compared by a corresponding equivalent PA radar.

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...
TEMPORALLY CONSISTENT LAYER DEPTH ORDERING VIA PIXEL VOTING FOR PSEUDO 3D REPRESENTATION
Turetken, Engin; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2009-05-06)
A new region-based depth ordering algorithm is proposed based on the segmented motion layers with affine motion models. Starting from an initial set of layers that are independently extracted for each frame of an input sequence, relative depth order of every layer is determined following a bottom-to-top approach from local pair-wise relations to a global ordering. Layer sets of consecutive time instants are warped in two opposite directions in time to capture pair-wise occlusion relations of neighboring lay...
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.
Sensor Fusion of a Camera and 2D LIDAR for Lane Detection
Schmidt, Klaus Verner (null; 2019-04-26)
This paper presents a novel lane detection algorithm based on fusion of camera and 2D LIDAR data. On the one hand, objects on the road are detected via 2D LIDAR. On the other hand, binary bird’s eye view (BEV) images are acquired from the camera data and the locations of objects detected by LIDAR are estimated on the BEV image. In order to remove the noise generated by objects on the BEV, a modified BEV image is obtained, where pixels occluded by the detected objects are turned into background pixels. Then,...
Cylindrical Substrate Integrated Waveguide (CSIW) Slot Arrays with Uniform and Nonuniform Spacings
Bayraktar, Omer; Aydın Çivi, Hatice Özlem (2014-08-23)
Pattern synthesis of a traveling wave longitudinal slot array on the broad wall of cylindrical substrate integrated waveguide (CSIW) is presented at 25 GHz. In order to have low side lobe level (SLL) and high directivity, the Elliot's design procedure for 1 x 25 slotted waveguide array is applied to satisfy the required slot voltage distribution found by aperture projection method for evenly distributed slot array with complex slot voltage distribution. The results are compared with the design which makes u...
