Use of multiple transmit and receive antennas have become a popular research area in radar community after the success of the same concept in communication. It is shown by Fishler et al. that multi-input multi-output (MIMO) radar has considerable advantages compared to traditional radar and phased array radar systems. In this paper, detection performance of MIMO radar using Neyman-Pearson detector is investigated in K-distributed sea clutter for a practical scenario. Also, spikiness of K-distributed MIMO radar clutter is discussed with respect to the number of nodes.

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...
True-time delay structures for microwave beamforming networks in S-band phased arrays
Temir, Kaan; Demir, Şimşek; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
True time delay networks are one of the most critical structures of wideband phased-array antenna systems which are frequently used in self-protection and electronic warfare applications. In order to direct the main beam of a wideband phased-array antenna to the desired direction; phase values, which are linearly dependent to frequency, are essential. Due to the phase characteristics of the true-time delay networks, beam squint problems for broadband phased array systems are minimized. In this thesis, diffe...
A Low Complexity Two-Stage Target Detection Scheme for Resource Limited Radar Systems
Candan, Çağatay (2013-01-01)
A two-stage detector is proposed to accommodate high computational load requirements of modern radar systems. The first stage of the proposed system is a low-complexity detector that operates at an unusually high false alarm probability value around 1/10. This stage is to prescreen and eliminate some of the test cells with relatively few operations. The second stage operates only on the cells passing the prescreening stage and implements a high-complexity detector at a desired system false alarm rate. Due t...
An alternative multi-tone representation of complex signals for feedforward systems
Coskun, Hakan; Mutlu, Ahmet; Demir, Şimşek (2004-12-01)
Signals used in wireless communication have various stochastic behaviors depending on the type of the modulation. The systems are nonlinear and analysis of these systems with various types of signals is tedious. Therefore developing a universal analysis method and representing any type of input signal with a certain model, such as multi-tone representation and modeling, simplify the analysis and design of these systems enabling initial rapid optimizations and understanding of the system performance. In this...
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...
