The resource management of a phase array system capable of multiple target tracking and surveillance is critical for the realization of its full potential. This paper aims to improve the performance of an existing method, time-balance (TB) scheduling, by establishing an analogy with a well-known stochastic control problem, the machine replacement problem. With the suggested policy, the scheduler can adapt to the operational scenario without a significant sacrifice from the practicality of the TB schedulers. More specifically, the numerical experiments indicate that the schedulers directed with the suggested policy can successfully trade the unnecessary track updates, say of nonmaneuvering targets, with the updates of targets with deteriorating tracks, say of rapidly maneuvering targets, yielding an overall improvement in the tracking performance.

Jammer cancelation by using space-time adaptive processing Uysal, Halil; Severcan, Mete; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) Space-Time Adaptive Processing (STAP) has been widely used in spaceborne and airborne radar platforms in order to track ground moving targets. Jammer is an hostile electronic countermeasure that is being used to degrade radar detection and tracking performance. STAP adapts radar’s antenna radiating pattern in order to reduce jamming effectiveness. Jamming power that enters the system is decreased with respect to the adapted radiation pattern. In this thesis, a generic STAP radar model is developed and imple...
Radar emitter emulation for research and experimental purposes. Çelebi, M. Bahadır; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009) The scope of this thesis is to implement radar emitter emulator in a low cost, portablehardware for operational and educational purposes. The model enables pulse train generation in real environment belonging to radar emitters for military exercises. The motivation comes from another research area which is to design effective algorithms for deinterleaving mixed pulse sequences in a suitable hardware and this thesis, covers the work done for implementing a hardware that generates mixed pulse sequences. First...
Performance Comparison of Target Tracking Algortihms in Underwater Environment Ege, Emre; Saranlı, Afşar (2008-04-22) Target tracking is one the most fundamental elements of a radar system. The aim of target tracking is the reliable estimation of a target's true state based on a time history of noisy sensor observations. In real life, the sensor data may include substantial noise. This noise can render the raw sensor data unsuitable to be used directly. Instead, we must filter the noise, preferably in an optimal manner. For land, air and surface marine vehicles, very successful filtering methods are developed. However, bec...
Performance optimization of monopulse tracking radar Şahin, Mehmet Alper; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004) An analysis and simulation tool is developed for optimizing system parameters of the monopulse target tracking radar and observing effects of the system parameters on the performance of the system over different scenarios. A monopulse tracking radar is modeled for measuring the performance of the radar with given parameters, during the thesis studies. The radar model simulates the operation of a Class IA type monopulse automatic tracking radar, which uses a planar phased array. The interacting multiple mode...
Decision making in tracking applications by using dempster-shafer theory / Turhan, Hasan İhsan; Demirekler, Mübeccel; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014) The aim of this thesis is to study attribute data fusion and decision making for targets tracked by a sensor network consisting of several radars. As an application deciding both target class and identity are studied. Since only partial information is available, Dempster-Shafer theory is used for this application to assign and combine probability masses. In this study, we focus on the problems of basic probability assignment and decision/data fusion. Classification of air vehicles according to their type is...
