It is getting more common that premium cars are equipped with a forward looking radar and a forward looking camera. The data is often used to estimate the road geometry, tracking leading vehicles, etc. However, there is valuable information present in the radar concerning stationary objects, that is typically not used. The present work shows how stationary objects, such as guard rails, can be modeled and tracked as extended objects using radar measurements. The problem is cast within a standard sensor fusion framework utilizing the Kalman filter. The approach has been evaluated on real data from highways and rural roads in Sweden.

Detection and localization of drones in MIMO CW radar Yazıcı, Ayhan; Baykal, Buyurman; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2023-1) Low radar cross section and capability to fly at low speeds make drones challenging targets for radar detection. In the presence of ground moving targets, the frequency spectrum is also crowded which makes the detection of the drones more difficult. Micro-Doppler effect is the main feature used to discriminate drone from other targets and clutter. Typically, discrimination is performed after the detection of all the targets. Especially in target dense environments, such as cities, typical approach requires ...
Optimization of vibration characteristics of a radar antenna structure Baran, İsmet; Özgen, Gökhan Osman; Ciğeroğlu, Ender; Department of Mechanical Engineering (2011) Radar antenna structures especially array antennas which are integrated onto structures of aerial vehicles are subject to dynamic structural and aerodynamic loads. Due to occurrences of these dynamic loads there will be certain dynamic deformations which affect the antenna’s performance in an adverse manner. The influence of deformations and vibrations are important on array antenna structures, since they cause a change in orientation of elements of the phased array antenna which affects the gain of the ant...
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...
Spectral and statistical analyses of experimental radar clutter data Kahyaoğlu, Nazlı Deniz; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010) The performance of radar detection and imaging systems strongly depends on the characteristics of radar clutter. In order to improve the radar signal processing algorithms, successful analysis and modeling of radar clutter are required. For a successful model of radar clutter, both the spectral and statistical characteristics of the clutter should be revealed. Within the scope of this study, an experimental radar data acquisition system is established to analyze radar clutter. The hardware and the data proc...
Detection of mini/micro unmanned air vehicle (UAV) under clutter presence and environmental effects Dere, İsmail Gökhan; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2019) Detection, tracking and classification of Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) is an emerging and crucial capability of radars in recent years. In the presence of clutter such as a crowded city or a foggy weather above sea surface, mini and micro UAVs become very difficult for radars to detect, track and classify. Classification information of UAV targets can be very useful for the critical infrastructures in order to provide security. Examined studies imply that kinematic and characteristic features such as Dopple...
