Beamspace Approach for Detection of the Number of Coherent Sources

Download
2012-05-11
A beamspace approach is presented to detect the multiplicity of impinging sources on the sensor array for the direction of arrival estimation problem. The method applies to the coherent signals and can also be used to detect the presence of interfering multipath signal. In many applications, the signal to noise ratio is not sufficient to resolve multiple sources with close spatial frequencies. The suggested method is to detect the presence of an interfering secondary source which can not be possibly resolved.

Radar propagation modelling using the split step parabolic equation method
Türkboyları, Alpaslan; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2004)
This document describes radar propagation modelling using split step parabolic wave equation (PWE) method. A computer program using Fourier split-step (FSS) marching technique is developed for predicting the electromagnetic wave propagation in troposphere. The program allows specification of frequency, polarization, antenna radiation pattern, antenna altitude, elevation angle and terrain profile. Both staircase terrain modelling and conformal mapping are used to model the irregular terrain. Mixed Fourier tr...
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...
Multi-dimensional hough transform based on unscented transform as a method of track-before-detect /
Şahin, Gözde; Demirekler, Mübeccel; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
Track-Before-Detect (TBD) is the problem where target state estimation and detection occur simultaneously, and is a suitable method for the detection of low-SNR targets in unthresholded sensor data. In this thesis, a new Multi-Dimensional Hough Transform (MHT) technique based on Unscented Transform is proposed for the detection of dim targets in radar data. MHT is a TBD method that fuses Hough Transform results obtained on (x-t), (y-t) and (x-y) domains in order to detect a constant velocity target. The pro...
Beamspace Aware Adaptive Channel Estimation for Single-Carrier Time-varying Massive MIMO Channels
Güvensen, Gökhan Muzaffer (2017-05-25)
In this paper, the problem of sequential beam construction and adaptive channel estimation based on reduced rank (RR) Kalman filtering for frequency-selective massive multipleinput multiple-output (MIMO) systems employing single-carrier (SC) in time division duplex (TDD) mode are considered. In two-stage beamforming, a new algorithm for statistical pre - beamformer design is proposed for spatially correlated timevarying wideband MIMO channels under the assumption that the channel is a stationary Gauss-Marko...
Range and Angle Measurement in a Linear Pulsed Frequency Diverse Array Radar
Cetiner, Ramazan; Demir, Şimşek; Hizal, Altunkan (2017-05-12)
The range-angle coupling in Frequency Diverse Array (FDA) radar is uniquely solved. The array operates as a linear pulsed FDA in the transmission (TX) mode while it operates as a pulsed phased array (PA) in the receiving (RX) mode. The duration of FDA TX pulse is chosen as minimum. A novel radar concept is proposed. It is shown that FDA waveform can be further compressed by matched filtering (MF).
