In this study, low angle monopulse DF error due to multipath is dealt with using even difference pattern in a monopulse system. It is shown that the complex angle processing based on this approach has a potential to solve the problem. The multipath problem is modelled using both the specular and the diffuse scattering, while the random nature of the latter is also taken into account.

Target glint phenomenon analysis and evaluation of glint reduction techniques
Bahtiyar, Selçuk; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
In this thesis, target induced glint error phenomenon is analyzed and the glint reduction techniques are evaluated. Glint error reduction performance of the methods is given in a comparative manner. First, target glint is illustrated with the dumbbell model which has two point scatterers. This illustration of the glint error builds the basic notion of target scattering centers and effect of scattering characteristics on glint error. This simplest approach is also used to understand the glint reduction metho...
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...
Analysis and design of conformal frequency selective surfaces /
Dalkılıç, Akın; Alatan, Lale; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
An efficient analysis and design approach for conformal frequency selective surface (FSS) structures is developed. The design methodology involves the analysis of both the planar and curved FSS structures. First, planar unit cell analysis of conformal FSS models are accomplished for normal and oblique incidence cases. To prove conformal applicability of planar designs, a semi-finite analysis method is utilized. This method is based on solution of a singly periodic curved FSS structure of semi-cylinder shape...
Compressive sensing for radar target detection
Çağlıyan, Firuze; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
Compressive sampling, also known as compressive sensing and sparse recovery, is a new type of sampling theory, which predicts that sparse signals and images can be reconstructed from far less amount of data than what was traditionally considered necessary (i.e. Nyquist/Shannon sampling theory). The theory has many applications such as design of new imaging systems, cameras, sensor networks and analog to digital converters. Several algorithms have been proposed for the measurement and recovery process of the...
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...
