Download or read book Sea Clutter written by Keith Ward and published by IET. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second edition of Sea Clutter: Scattering, the K Distribution and Radar Performance gives an authoritative account of our current understanding of radar sea clutter. Topics covered include the characteristics of radar sea clutter, modelling radar scattering by the ocean surface, statistical models of sea clutter, the simulation of clutter and other random processes, detection of small targets in sea clutter, imaging ocean surface features, radar detection performance calculations, CFAR detection, and the specification and measurement of radar performance. The calculation of the performance of practical radar systems is presented in sufficient detail for the reader to be able to tackle related problems with confidence. For this fully revised and updated second edition new material has been added on the Doppler characteristics of sea clutter and associated detection processing methods, bistatic sea clutter measurements; electromagnetic scattering theory of littoral sea clutter and bistatic sea clutter; the use of models for predicting radar performance, including discussion of Lognormal and Weibull models; further results and extended discussion on the modelling of the K distribution shape parameter for different conditions; the simulation of Doppler spectra of sea clutter; high grazing angle scattering; and the use of the K distribution in other fields. The material has been reorganized into four parts: Sea Clutter Properties, Mathematics of the K distribution, Radar Detection and Physical Modelling. This reorganization allows readers to access specific areas quickly, without the need for an extensive knowledge of the other parts.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report results from a contract tasking University of Pisa as follows: The research is divided in two phases. In the first phase, we consider modeling and estimating the characteristic parameters of high resolution non-Gaussian sea clutter. We will investigate specifically nonstationarity and possible non-Gaussianity of the clutter on long period of time, by applying nonhomogeneity tests and spectral analysis to highlight the temporal changes of the clutter process. The analyses of high resolution clutter will be performed by processing complex clutter data collected in November 1993 and in winter 1998 with the high resolution IPIX radar, provided by McMaster University, at a range resolution of 60 m, 30 m, 15 m, 9 m, and 3 m, in like- (HH-VV) and crosspolarizations (HV-VH) An accurate characterization of the high resolution radar clutter allows a more adequate design of the radar detector of targets. This detector needs to be adaptive to the data and should have the ability to comply with the non-homogeneous nature of the clutter interference. This aspect of the problem will be discussed in the second phase of this study. A detailed analysis of the impact of the nonstationarity of the clutter will be performed first analytically (where possible) and by means of simulations; then we will use the real recorded data to feed adaptive detectors, designed for stationary Gaussian and non-Gaussian clutter, and we will compare theoretical and simulated performance with real data performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This highly-anticipated second edition of an Artech House classic covers several key radar analysis areas: the radar range equation, detection theory, ambiguity functions, waveforms, antennas, active arrays, receivers and signal processors, CFAR and chaff analysis. Readers will be able to predict the detection performance of a radar system using the radar range equation, its various parameters, matched filter theory, and Swerling target models. The performance of various signal processors, single pulse, pulsed Doppler, LFM, NLFM, and BPSK, are discussed, taking into account factors including MTI processing, integration gain, weighting loss and straddling loss. The details of radar analysis are covered from a mathematical perspective, with in-depth breakdowns of radar performance in the presence of clutter. Readers will be able to determine the nose temperature of a multi-channel receiver as it is used in active arrays. With the addition of three new chapters on moving target detectors, inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) and constant false alarm rate (CFAR) and new MATLAB codes, this expanded second edition will appeal to the novice as well as the experienced practitioner.

Download or read book Handbook of Radar Scattering Statistics for Terrain written by Fawwaz Ulaby and published by Artech House. This book was released on 2019-06-30 with total page 395 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The classic reference for radar and remote sensing engineers, Handbook of Radar for Scattering Statistics for Terrain, has been reissued with updated, practical software for modern data analysis applications. First published in 1989, this update features a new preface, along with three new appendices that explain how to use the new software and graphical user interface. Python- and MATLAB-based software has been utilized so remote sensing and radar engineers can utilize the wealth of statistical data that came with the original book and software. This update combines the book and software, previously sold separately, into a single new product. The text first presents detailed examinations of the statistical behavior of speckle when superimposed on nonuniform terrain. The Handbook of Radar Scattering Statistics for Terrain then supports system design and signal processing applications with a complete database of calibrated backscattering coefficients. Compiled over 30 years, the statistical summaries of radar backscatter from terrain offers you over 400,000 data points compiled in tabular format. With this text, you'll own the most comprehensive database of radar terrain scattering statistics ever compiled. Derived from measurements made by both airborne and ground-based scatterometer systems, the database includes information from 114 references. The text provides over 60 tables of backscatter data for 9 different surface categories, all derived under strict quality criteria. Rigorous standards for calibration accuracy, measurement precision, and category identification make the database the most reliable source for scattering statistics ever available.

Download or read book High Level Adaptive Signal Processing Architecture with Applications to Radar Non Gaussian Clutter Volume 3 Spherically Invariant Random Processes for Radar Clutter Modeling Simulation and Distribution Identification written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation is motivated by the problem of detection of weak signals in a strong radar clutter background. The fundamental issues that need to be addressed in the weak signal detection problem are radar clutter modeling, simulation and distribution approximation. These issues are easily addressed when the clutter is a correlated Gaussian random process. However, these issues have not received much attention when the clutter is a correlated non-Gaussian random process. This thesis addresses the problem of modeling, simulation and distribution approximation of correlated non-Gaussian radar clutter. The theory of spherically invariant random processes is used for statistical characterization of non-Gaussian radar clutter. Several examples of multivariate probability density functions arising from spherically invariant random processes are presented. A new result which uniquely characterizes the multivariate probability density functions arising from spherically invariant random processes is obtained. Two new canonical computer simulation procedures are developed in order to simulate radar clutter that can be described by spherically invariant random processes. Finally, a new algorithm is used to address the problem of distribution identification of the clutter using relatively small sample sizes. This technique makes use of the result which uniquely characterizes the multivariate probability density functions arising from spherically invariant random processes and reduces the multivariate distribution approximation problem to an equivalent univariate distribution approximation problem resulting in a major simplification of processing.
