The present work supports the use of V-polarization instead of H-polarization under CFAR detection in FMCW coastal surveillance radars due to its statistical advantage. The sea clutter reflectivity, σ0, is about 3-5 dB less for H-polarization than for V-polarization. However, the sea clutter echoes are spikier for H-polarization than V-polarization for a high resolution radar. It has been suggested that for a high resolution radar V-polarization is to be preferred over H-polarization for a fixed threshold detection below a critical radar height [1]. The new numerical results for the detection performance of an FMCW radar with CFAR detection supporting the above argument will be given in the following sections.

Investigation of Simulated Ground Penetrating Radar Data for Buried Objects Using Quadratic Time-Frequency Transformations DOĞAN, MESUT; Sayan, Gönül (2017-07-14) Sub-surface sensing is a challenging area of research that highly benefits from the use of ultra-wideband ground penetrating radar (GPR) technology. Detection and classification of buried objects with reduced false alarm rates is still open to improvements. Use of joint temporal and spectral target features obtained from electromagnetic GPR signals using time-frequency representation (TFR) methods is highly promising because TFRs provide detailed information about the energy distribution of GPR signals over...
Design of an experimental FMCW weather radar Coşkun, Salih; Yılmaz, Ali Özgür; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015) FMCW Radars are used in many applications including weather surveillance. Transmitting during the entire observation interval makes them efficient in terms of required power. They are also cheap and easy to implement. This study which was conducted as a master's thesis, is a radar system working at X band. In this system, 0.8 Watts continuous electromagnetic wave which is modulated with a frequency ramp of 30 MHz bandwidth is generated and radiated through the transmit antenna. The scattered signal from the...
Analysis of near-field ultra-wideband radar imaging algorithms Arabacı, Ahmet; Koç, Seyit Sencer; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017) Recently, near-field ultra-wideband radar imaging algorithms have an important place in short range imaging applications by providing high resolution in both range and cross-range. In this study, the near-field ultra-wideband radar imaging algorithms in the literature such as Holographic Image Reconstruction Algorithm, Range Migration Algorithm, MIMO Based Range Migration Algorithm and MIMO Based Kirchhoff Migration Algorithm have been implemented using MATLAB. The algorithms are applied to modeled transmit...

Determination of buried circular cylinder with ground penetrating radar using an optical fiber sensor Bulur, Hatice Gonca; Şahin, Asaf Behzat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011) The terms ‘ground-probing radar’, ‘ground penetrating radar (GPR)’, ‘sub-surface radar’ or ‘surface-penetrating radar (SPR)’ refer to various techniques for detecting and imaging of subsurface objects. Among those terms GPR is preferred and used more often. In this thesis, the depth and the position of the buried circular cylinder are determined by a GPR system which comprises of an optical fiber sensor (OFS). The system is a combination of OFS, GPR and optical communication link. In order to determine the ...
