A subspace-aware kelly's detector using reduced secondary data with fast and slow time preprocessing

2019-04-01
In homogeneous clutter environments, as the number of secondary cells used increases and eventually goes to infinity, the performance of the adaptive detectors increase and eventually goes to the performance of the max-SINR filter. However, this is not the case when the clutter is heterogeneous. In such environments, the adaptive detectors need to use small numbers of secondary cells. In such cases, reducing the dimension of the space in which the estimation occurs increases the detection performance. It is shown that reducing the dimension with the generalized eigenspace of signal and clutter subspaces instead of the conventional DFT subspace results in a remarkable increase in the detection performance and significantly reduces the number of secondary cells needed in the detection process. Combining this operation with a proper fast-time preprocessing method, a fast and robust detector is proposed. Simulation results are provided for comparing the detector's performance with other conventional radar detectors.

A General framework for adaptive radar detection based on fast and slow-time preprocessing
Saraç, Uğur Berkay; Güvensen, Gökhan Muzzaffer.; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019)
This thesis is about the design of an adaptive radar detector under heterogeneous clutter environment using a small number of secondary data, which is at the same time robust to Doppler mismatch. To this end, the observations taken from heterogeneous clutter environment are first processed with a specially designed fast-time preprocessing matrix, cleansing the target contamination in the secondary range cells. Using these clean secondary data, the covariance matrix of the clutter is estimated via the parame...
An Adaptive fast time radar receiving filter for minimization of clutter and time side-lobes
Özdemir, Seçil; Tanık, Yalçın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
In this thesis, a maximum likelihood receiver to obtain the target range profile that uses the clutter prediction derived from the target-free previous observations is suggested as a fast time processor for pulse compression radar systems. The maximum likelihood receiver is proposed to overcome the range sidelobe problem, which is introduced by the pulse compression method. Conventional methods, such as the matched filter receiver, as fast time processor result in the targets with high radar cross sec- tion...
A clustering algorithm that maximizes throughput in 5G heterogeneous F-RAN networks
Balevi, Eren; Gitlin, Richard D. (2018-07-27)
© 2018 IEEE.In this paper, a clustering algorithm is proposed that dynamically determines the locations of fog nodes in 5G wireless networks, which are upgraded from small cells, in order to maximize throughput assuming the number of fog nodes and small cells are given as a priori information. The proposed algorithm dynamically clusters the small cells around the fog nodes. The approach is based on a soft clustering model where one small cell can be connected to many fog nodes. The numerical results demonst...
A Novel Dual-band Metamaterial Structure
Ekmekci, E.; Turban-Sayan, G. (2009-08-21)
In this study, we propose a novel metamaterial structure having magnetic resonances at two different frequencies and hence providing negative effective permeability values over two separate bandwidths. The introduced metamaterial unit cell topology in this paper is made of a single loop of conducting strip printed over a dielectric substrate with a special winding geometry. Transmission and reflection spectra of this unit cell are simulated using the Ansoft's HFSS software to observe its resonance frequenci...
A CMOS n-well microbolometer FPA with temperature coefficient enhancement circuitry
Eminoglu, S; Tezcan, DS; Akın, Tayfun (2001-04-20)
This paper reports the development of a low-cost CMOS microbolometer focal plane array with a new temperature coefficient enhancement readout circuit. We have recently reported an uncooled microbolometer detector that uses the CMOS n-well layer as the active material, where the suspended and thermally isolated n-well structure is obtained by silicon bulk micromachining of fabricated CMOS dies. In addition, we have successfully fabricated a 16x16 n-well microbolometer FPA. Although n-well is single crystal s...
