A position estimation algorithm and signal model for near range harmonic radar

Kurzfassung

In this thesis, the problem of detecting and localizing unknown targets composed of electronic circuit components using harmonic radar is investigated. To this end, a signal model based on the Volterra series, which describes the nonlinear and frequency-dependent transfer behavior of the observed targets, is being proposed. Furthermore, a position estimation algorithm based on conditional maximum likelihood estimation and the block orthogonal matching pursuit techniques is developed.
